Hoists
  
A hoist is a mechanical device that uses a chain or wire rope with fixed and movable pulleys to lift and move heavy loads safely within warehouses, workshops, and production facilities. Often paired with an overhead crane, a hoist allows operators to handle materials efficiently across different work areas, improving productivity and workplace safety. With over 25 years of experience, Liftsafe supports companies across North America by designing custom material handling solutions that integrate hoists, cranes, and other safety systems. Our in-house engineering team works closely with clients to create reliable, compliant, and performance-driven solutions tailored to their facility’s unique needs.

Electric Winches
Liftsafe provides open winch systems designed for horizontal load pulling over slightly inclined or level surfaces. While winches handle horizontal pulling, hoists lift loads vertically over steeper inclines. Tailored to your facility and equipment applications, an open winch can be an excellent lifting solution. Specializing in industrial electric winches suitable for towing automobiles and heavy equipment, our specialists can guide you in selecting the ideal open winch system, considering factors such as environment, task, facility space, and equipment transportation needs.

Manual Hand Chain Hoists
Liftsafe offers a diverse selection of hand chain hoists, also known as chain fall hoists, from various manufacturers. Ideal for construction, maintenance, and industrial applications, these hoists provide a reliable and efficient solution in facilities where electricity is impractical or unavailable, such as portable gantry or jib cranes. These hoists offer unmatched durability and reliability, and specialized options are available for specific needs, including low headroom, explosion-proof environments, or cleanrooms.
Capacity: 1/2 to 50 tonnes
Manual Lever Hoists
Our compact, portable and highly durable lever hoists pull, lift and position materials with ease. Lever hoists are often referred to as ratchet hoists and allow the operator to move a load through ratcheting movements. These hoists are commonly used for stretching, pulling, tightening or positioning loads in select overhead lifting applications. Lever hoists rely on manual operation to lift or lower loads and fall into typically two main categories, cable/rope hoist or chain hoists.
Capacity: 1/4 to 9 tonnes
Hazardous Environment Hoists
Specialized hazardous environment hoists are indispensable for carrying out tasks safely and ensuring compliance with laws and standards. Ensuring safety in demanding and risky settings is paramount for the seamless functioning of various businesses and sectors. These environments can potentially endanger both materials and personnel. Whether it’s within a chemical plant, petrochemical facility, or steel-making plant, hazardous conditions are present.
