Designed for reliable overhead lifting in manufacturing, maintenance, assembly, and material handling applications, the Ingersoll Rand ML500K-2C12-C8U Air Chain Hoist combines a 1/2 Ton (1,100 lb / 500 kg) capacity with a 12 ft lift and 8 ft pendent drop for smooth, controlled load positioning. 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 precise lifting and lowering, while the steel snap hook provides secure load attachment. The U configuration includes a fabric chain container for convenient management of excess load chain.Engineered for demanding industrial service, the ML500K-2C12-C8U 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 lifting arrangement for dependable overhead lifting performance.Type: Air Chain Hoist | Series: MLK Series | Model: ML500K-2C12-C8U | Capacity: 1/2 Ton (1,100 lb / 500 kg) | Lift: 12 ft | Pendent Drop: 8 ft | Control Type: 2-Button Pendent Control | Top Suspension: Top Hook | Bottom Hook: Steel Snap Hook | Chain Container: Fabric Chain Container | Chain Falls: 1 | Load Chain Size: 6.4 19.5 mm | Headroom: 18 in (457.2 mm) | Lifting Speed: 55 ft/min | Lowering Speed: 97 ft/min | Air Inlet: 1/4 in.
