BUCKET PLASTIC CHAIN 20

Product Description

The Kito Chain Container is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito ER2 Series electric chain hoists at a maximum lift height of 20 ft, identified by part number BP2-D2. The chain container — also referred to as a chain bucket or chain bag — is the plastic receptacle attached to the hoist body that collects and stores the slack load chain as it accumulates during lifting operations. A correctly sized and securely mounted chain container is essential for safe and organized hoist operation, preventing the slack chain from hanging freely below the hoist body where it could become entangled with the load, rigging hardware, or personnel working in the lift area.

As the hoist raises a load, the slack load chain feeds into the chain container in a controlled manner, and as the hoist lowers the load, the chain is drawn back out of the container and through the hoist body. The chain container must be large enough to contain the full length of slack chain generated at the maximum lift height of the hoist without overflowing or becoming jammed, and must be securely attached to the hoist body to prevent it from detaching under the weight of a full chain load. The 20 ft maximum lift specification for part number BP2-D2 confirms this container is larger than the 13 ft BP2-E2 container used on the same ER2 Series at shorter lift configurations, sized to contain the greater volume of slack chain generated at up to 20 ft of lift.

The plastic construction of this chain container provides resistance to corrosion and reduced weight compared to steel chain containers, making it well suited to the ER2 Series operating environment. The chain container is subject to cracking, deformation, and mechanical damage over its service life through the repeated impact and abrasion of the load chain feeding in and out during each lift cycle, accidental impact from loads and rigging hardware, and exposure to industrial operating environments. Conditions requiring chain container replacement include cracks or holes in the container body that allow chain to escape, deformation that prevents the chain from feeding correctly, damage to the container mounting hardware or attachment points, and any condition that compromises the container's ability to safely contain the full slack chain load at the maximum lift height.

Note: Confirm the correct chain container part number for the specific ER2 Series model and lift height with your Kito distributor before ordering. Chain container replacement should be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The hoist must be function tested before returning to service following chain container replacement.
