Built for lifting and positioning light loads in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and production environments, the Ingersoll Rand CL125K-2C12-C8U Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/8 Ton (275 lb / 125 kg) capacity with a 12 ft lift and 8 ft pendent drop for efficient overhead material handling. Part of the CLK Series, this pneumatic chain hoist features a six-vane air motor that delivers a 100% duty cycle, allowing continuous operation without the overheating associated with electric hoists. Its responsive 2-button pendent control provides smooth, accurate load positioning, while the steel snap hook with safety latch ensures secure load engagement during lifting operations.
Designed for dependable industrial performance, the CL125K-2C12-C8U incorporates a spring-engaged, air-release non-asbestos disc brake that automatically holds suspended loads whenever the controls are released. Upper and lower limit stops help prevent excessive chain travel, while the compact hook-mounted configuration reduces required installation headroom. The included fabric chain container keeps excess chain organized during operation, and quiet operation below 75 dBA makes this hoist suitable for production facilities, maintenance departments, machine shops, and assembly workstations.
