Ingersoll Rand KM025-15-13 Manual Chain Hoist is a compact Kinetic Series lifting solution for applications requiring controlled, hand-operated load positioning. This 1/4-ton capacity hoist is configured with 15 ft. of lift and a 13 ft. hand chain drop, providing additional lifting distance compared with shorter-lift KM025 configurations. Its single chain fall, all-steel construction, bearing-supported components, and reinforced brake system provide a practical configuration for compatible manual lifting applications.
The KM025 is rated for 550 lbs. and requires 41.8 lbs. of pull to lift the rated load. The manufacturer specifies a 0.25 lb./ft. load-chain weight and identifies the Kinetic Series as using premium Grade 100 electro-galvanized chain. The 15 ft. lift and 13 ft. hand chain drop should be considered when matching this configuration to the required lifting distance and available operating space.
