The JET KCH Series Heavy Duty Chain Hoist is a 2,200 lb (1-ton) rated manual chain hoist designed for overhead lifting applications in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments where a higher-capacity, more robustly constructed hoist is required beyond standard duty specifications. The heavy duty classification reflects the enhanced component quality and structural integrity of the KCH relative to standard duty models, making it well suited for sustained lifting operations and more demanding use cycles in industrial shop and field environments.
With a 10-foot lifting height and a minimum between-hooks distance of 11-5/8 inches, the KCH provides adequate lift travel for the majority of industrial overhead lifting tasks. The 45 mm hook opening accommodates standard to mid-size rigging hardware including shackles, rings, and beam clamps commonly used in overhead lifting configurations. A pull force of 64 lb on the hand chain is required to lift the rated load, making this hoist operable by a single worker without excessive physical effort. The body dimensions of 6-5/16 inch width by 6-5/16 inch depth provide a compact, balanced profile appropriate for the hoist's heavy duty capacity class.
The dual pawl Weston brake provides positive load holding when the hand chain is released, preventing unintended load lowering during lifting operations. The dual pawl design adds redundancy to the load-holding mechanism, an important safety feature in overhead lifting applications where uncontrolled load descent presents a serious hazard. The combination of 2,200 lb capacity, 10-foot lift height, dual pawl Weston brake, and heavy duty construction makes the JET KCH a dependable and capable chain hoist for riggers, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial workers requiring a step up in capacity and durability from standard duty models.
