Built for demanding overhead lifting in manufacturing facilities, fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial production environments, the Ingersoll Rand HL4500K-3HA20-C14 HLK Series Air Chain Hoist provides a 10,000 lb (4.5 metric ton) lifting capacity with a 20 ft lift and 14 ft pendant drop. Its pneumatic drive delivers dependable lifting performance using compressed air, making it well suited for continuous-duty applications where reliable load handling and precise positioning are essential.
Designed for severe-duty industrial service, the HLK Series features a planetary gear transmission for smooth power transfer and a self-adjusting, spring-applied, air-released disc brake that securely holds suspended loads whenever the air supply is interrupted. This configuration includes a steel snap hook for secure load attachment and a 2-motor pendant control that provides responsive lifting and lowering control for accurate material positioning. Modular construction with interchangeable components simplifies maintenance and helps minimize equipment downtime.
