Who is the Hand Lifting Tool for?
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Fixture and window installer |
Suitable |
One-handed operation frees the other hand to position and secure doors, windows, and sashes during installation. |
| Carpenter and furniture maker |
Suitable |
The 120 kg capacity and stroke up to 310 mm allow for lifting and positioning heavy panels, furniture, and beams without assistance. |
| Floor layer |
Suitable |
By mounting the base on the opposite side of the bar, the tool acts as a spacer when laying floating or laminate floors. |
| Lifting loads over 120 kg |
Not suitable |
The certified maximum capacity is 120 kg; exceeding this limit compromises the safety and structural integrity of the tool. |
Not suitable for: continuous lifting in industrial environments with high-frequency repeated cycles, where a hydraulic or pneumatic lifter with certified capacity and durability for intensive use is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Hand Lifting Tool also be used as a clamp or spacer?
Yes. By mounting the base on the opposite side of the bar compared to the standard position, the tool acts as a clamp to hold a workpiece in place during processing. With the same configuration, it can be used as a spacer when laying floating or laminate floors, maintaining a uniform expansion joint along the entire wall.
How do the two lowering levers work?
The red lever quickly lowers the load in a single movement, useful when precise control of the descent is not necessary. The grey lever allows for gradual and controlled lowering, suitable for millimetric positioning of doors, kitchen fronts, or slabs in situations where a sudden drop could risk damaging the workpiece or the support surface.
Is the 90° swivel plate also used for non-horizontal surfaces?
The rotation in 90° increments is designed to adapt the plate's orientation for access in tight spaces, for example, between furniture and a wall or under a panel in an oblique position. It is not a continuous rotation: the plate locks in four positions at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.
What is the minimum weight that can be lifted with the Hand Lifting Tool?
The manufacturer does not specify a minimum weight. The stroke starts from a minimum height of 7.5 mm, so the tool can also be used for small level adjustments on light loads. The nylon and carbon steel structure ensures stability even with reduced loads thanks to the 135×93 mm wide base.
Can the Hand Lifting Tool be used on ceramic or parquet surfaces without damaging them?
The 4.5 mm thick carbon steel base is designed for stability on rigid surfaces. For delicate surfaces such as parquet or glazed ceramic, it is recommended to place a sheet of felt or rubber under the base to avoid scratches. The manufacturer does not provide protective pads as standard equipment.
