Built for lifting and positioning light loads in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and production environments, the Ingersoll Rand CL125K-2C20-C16U Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/8 Ton (275 lb / 125 kg) capacity with a 20 ft lift and 16 ft pendent drop for precise overhead material handling. As part of the CLK Series, this pneumatic chain hoist features a six-vane air motor that provides a 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for continuous operation without the overheating concerns associated with electric hoists. Its full-flow pendent control enables smooth, responsive lifting and lowering, while the steel snap hook with safety latch offers secure load attachment during routine lifting operations in industrial facilities.
Designed for dependable operation, the CL125K-2C20-C16U incorporates a spring-engaged, air-release non-asbestos disc brake that automatically holds suspended loads when the control is released. Upper and lower limit stops help prevent over-travel, while the compact hook-mounted design allows installation in areas with limited overhead space. Quiet operation below 75 dBA and durable construction make this air-powered hoist well suited for production lines, maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and assembly workstations where reliable lifting performance is essential.
