Ingersoll Rand ML500K-2C15-B6U MLK Series Air Chain Hoist | 1/2 Ton Capacity | 15 ft Lift | 6 ft Drop | Bullard Self-Closing Hook | Pendent Control

Designed for dependable overhead lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and material handling applications, Ingersoll Rand ML500K-2C15-B6U Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/2 Ton (1,100 lb / 500 kg) rated capacity, 15 ft lift, and 6 ft pendent drop to provide smooth and accurate load positioning. As 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 ergonomic 2-button pendent control enables responsive lifting and lowering, while the Bullard self-closing bottom hook provides enhanced load security during lifting operations. The U configuration includes a fabric chain container for organized storage and management of excess load chain.

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this hoist 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 construction minimizes installation headroom. According to the Ingersoll Rand 7756 Industrial Lifting Equipment Catalog, this model utilizes a single-fall load chain configuration for dependable lifting performance.
