Built for continuous overhead lifting in manufacturing plants, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and industrial production environments, the Ingersoll Rand HL2000K-3HA40-C12S air chain hoist delivers a 2 ton (4,400 lb) lifting capacity with a 40 ft lift and 12 ft 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. Equipped with a 2 Motor Pendent control (a dual-function pendent that provides independent control of the hoist and motorized trolley), it enables precise lifting, lowering, and load positioning during production, maintenance, and assembly operations.
The HLK Series incorporates a larger chain wheel designed for 3/8-inch load chain together with 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 for smooth operation and reduced component wear, while the modular construction with interchangeable components simplifies maintenance and minimizes downtime.

Applications:
- Overhead material handling in manufacturing and production facilities with extended lifting height requirements.
- Assembly operations requiring coordinated hoist and trolley movement for precise load positioning.
- Industrial maintenance departments lifting machinery, tooling, and replacement components.
- Steel fabrication shops handling large fabricated assemblies and production equipment.
- Facilities with tall ceilings or elevated workstations requiring long lifting travel and controlled horizontal movement.
FAQs:
- Q: What is a 2 Motor Pendent?
A: A 2 Motor Pendent provides separate controls for the hoist and motorized trolley, allowing the operator to independently control lifting, lowering, and horizontal load travel. - Q: What advantage does the 40 ft lift provide?
A: The 40 ft lift allows the hoist to service tall work areas, elevated structures, and facilities requiring extended vertical lifting capability. - Q: Is this hoist suitable for continuous-duty industrial applications?
A: Yes. The HLK Series is rated for a 100% duty cycle with HMI Duty Classification A5, making it suitable for repetitive lifting operations in demanding industrial environments. - Q: Does this hoist require electrical power?
A: No. This model is powered by compressed air and is intended for use with an appropriate industrial compressed air system.
