Because of the lever's mechanical advantage.
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
The mechanical advantage of the lever is that smaller persons can move heavier objects. The lever can be placed under the object and the person can then push down on the lever.

The mechanical advantage of a lever can be increased by moving the fulcrum towards the load and away from the power end.

Second class lever. . . . Always greater than 1 . Third class lever . . . . . Always less than 1 . First class lever . . . . . Can be greater than 1 or less than 1 depending on position of fulcrum.
Mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is used to increase distance.
