Designed for dependable overhead lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and material handling applications, the Ingersoll Rand ML500K-1C15-C11 Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/2-ton (1,100 lb / 500 kg) capacity with a 15-ft lift and an 11-ft control drop for precise manual load handling. Part of the MLK Series, this pneumatic chain hoist is powered by a high-performance six-vane air motor engineered for continuous 100% duty cycle operation. The manual pull chain control provides accurate load positioning without requiring a pendent valve, while the steel snap hook offers secure attachment during overhead lifting operations.
Built for demanding industrial service, the ML500K-1C15-C11 incorporates a spring-engaged, air-release non-asbestos disc brake that automatically secures suspended loads whenever the control is released. Upper and lower limit stops help prevent over-travel of the load chain, while the compact hook-mounted design minimizes required installation headroom. This configuration is supplied without a chain container and utilizes a single-fall load chain arrangement for efficient lifting performance.
