Built for continuous lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, fabrication, and material handling operations, the Ingersoll Rand 47642001001 MLK Series Air Chain Hoist combines a 1 Ton (2,200 lb) lifting capacity with a 10 ft lift and 6 ft control drop to provide dependable overhead lifting in demanding industrial environments. This model, ML1000K-1C10-C6U, is powered by compressed air and features a pull chain control, allowing operators to raise and lower loads through a mechanical control chain for reliable operation where a pendant control is not required.
The MLK Series has been trusted in industrial lifting applications for more than 25 years and incorporates a modular design with interchangeable service components that simplify maintenance. A 100% duty cycle supports uninterrupted operation throughout production shifts. At the same time, the self-adjusting air-operated disc brake, enclosed planetary gearing, and anti-friction bearings help ensure smooth lifting, dependable load control, and long service life. Standard hook suspension and a durable steel snap hook provide versatile installation across a wide variety of overhead lifting applications.
