Hoists from Baumgart: safe and robust
In addition to a high load capacity, safety and durability are among the most important features of a good hoist. Anyone working with heavy loads must be able to rely on flawless and safe equipment – chain hoists and lever hoists have to work reliably with lifting gear in everyday use.
Hoists are therefore subject to strict standards and regular inspections, so that crane systems, load handling attachments and slings can be used safely. In Europe, standards such as EN 13157 (for hand-operated hoists) or EN 14492-1 (for winches) apply. In Germany, all equipment must also be inspected regularly in accordance with the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV) and DGUV Regulation 54; in other countries, the respective national regulations apply.
At Baumgart heben und sichern, you will find hoists, chain hoists, lever hoists, steel winches and electric chain hoists for every application, designed to high safety standards. Our pulley blocks and lever hoists, steel and rope winches, machine jacks, chain hoists and wire rope hoists offer robust solutions for almost any load. Whether you move loads from 500 kilograms up to 20 tonnes with a pulley block or use a lever hoist for loads of up to nine tonnes: we pay attention to stable designs and offer you high-quality professional equipment. Complemented by selected accessories such as our slinging equipment and load securing straps, you get a complete system for a high level of safety and efficient work processes – ideal for use with cranes and hoists.
Durability and sustainability: convincing quality
Our hoists combine safety and professional lifting technology with functionality, ensuring a long service life. Thanks to galvanised steel and robust alloys, they withstand even demanding operating conditions. The galvanised surfaces protect against corrosion, while the high-quality components minimise wear.
Should a component wear out, we will support you with spare parts and expert service. Our hoists are therefore an investment in efficient, sustainable work processes. Take a look around our online shop for hoists and get inspired.

Our tip: if you want to buy high-quality hoists, it is worth looking at the entire range in our online shop – including chain hoists, electric chain hoists, steel winches and lever hoists, depending on the application. When using lifting gear on a crane, suitable slings and load handling attachments are decisive, so that loads are lifted with the correct load capacity and the lifting equipment matches your hoists.
Pulley blocks: powerful and versatile
With a load capacity of up to 20,000 kilograms, our pulley blocks are suitable both for industrial use and for everyday use in workshops. Their robust design and easy handling offer the flexibility and reliability you need for demanding projects. In addition, the pulley blocks from Baumgart heben und sichern feature a high-strength double housing that protects the unit from dust and water. An ergonomic rubber grip makes operation easier and the corrosion-resistant ball bearing ensures a long service life.
Lever hoists: ergonomic and robust
Our lever hoists also benefit from a maintenance-friendly design, a robust housing and an ergonomic rubber grip. With a maximum load capacity of 9,000 kilograms, the lever hoist is ideal for use in demanding environments. Thanks to the compact lever, it is also excellent for work in confined spaces without compromising load capacity or stability.
Rope pulleys: safe and powerful
For particularly heavy lifting work, we offer rope pulleys with swivel hook or shackle, which complement load handling attachments and carry loads of up to 20,000 kilograms. Their steel housing protects against impacts and wear, so they can be used reliably for years. All models meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, so you can rely on a high level of operational safety.
Hydraulic machine jacks: flexibility combined with precision
Our hydraulic machine jacks are the ideal solution for lifting heavy machines or bulky loads weighing up to 25,000 kilograms without complication. An integrated overload protection prevents damage caused by excessive pressure. In addition, the housing can be rotated through 360 degrees, which makes the machine jack extremely flexible and versatile, even in confined spaces.

Frequently asked questions about hoists
Hoists are mechanical or electrical devices used to lift, lower or position loads. They are used wherever heavy loads need to be moved safely.
A crane is a complete lifting system consisting of a supporting structure, travel unit and hoist unit. A hoist is the actual lifting device on the crane and can also be used independently.
A hoist is the generic term for devices used to lift, lower and position loads – these include chain hoists, pulley blocks and rope winches. A rope winch is specifically designed for pulling and lifting with a wire rope and is particularly suitable for horizontal or inclined pulling, whereas classic hoists such as chain hoists and pulley blocks are mainly used for vertical lifting.
Important factors are load capacity, area of use, safety standards, ambient conditions and the type of drive. The hoist should also match the existing slings and load handling attachments.
Manual hoists such as lever hoists or hand chain hoists are suitable for occasional use, precise work and locations without a power supply. Electric hoists, such as electric chain hoists, are ideal for frequent use, heavy loads or repetitive lifting operations, as they work faster and with less effort.
The load capacity must always be higher than the maximum weight of the load to be lifted. Safety margins and possible dynamic loads must always be taken into account.
Common accessories include slings, load handling attachments, chains, shackles, hooks, trolleys and controls. They extend the range of applications and increase safety. You will find a high-quality selection in our online shop.
Correct installation, regular inspections, trained personnel and compliance with all safety regulations are required. In addition, hoists must be used as intended.
For ATEX zones (potentially explosive atmospheres), specially tested and certified hoists that operate spark-free are required. They comply with the ATEX directives and are approved for potentially explosive areas.
In Germany, according to the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV) and DGUV Regulation 54, hoists must be inspected by a competent person at least once a year; in other countries, the respective national regulations apply. Depending on frequency of use and load, shorter inspection intervals may be necessary. We are happy to carry out this inspection for you through our inspection service.
