The most important feature is the gear ratio or mechanical advantage, which determines how much force is required to lift a load.

Ratchet pullers come in various types, including lever hoists, come-alongs, and chain hoists, each designed for specific lifting applications.

The selection depends on factors such as the load capacity, lifting height, and operating space available.

Always inspect the equipment before use, never exceed the rated load capacity, and ensure proper anchoring and lifting techniques are followed.
