• Travelling chain ‘End Stop’ - the adjustable travelling end stop which can be positioned next to the body of the lever hoist to prevent slippage and run off.
• DABS (Dual Anti-Lock Brake System) - prevents the accidental engagement of freewheel.
• Slip prevention contoured rubber “T”  shaped grip - specially designed to improve grip with gloves, especially in the wet.
