Ingersoll Rand ML250K-2C21-C6U MLK Series Air Chain Hoist | 1/4 Ton Capacity | 21 ft Lift | 6 ft Drop | Steel Snap Hook | Pendent Control

Designed for dependable overhead lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and material handling applications, the Ingersoll Rand ML250K-2C21-C6U Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/4 Ton (550 lb / 250 kg) capacity with a 21 ft lift and 6 ft pendent drop for efficient load handling. Part of the MLK Series, this pneumatic chain hoist features a six-vane air motor engineered for continuous 100% duty-cycle operation, delivering reliable lifting performance throughout demanding industrial shifts. The responsive 2-button pendent control enables smooth and accurate load positioning, while the steel snap hook with safety latch provides secure load engagement.

Engineered for reliable industrial service, the ML250K-2C21-C6U features a spring-engaged, air-release non-asbestos disc brake that automatically secures suspended loads whenever the controls are released. Upper and lower limit stops help prevent excessive chain travel, while the compact hook-mounted configuration minimizes installation headroom requirements. An integrated fabric chain container keeps excess load chain organized during operation, making this hoist well suited for production facilities, maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and industrial assembly workstations.
