Advantages of the L5
Smaller and lighter
Kito's innovative technology makes this new model smaller and lighter than ever before. It’s easy to carry and store, and the LEVER BLOCK is much easier to use, even in a narrow working spaces.
Nickel-plated chain
Kito’s unique R&D produces world-class performance. The grade 100 (1000N/mm2) chain, made from a special high strength alloy, features an unbeatable combination of toughness and resistance to corrosion & wear. (For special environments consult your Kito distributor since corrosion resistance varies depending on corrosives involved)
Lever Handle
A new shape and thicker material creates a very strong lever handle.
Hooks
Hooks are forged from high strength alloy steel allowing the larger capacities – 21/2 through 9 ton – to use hooks that are smaller and lighter.
Kito’s Original Free Chain
Adjusting mechanism Use the Free Knob to quickly and easily adjust the chain. Unique design safeguards against inadvertent freewheeling under load.

Bottom Yoke with protecting guard
Features a guard protecting the chain pin & nut from damage, enhancing safety.
High-strength frame
High grade alloy steel with solid construction, a patented induction hardening process on the loadsupporting part, and increased material thickness produces an extremely strong and rigid frame.
Hook Latch with safety mechanism
Thicker material makes the latch stronger, and engagement with the tip of the hook creates secure closure.
Cap Nuts
Cap nuts fasten the gear case and brake cover protecting the screw from damage and making maintenance easier.
Reliable Brake (mechanical brake)
Delivers positive performance thanks to a brake design incorporating two moisture- resistant asbestos-free brake pads and four braking surfaces. Includes two brake pawls for added reliability.
Capacities range from 0.8 to 9 tons with 2 new capacities that expand the product lineup to 7. Choose the one that best suits your application.

- The load-lifting height can be set according to the user's application. However, no addition to the chain to increase the length is possible as Kito chains are heat treated. When ordering, specify the length of chain in advance or consult your local Kito distributor.
- Lever Blocks with Kito Load signal (overload detection unit) are also available.
* The mass(Net weight) is for the standard load-lifting height.
