tugit

Tugit is a brand of lever hoist, a type of manual lifting device. It is manufactured by CM Co., Ltd. (Columbus McKinnon), a company known for its lifting and rigging equipment. Lever hoists are portable and versatile tools used to lift, pull, or tension loads. They operate by using a lever handle to rotate a gear mechanism, which in turn pulls a length of chain to lift the load.

The Tugit lever hoist is designed for use in various industrial, construction, and maintenance applications. It is known for its durability and reliability, often featuring robust steel construction. Key components typically include a load chain, hook, braking system, and the operating lever. The braking system is crucial for safety, designed to hold the load securely in place once lifted.

Tugit hoists come in a range of capacities, allowing users to select a model appropriate for the weight of the load they need to manipulate. They are often favored for their compact size and ease of operation, making them suitable for use in confined spaces or where power sources are unavailable. Safety features are paramount in their design, with overload protection sometimes incorporated to prevent damage to the hoist or the load. Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection of the chain, hooks, and braking mechanism to ensure continued safe operation.
