Ingersoll Rand KM2000V-20-18 KM Kinetic Series Manual Hoist | 20 Ton Capacity | 20 ft Lift | 18 ft Drop | Overload Clutch

Built for heavy load handling where additional overload protection is required, the Ingersoll Rand KM2000V-20-18 KM Kinetic Series Manual Hoist provides a 20 ton capacity with a 20 ft lift, 18 ft hand chain drop, and integrated overload clutch protection. The overload clutch (a load-limiting mechanism intended to help protect against lifting beyond rated capacity) adds an extra level of load control for industrial lifting operations involving large machinery, equipment, and fabricated components.

The KM2000V-20-18 uses an 8-chain-fall configuration to achieve its rated lifting capacity and incorporates all-steel construction, full bearing support on the load sprocket and pinion shaft, and a reinforced double pawl brake system (a mechanical braking system that helps maintain load holding during lifting). The extended 20 ft lift height makes this manual chain hoist suitable for applications requiring additional vertical reach in industrial facilities, fabrication shops, and equipment installation environments.

Type: Manual Chain Hoist | Series: KM Kinetic Series | Model: KM2000V-20-18 | Capacity: 20 Ton (44,000 lb) | Lift Height: 20 ft | Hand Chain Drop: 18 ft | Chain Falls: 8 | Protection: Overload Clutch | Pull to Lift Rated Load: 79.4 lb x 2 | Housing Material: Steel

Features:

• Overload clutch helps limit operation when lifting loads beyond the rated capacity of the hoist.
• All steel construction provides a strong frame for industrial lifting applications.
• Reinforced double pawl brake system with large diameter pawl springs helps provide secure load holding.
• Full bearing construction on the load sprocket and pinion shaft helps reduce friction during lifting operation.
• Premium grade 100 electro-galvanized chain provides corrosion resistance for demanding work environments.
• Heavy duty cast hook latches help reduce replacement requirements during regular service.
• Eight chain falls distribute the load through the hoist mechanism to support the 20 ton rated capacity.

Applications:

• Industrial maintenance — lifting heavy motors, machinery components, and equipment during repair or replacement procedures.
• Manufacturing and fabrication — positioning large steel assemblies, fixtures, and production components.
• Equipment installation — manually raising and aligning oversized loads where controlled positioning is required.
• Construction and rigging work — supporting heavy material movement in locations where manual lifting equipment is preferred.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the advantage of the overload clutch on the KM2000V-20-18?
  A: The overload clutch provides load protection by helping prevent the hoist from lifting loads beyond its rated capacity.
• Q: How much weight can this manual hoist lift?
  A: The KM2000V-20-18 has a rated capacity of 20 tons, or 44,000 lb, when operated according to manufacturer specifications and proper rigging practices.
• Q: What is the difference between lift height and hand chain drop?
  A: The 20 ft lift refers to the maximum distance the load can be raised. The 18 ft hand chain drop refers to the operating chain length available for the user.
• Q: Is this model the same as the KM2000-20-18?
  A: The KM2000V-20-18 adds an overload clutch feature, while the KM2000-20-18 does not include the overload clutch designation.
