The Lincoln Hoist Standard Series cable ratchet puller, often referred to as a "come-along," is a versatile manual tool used for lifting, pulling, and tensioning heavy loads in demanding environments. Known for its durability and portable design, it is a staple for power utilities in de-energized line construction, as well as for professionals in construction, industrial rigging, and forestry. Its unique ability to operate in vertical, horizontal, or angled positions makes it ideal for specialized tasks such as aligning structural steel, installing HVAC units in tight spaces, stretching fencing, and securing heavy machinery. By utilizing a high-strength ratcheting mechanism and aircraft-grade cable, it allows a single operator to safely manage significant weights with precision and minimal manual effort.
Key Features
Durable Construction: Built with robust, open-frame cast aluminum housing for superior strength, allowing for easy inspection and cleaning.
High-Strength Cable: Utilizes highly flexible aircraft cable with a swaged ball terminal that securely anchors the cable to the drum, ensuring full usable cable length.
USA Forged Hooks: Features drop-forged, heat-treated steel 360° swivel hooks with safety latches, meeting or exceeding industry standards for secure load handling.
Safety Overload Mechanism: The reversible handle is designed to bend at 125% of the rated capacity, providing a visual alert to the operator of an overload condition and preventing further damage to the hoist.
Reliable Load Control: Employs a double interlocking pawl mechanism that provides positive load holding and eliminates the risk of the brake slipping.
Maintenance-Free Bearings: "Oiled for life" bearings require minimal maintenance, ensuring consistent, smooth operation over the hoist's lifespan.
Precision Crimping: The cable features a hydraulically crimped copper sleeve for a strong, uniform hold on the cable strands, superior to set screws used by other brands.
Cable Management: An integrated cable shield protects the cable and promotes even winding onto the drum.
User Benefits
Safety and Protection: The built-in overload alert system protects both the operator and the equipment, allowing the user to simply replace the handle if overloaded, not the entire hoist.
Long-Lasting Performance: High-quality materials and "Made in the USA" construction mean thousands of these hoists built decades ago are still in use today, offering a reliable return on investment.
Versatile Applications: The portable, lightweight yet strong design is ideal for numerous pulling and lifting applications across power utilities, construction, industrial rigging, and general maintenance.
Ease of Use in the Field: The quick-release feature allows the cable to be pulled out freely when rigging, and the open-frame design facilitates instant tool inspection and cleaning.
Precise Control: Precision machining ensures a smooth winching operation and meticulous load tensioning for accurate load management.
