In the construction world, time is money. If you want to make the most out of each job, you’ll need to be able to work quickly and efficiently. When it comes time to hoist things, you can make things much easier by having these 3 tools on hand:

1. A pneumatic hoist

Have a big hoisting project that you’ve got to do quickly? If so, a pneumatic hoist will be your new best friend!

With a pneumatic hoist, you’ll use compressed air to get your work done. As a result, these tools come with a 100% duty cycle — which is a fancy way of saying that they can work as long as you need them to, without needing a rest.

If you’re dealing with a manual or an electric hoist, the work take much longer because either you or your electric motor will have to stop and take a break at some point!

As an added benefit, these machines don’t generate a lot of heat, which is great news if you’re working indoors.

And, if you’ve already got compressed air on hand, it only takes a few seconds to connect a pneumatic hoist to it.

2. A comealong

A pneumatic hoist can save you a ton of time — but that doesn’t do you any good if it takes forever to clean up after your hoisting project is finished.

Luckily, a comealong can make your clean-up time go just as quickly as your work time!

A comealong has special ratchet levers that make it easy to wind up long, heavy cables. Those levers will also smooth out cables as you go, so that you don’t wind up with a tangled mess. That way, you can get all of your cables cleaned up in a matter of minutes — instead of slaving over them, working out the kinks by hand, for hours on end.

3. A davit crane

How much easier would your hoisting work be if you could pull out a portable crane and get to work?

You can turn that dream into a reality with a davit crane!

These cranes are made with a vertical base and an angled beam that you can adjust to fit virtually anywhere. Since they come in all kinds of different sizes and weight capacities, you can get a davit crane to hold just about anything you need.

And, when you need to lift and lower things, a davit crane makes it easy. Yours will either come with a hand-powered or an electric winch and cable assembly, so you can hoist things as high as you need to.
