Built for large-scale material handling where manual lifting control is required, the Ingersoll Rand KM2000-10-8 KM Kinetic Series Manual Hoist provides a 20 ton capacity with a 10 ft lift and 8 ft hand chain drop for positioning heavy loads in industrial environments. The 8-chain-fall configuration helps support the rated load capacity, while the all-steel construction, grade 100 electro-galvanized chain, and bearing-supported load sprocket and pinion shaft provide controlled lifting performance for demanding applications.
The KM2000-10-8 features a reinforced double pawl brake system (a mechanical braking design that helps hold suspended loads securely) and full bearing construction to reduce chain pull effort during operation. With a rated load pull requirement of 79.4 lb x 2 and an 8-chain-fall design, this manual chain hoist is suited for heavy equipment handling, fabrication, maintenance, and industrial lifting operations where reliable manual load movement is required.

Applications:
- Heavy equipment maintenance — positioning large machinery components, assemblies, and replacement parts during service work.
- Industrial fabrication and manufacturing — lifting heavy steel structures, fixtures, and fabricated components in production environments.
- Plant maintenance and MRO — handling oversized equipment during installation, repair, and relocation tasks.
- Construction and rigging operations — supporting controlled manual lifting where powered hoists are not required or available.
FAQs:
- Q: What does the 20 ton capacity rating mean?
A: The KM2000-10-8 is rated to lift loads up to 44,000 lb when used according to manufacturer specifications and proper rigging practices. - Q: What is the difference between lift height and hand chain drop?
A: The 10 ft lift refers to the vertical distance the load can be raised. The 8 ft hand chain drop refers to the length of operating chain used by the operator to lift and lower the load. - Q: How many chain falls does the KM2000-10-8 use?
A: This model uses 8 chain falls to achieve its 20 ton lifting capacity. - Q: Is this a lever hoist or a hand chain hoist?
A: The KM2000-10-8 is a manual hand chain hoist from the KM Kinetic Series, operated by pulling the hand chain rather than using a ratchet lever mechanism.
