Ingersoll Rand KM2000-20-18 KM Kinetic Series Manual Hoist | 20 Ton Capacity | 20 ft Lift | 18 ft Drop

Built for controlled handling of extremely heavy loads in industrial environments, the Ingersoll Rand KM2000-20-18 KM Kinetic Series Manual Hoist provides a 20 ton capacity with a 20 ft lift and 18 ft hand chain drop for extended-reach lifting applications. The 8-chain-fall configuration distributes the load through multiple chain sections, allowing operators to manually raise and position large machinery, fabricated assemblies, and heavy components where powered lifting equipment is not required.

The KM2000-20-18 features all-steel construction, full bearing support for the load sprocket and pinion shaft, and a reinforced double pawl brake system (a mechanical braking design that helps maintain load control during lifting). With its extended 20 ft lift height, this KM Kinetic Series manual chain hoist is suited for plant maintenance, fabrication, equipment installation, and industrial rigging applications requiring dependable manual load movement.
