As probably the leading manufacturer of air powered tools in the world, Ingersoll Rand has developed a reputation for quality and consistency with their huge range of products that is hard to beat.  The brand has become the first choice in terms of supplying air tools to professional mechanics and engineers in the world, and thanks to the quality of tools that they produce coupled with the excellent value for money, there are very few professional workshops and industrial facilities in the world that do not have at least one IR Tool.  Although their core products remain the impact wrenches and other hand held tools that made the name of the company, they have managed to invest the experience and knowledge that they have gained in producing these smaller tools into much larger items such as the range of Ingersoll Rand air hoists, which offer high power lifting gear for use in a variety of situations.

Ingersoll Rand air hoists offer users the power and flexibility that is required in a modern industrial environment, and are amongst the most powerful lifting tools available.  The company has used all of their experience and research into utilizing the power of compressed air into creating a range of Ingersoll Rand air hoists that are designed for the heaviest jobs, yet which are extremely easy to use, highly reliable, and simple to manage, whatever your material handling needs.

The company offers what is probably the largest range of lifting gear available anywhere, and Ingersoll Rand air hoists come in a variety of different configurations with lifting capacities of between 330lb and 6 metric tons – a huge amount.  Designed for use in a range of different situations from workshops and garages through to industrial scale factories, each of the Ingersoll Rand air hoists that are available from the company feature the same high quality construction and reliability that you can trust.

The most popular series of Ingersoll Rand Air hoists are the HLK and MLK ranges.  These come in a wide verity of capacities from ¼ through to 6 tons, and are built to survive in environments that would cripple electric powered versions.  Thanks to the use of air power, the motors are highly efficient lifting machines that are able to raise huge weights with ease, and without the danger of overheating that you can get with conventional motors.  The high pressure air also keeps the motor free from debris and running clean.

Using air power such as in the HLK and MLK series of Ingersoll Rand air hoists means that you get the greater torque and better efficiency that you would expect from this kind of power source, and by combining this with a planetary gearing system, the units create high levels of lifting ability that does not overload the motor.
