Built for continuous overhead lifting in manufacturing plants, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and industrial production environments, the Ingersoll Rand HL2000K-2C10-C6S air chain hoist delivers a 2 ton (4,400 lb) lifting capacity with a 10 ft lift and 6 ft pendent control drop. As part of the HLK Series, this pneumatic hoist operates using compressed air to provide dependable lifting performance for demanding material handling applications. The pendent control (a hand-operated air control that enables smooth lifting and lowering) allows operators to accurately position loads during assembly, maintenance, and production tasks.
The HLK Series features a larger chain wheel designed for 3/8-inch load chain and a lower gear ratio for efficient lifting of higher-capacity loads. A self-adjusting, air-operated disc brake automatically engages whenever the air supply is removed, helping maintain secure load holding throughout lifting operations. Its planetary gear system distributes lifting forces across multiple gear teeth to promote smooth performance and minimize component wear, while the modular construction with interchangeable parts simplifies servicing and helps reduce downtime.
