Ingersoll Rand ML500KS-1B15-B11S MLK Series Air Chain Hoist | 1/2 Ton Capacity | 15 ft Lift | 11 ft Drop | Bullard Self-Closing Hook | Pull Chain Control

Designed for dependable overhead lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and material handling applications, the Ingersoll Rand ML500KS-1B15-B11S 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 reliable manual load handling. Part of the MLK Series, this pneumatic chain hoist features a responsive pull chain control for precise lifting and lowering operations. A Bullard self-closing hook provides secure load attachment, making this model well suited for industrial environments where positive hook closure is preferred.

Engineered for continuous industrial service, the ML500KS-1B15-B11S utilizes a six-vane air motor with a spring-engaged, air-release non-asbestos disc brake that automatically secures suspended loads whenever the pull chain control is released. Upper and lower limit stops help prevent excessive chain travel, while the compact hook-mounted design minimizes required installation headroom. This configuration is supplied without a chain container and is ideal for installations where a chain bag is not required.
