BUCKET, CHAIN FOR A ED06-ED240 11-20 KIT

Product Description

The Kito Chain Bucket is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito ED Series electric chain hoists at capacity ratings from ED06 through ED240 with lift heights of 11 to 20 ft. The chain bucket — also referred to as a chain container or chain bag — is the 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 bucket 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 bucket in a controlled manner, and as the hoist lowers the load, the chain is drawn back out of the bucket and through the hoist body. The chain bucket 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 11 to 20 ft lift range specification for this chain bucket confirms it is sized to contain the volume of slack chain generated across this lift height range for the ED06 through ED240 capacity class.

The chain bucket is subject to wear, 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 bucket replacement include cracks or holes in the bucket body that allow chain to escape, deformation that prevents the chain from feeding correctly, damage to the bucket mounting hardware or attachment points, and any condition that compromises the bucket's ability to contain the full slack chain load safely.
