Thanks to more than 75 years of development, the Ingersoll Rand range of high capacity chain hoists is one of the most reliable and effective ways of handling heavy goods and materials within an industrial environment. The systems available offer a number of advantages over competing alternatives, and are ideally suited to a number of different applications thanks to their ability to provide excellent performance within a relatively compact system.
The range of high capacity chain hoists offered by Ingersoll Rand has been designed with the end user in mind. The individual units are relatively compact, and can be mounted on standard roofing systems for convenience. Typically, these units offer much better performance to traditional manual lifting systems with no significant increase in the amount of space that they take up. This allows for you to get the best possible performance in a demanding environment without having to compromise on the amount of space required.
Thanks to the use of high quality components and efficient design work that Ingersoll Rand is famous for, these high capacity chain hoists are designed with reliability in mind. The rugged construction is intended to provide great performance and the ability to carry the heaviest loads without damaging the systems that control the unit. The Ingersoll Rand high capacity chain hoists feature a number of refinements to the design to protect the operation of the system over time including the inclusion of special oil bath bearings for smoothness, and easily to grease bearings throughout the rest of the construction of the unit.
One of the most important factors that must be considered when selecting equipment for any industrial application is the ease with which it can be customized to the particular roles that are require

d within your particular organization. IR High capacity chain hoists are designed with flexibility in mind. This allows them to be fitted to the particular situation where you need them, and also to be modified fully to handle the applications that are required.
One of the main advantages that a hoist of any kind has in an industrial application is that it offers true vertical lift. This offers users the ability to control the way in which they move articles and materials about and reduce the potential for damaging knocks and bangs that can occur when sideways forces are applied. The system offers accurate control that allows the user to make precise movements with confidence that the load will finish where it should.
A major concern for any application in an industrial environment is safety, and there is no time when safety is more critical than when heavy lifting is being carried out. It is vitally important for users to have confidence in the equipment that you are using, and Ingersoll Rand understand this need, and have built a number of refinements into the design. The units have great spotting ability thanks to the way in which the power can be controlled and in addition to this, the fail safe disc brakes that are build into the high capacity chain hoist are able to offer the ability to support a full load when you are moving it from one place to another, or catch it in the event of a failure. The all steel construction of the carriage and the zinc plated chain are hard wearing enough to handle the heaviest loads.
If you choose a trolley based model, it comes with a simple worm gear drive system so that you will be able to move a considerable load around with ease. This drive system is supported by safety lugs that also sweep the rails ahead of the unit as it is moved to ensure complete smoothness of operation. There are also bumpers at either end to prevent a jarring motion when you reach the end of the rail. For ease of use, all operation can be controlled through a single 4 button pendent that is simple for all operators to master very quickly.
