Tools and Hardware Reviews of Super-Handy Heavy-Duty 4,000 LB Capacity Rope HoistCustomer Review: 4000 LBS A JOKE Summary: 3 Stars
Cheap Chinese junk construction, but helpful, inexpensive, and worth the money in some circumstances. BUT YOU COULD BE RISKING YOU LIFE TO LIFT 4000 LBS (even 1500 lbs). As the packaging implies, it would be great for hunters hauling up a deer by the hind legs for dressing, but for anything REALLY heavy, get something better made--like maybe a chain hoist.
The rope is polyester and EXTREMELY slick and somewhat stiff. For anything of significant weight, grip is the big issue. Replacing the rope with a better one would make a much better and more usable product. The "keepers" on the hooks are cheap pot metal and immediately bent and got in the way of function.
For each foot you move a 700 lb object with the 7 to 1 ratio pulley system, you have to exert a hundred pounds of downward force and pull the rope 7 feet (actually even more force to overcome friction and rope stiffness). I used it to lift a 300 to 400 lb. stump 3 feet so a pickup truck could back under it. I barely accomplished this alone with high friction gloves and I am 6'2" and 235 lbs--the slick rope was the biggest problem and it cut into the hands due to its small diameter (around 1/4"). To get enough traction on the rope, it was necessary to rap it around my hands as I pulled in 21 feet of rope, so it was not easy to have someone else help. Good luck with anything much heavier. However, I couldn't have gotten the stump into the truck that day if I hadn't had this hoist, and I know it will come in handy for future situations. Just don't try to use it on anything beyond 1000 lbs. unless you have a winch and a death wish. Two tons lift capacity is a joke.
