OY5202 2000LBS durable Load Leveler

The OY5202 is a 2000‑lb durable load leveler designed for use with shop cranes, overhead hoists, engine hoists, and other lifting equipment to provide precise control over load orientation during lifting and placement. With a maximum working load limit of 2000 pounds, this load leveler allows operators to tilt, balance, and align heavy or awkwardly shaped loads such as engines, transmissions, machinery components, large toolboxes, and industrial equipment. Unlike a simple lifting sling or chain, the OY5202 features an adjustable mechanism that enables fine‑tuning of the center of gravity, ensuring that the load remains level or can be deliberately angled for installation or removal. This reduces the risk of damage to the load, injury to personnel, and strain on lifting equipment.
The load leveler is constructed from heavy‑duty forged steel and high‑strength alloy components, finished with a durable powder coating for resistance to rust, oil, and workshop wear. The main frame consists of an upper hook or shackle for attachment to the lifting device, a central adjustment mechanism, and two or four lower chains or straps with hooks for securing to the load. The adjustment is typically achieved via a threaded shaft and a hand wheel or a multi‑hole indexing plate, allowing the operator to shift the lifting point relative to the load’s center of gravity. This enables precise tilt control – from perfectly level to a significant angle in either direction. The total adjustment range is generous, accommodating a wide variety of load shapes and sizes.
