BIS certification is mandatory for Ratchet Lever Hoists as per IS 11340:2020. This certification provides proof that the lifting and tensioning of heavy loads, which is the primary function of this device, meets rigorous safety, quality and performance criteria. Ratchet lever hoists are indispensable for a variety of applications such as construction, logistics, mining and fabrication, where workpiece lifting is required in the safest and most cost effective way. Certified to IS 11340:2020, these hoists ensure reliability, user safety and strength in harsh environments.
This Indian Standard covers the requirements for power operated ratchet lever type hoists, known as "lever blocks" or "pull lifts". These hoists are suitable for lifting, lowering and pulling loads in a variety of directions, which makes them versatile on different types of job sites. The standard specifies the minimum acceptable aspects to ensure that hoists can safely lift their rated load capacity. It covers the details of load chains, hooks, levers, brakes and gears. Performance requirements per IS 11340:2020 include load carrying capacity, operational safety, overload resistance and endurance testing for mechanical efficiency. The test is conducted to guarantee it function under the rated capacity in a safe environment and under no circumstances are ratchet lever hoists manufactured without having completed this test procedure.
