Jet 511500 Chain Hoist 5 Ton 15 in Lift 115/230V

Product Description

The JET 511500 is a single-phase electric chain hoist rated at 5 tons of lifting capacity with a 15-inch lift range. It operates on 115 or 230 volts and comes factory prewired for 230 volts, making it ready to connect to most shop and industrial circuits without rewiring. Designed for overhead lifting in maintenance bays, fabrication shops, warehouses, and industrial facilities, this hoist provides a reliable mechanical advantage for moving heavy loads vertically. At 256 pounds, it is a substantial unit built for sustained duty-cycle use. Installation and operation are typically handled by qualified electricians and rigging professionals.

This chain hoist is suited for commercial and light industrial applications where a single-phase power supply is available and a compact 15-inch lift is sufficient for the task. Typical scenarios include engine hoisting, equipment positioning, and material handling on production floors or in service garages. The dual-voltage capability allows flexibility when facilities transition between 115-volt and 230-volt service, though the unit ships ready for 230-volt use.

Key Features

• 5-ton rated lifting capacity for heavy-duty overhead load handling
• 15-inch lift range suitable for short-travel vertical positioning tasks
• Dual-voltage motor accepts 115 or 230 volts single phase
• Factory prewired for 230 volts for immediate installation on standard shop circuits
• Single-phase design works with common residential and light commercial electrical service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style overhead chain hoist for single-phase electrical service applications in commercial and industrial settings. Verify overhead beam capacity and trolley compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician and a certified rigging professional in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and ASME B30.16 overhead hoist standards. Disconnect and lockout all electrical power before mounting or servicing the unit. Confirm that the supporting structure, beam, or trolley is rated to exceed the maximum load plus the weight of the hoist itself. Do not exceed the rated 5-ton capacity under any operating condition.
