Jet 531500 Electric Chain Hoist 5 Ton 105 in Lift 230 460V

Product Description

The JET 531500 is a heavy-duty electric chain hoist rated for 5-ton (10,000-pound) lifting capacity in three-phase power applications. Designed for industrial and commercial overhead lifting, this unit operates on a dual-voltage input of 230 or 460 volts and ships prewired for 460 volts, reducing field setup time. The lift height reaches 105 inches, making it suitable for standard bay heights in manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance environments. Licensed electricians and rigging professionals handle installation and commissioning. The robust construction supports demanding lift cycles in production and maintenance settings.

This hoist is intended for use in industrial facilities requiring reliable, high-capacity overhead material handling. Typical applications include manufacturing plants, warehouses, machine shops, and maintenance bays where three-phase power is available. The prewired 460-volt configuration is common in North American industrial electrical infrastructure, allowing direct connection to existing 460-volt three-phase panels without rewiring the hoist head. It suits beam-mounted or trolley applications where consistent, repetitive lifting of heavy loads is required.

Key Features

• 5-ton rated lifting capacity for heavy industrial loads
• Three-phase motor design for consistent torque and duty-cycle performance
• Dual-voltage motor rated at 230 and 460 volts
• Factory prewired for 460 volts to simplify installation
• 105-inch lift height accommodates standard industrial bay heights
• Sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed for use in three-phase industrial overhead lifting applications where a 230 or 460-volt power supply is available. Consult the hoist mounting and trolley specifications to confirm beam flange compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and certified rigger in accordance with ASME B30.16 overhead hoist standards and applicable NEC requirements for three-phase motor circuits. De-energize and lock out the power source before making any electrical connections or mounting adjustments. Verify that the supporting beam or runway structure is rated to carry the full dynamic load before placing the hoist into service. Do not exceed the rated load capacity or use the hoist for personnel lifting.
