Ingersoll Rand ML1000K-2C12-B8U MLK Series Air Chain Hoist | 1 Ton Capacity | 12 ft Lift | 8 ft Drop | Bullard Self-Closing Hook | Pendent Control

Built for continuous lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, fabrication, and material handling operations, the Ingersoll Rand ML1000K-2C12-B8U MLK Series Air Chain Hoist combines a 1 Ton (2,200 lb) lifting capacity with a 12 ft lift and 8 ft pendant control drop to provide dependable overhead lifting in demanding industrial environments. Powered by compressed air, this hoist features a pilot pendent control (a suspended hand control that enables smooth and precise load positioning), allowing operators to accurately raise, lower, and position loads during repetitive lifting applications. A Bullard self-closing hook provides an added level of load retention by automatically closing after attachment.

The MLK Series has been trusted in industrial lifting applications for more than 25 years and incorporates a modular design with interchangeable service components that simplify maintenance. A 100% duty cycle supports uninterrupted operation throughout production shifts. At the same time, the self-adjusting air-operated disc brake, enclosed planetary gearing, and anti-friction bearings deliver reliable load control and smooth lifting performance. Standard hook suspension and the Bullard self-closing bottom hook provide secure load engagement across a wide variety of overhead lifting applications.
