Designed for dependable overhead lifting in corrosive or harsh operating environments, the Ingersoll Rand ML500KR-3HAR35-R13 Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/2 Ton (1,100 lb / 500 kg) capacity with a 35 ft lift and 13 ft control drop for extended-reach material 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. Equipped with a 2 Motor Pendent Control, this model provides independent operation of both the hoist and a motorized trolley for accurate vertical lifting and horizontal load travel. A bronze snap hook provides secure load engagement for applications where corrosion-resistant hook components are preferred.
Engineered for reliable industrial service, the ML500KR-3HAR35-R13 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. Supplied without a chain container, this hoist is well suited for marine facilities, processing plants, maintenance departments, and industrial applications requiring powered lifting, powered trolley travel, and corrosion-resistant hook components.
