✔ Smaller, lighter, stronger
✔ Prioritizing safety, operability, and ruggedness so that the LB series performs well under the toughest field conditions
✔ Designed for all applications in professional fields such as transportation, bridges, general construction, civil engineering, shipbuilding, and forestry.
✔ KITO original free chain adjusting mechanism
✔ Double-pawl spring mechanism for extra reliability.

Both sides of the hoist are covered with a thick steel gear case and reinforced wheel cover. These critical components are ideally shaped and highly rigid to maintain bearing alignment and withstand external shock..

Even if one of the pawl springs gets damaged, the other continues functioning, ensuring reliable operation.

Specially heat-treated top and bottom hooks are strong and durable enough for the toughest of jobs. The design of the bottom hook, with relatively large dimensions, makes it easy to stabilize a load in the proper position.

A chain guide mechanism for the flanged load sheave and guide roller facilitate smooth movement of the load chain.

The stopper assembly prevents excessive lowering of loads and keeps the load chain from coming off when over-lowered.

The braking mechanism is enclosed in a double cover: the wheel and brake covers. These protective covers not only keep out external weather elements but also help prevent ingress of mud and dust into the internal mechanisms.

KITO’s dry-type asbestos-free mechanical brakes ensure strong braking performance.

Unique ball and needle bearings provide a remarkable boost to mechanical efficiency; generating high output power with minimum manual input.

Years of R&D have resulted in KITO’s successful development of compact yet highly efficient and durable gears.

The load chain is made of an exclusively developed, heat-treated special steel alloy. The special steel is carefully selected and processed entirely at KITO’s fully automated production facilities under the most stringent quality control. Thus, all KITO chains for manual hoist offer the same high breaking stress of 1000 N/㎟ (100 kgf/㎟), providing outstanding quality in terms of toughness and resistance to wear and corrosion.
