Taurus lever hoist spare parts
Spare parts are available on request across the Taurus lever hoist range. Because the correct component depends on the capacity and the model, the Toco team confirms the right spares for your specific unit rather than working from a generic list. Tell us the capacity and the model code and we will confirm availability.

Repair and servicing
Toco repairs chain blocks, lever hoists and hoists in house at the Germiston head office and the Cape Town branch. A hoist is stripped and assessed, worn components are replaced, and the unit is load tested and recertified before it returns to site. Toco provides both initial and after-sales support, so a hoist bought from Toco can be maintained, repaired and recertified by the same team that supplied it.
Load testing and recertification
Lifting tackle must be re-inspected every three months under Driven Machinery Regulation 18(10)(e) of the OHS Act, and Toco recertifies hoists following inspection. Where a Performance (Load) Test Certificate is issued, it is valid for twelve months. Testing is carried out on Toco's own equipment at Germiston, with load cells SANAS calibrated to 100 tons. Full detail of the testing scope is on the Lifting Equipment Testing & Certification page.
Standards
Taurus lever hoists comply with SANS 1636, the standard covering the manufacture, design and performance testing of manually operated chain lever hoists, and run load chain complying with SANS 1592. SANS 500 governs the inspection, testing and examination of hand-operated chain blocks and lever hoists in use. Replacing worn components with the correct parts is what keeps a hoist performing to those standards.
