Pro-source PSHSZ-0.5K-20 Hand Chain Hoist 1000 Lb 20 Ft

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHSZ-0.5K-20 is a manual hand chain hoist rated for 1000 pounds of lifting capacity with a 20-foot lift height. It operates without electricity, relying on a hand-pulled chain loop to raise and lower loads through a mechanical gear reduction system. The unit requires 50 pounds of lever force to operate and features a single strand of load chain. At 35 pounds, it is a portable, self-contained lifting solution suited for maintenance crews, millwrights, riggers, and general industrial service technicians who need dependable manual hoisting in locations where powered equipment is unavailable or impractical.

This hoist is used in industrial maintenance, assembly, and rigging applications where loads up to 1000 pounds need to be raised, lowered, or suspended manually. Typical install scenarios include overhead beam mounting in workshops, warehouses, and equipment rooms. The 20-foot lift height accommodates most standard bay heights. With a minimum headroom requirement of 13.625 inches, it fits in relatively tight overhead clearances, making it practical for confined or low-ceiling work areas.

Key Features

• 1000 lb rated lifting capacity for medium-duty manual hoisting
• 20-foot lift height accommodates standard industrial bay clearances
• 50 lb lever force required to raise rated load - operable by a single technician
• Single strand load chain configuration for straightforward rigging setup
• Minimum headroom of 13.625 inches fits low-clearance overhead installations
• No electrical power required - fully manual operation suitable for remote or unpowered locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style manual hand chain hoist suitable for overhead lifting applications where a 1000 lb capacity, 20-foot lift, single-chain unit is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified riggers or maintenance technicians familiar with overhead lifting equipment and applicable ASME B30.16 standards for overhead hoists. Before mounting, verify that the overhead support structure - such as an I-beam, trolley, or fixed anchor point - is rated to handle the hoist weight plus the full intended load with an appropriate safety factor. Inspect the hook latch, load chain, and brake mechanism before each use. Never exceed the rated 1000 lb working load limit.
