Designed for continuous lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, fabrication, and material handling operations, the Ingersoll Rand 11118995 MLK Series Air Chain Hoist delivers a 1 Ton (2,200 lb) lifting capacity with a 15 ft lift and 10 ft pendant control drop. This model, ML1000K-2C15-C10U, is powered by compressed air and utilizes a pilot pendent control (a suspended hand control that provides smooth, precise load positioning), making it well suited for repetitive lifting tasks that demand consistent operator control.
Built on the proven MLK Series platform, this air chain hoist is engineered for continuous-duty industrial service with interchangeable internal components that simplify maintenance and minimize downtime. A 100% duty cycle, self-adjusting air-operated disc brake, enclosed planetary gearing, and anti-friction bearings work together to deliver dependable lifting performance. The hook-mounted suspension and steel snap hook provide versatile installation for a broad range of overhead lifting applications.
