CHAIN HOIST 20 TONNE MANUAL 20 LIFT 18 H

Product Description

The Ingersoll Rand Premium Series VL2 Manual Chain Hoist is a heavy-duty lifting device rated at 20 Tonne working load limit, with 20 ft of lift height, 18 ft of hand chain, and an integrated overload clutch, engineered for demanding industrial lifting applications in steel fabrication, heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, mining, and other heavy industrial environments where high-capacity manual lifting capability is required. The VL2 designation identifies this hoist within Ingersoll Rand's Premium Series manual chain hoist line, indicating the specific hoist configuration and capacity rating within the series.

At 20 Tonne working load limit, this hoist provides the mechanical advantage required to lift loads of this magnitude through manual hand chain operation while maintaining controlled and precise load positioning throughout the lift. The 20 ft lift height accommodates load pick-up from floor level and delivery to elevated work surfaces, fixtures, or crane hook positions within standard heavy industrial bay heights. The 18 ft hand chain provides the operator with sufficient reach to operate the hoist from a safe working position on the floor or from an elevated work platform without requiring the operator to be directly adjacent to the load during lifting and lowering operations.

The integrated overload clutch is a critical safety feature that prevents the hoist from lifting loads that exceed its 20 Tonne rated working load limit. When the applied load exceeds the clutch's set threshold, the clutch slips rather than transmitting the excess force through the hoist's load chain and gear train, protecting the hoist mechanism from overload damage and preventing the operator from inadvertently lifting a load beyond the hoist's rated capacity. This overload protection is particularly valuable in heavy industrial environments where load weights may be difficult to estimate accurately and the consequences of hoist overload are severe.

The Premium Series designation indicates construction to Ingersoll Rand's premium quality and performance standards, with robust internal components, precision-engineered gear trains, and reliable load brake mechanisms designed for long service life in continuous-duty heavy industrial applications. As an Ingersoll Rand product, this hoist should be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with Ingersoll Rand's specifications and applicable overhead hoist and crane safety standards including ASME B30.16.

Key Features: 20 Tonne working load limit for heavy industrial lifting applications 20 ft lift height for standard heavy industrial bay applications 18 ft hand chain for safe operator positioning during lifting and lowering Integrated overload clutch prevents lifting of loads exceeding the 20 Tonne rated capacity Ingersoll Rand Premium Series VL2 designation for premium quality and performance standards Precision-engineered gear train and reliable load brake for controlled load positioning Built to Ingersoll Rand's premium industrial hoist engineering and quality standards

Note: The supporting structure must be rated to carry the combined weight of the hoist, suspension hardware, and the maximum suspended load. The overload clutch protects the hoist mechanism but does not replace the need for accurate load weight verification prior to lifting. Specifications including load chain size, hand chain pull force, suspension configuration, compatible trolley hardware, and applicable standards compliance should be confirmed against the official Ingersoll Rand Premium Series VL2 product documentation prior to ordering. Installation and periodic inspection must be performed in accordance with Ingersoll Rand's instructions and applicable overhead hoist and crane safety standards.
