Pro-source PSHSZ-1K-20 Hand Chain Hoist 2000 Lb 20 Ft

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHSZ-1K-20 is a manual hand chain hoist rated for 2000 lb capacity with a 20-foot lift height. It operates via a single hand chain loop, using operator pull force to drive an internal gear reduction that raises and lowers the load hook. With a lever force requirement of 79 lb to lift a rated load, it is sized for one-person operation in overhead lifting applications. The unit weighs 38.1 pounds and has a minimum headroom requirement of 15.3 inches, making it practical for installations where vertical clearance is limited. Maintenance crews, millwrights, and rigging technicians are the primary installers and operators of this hoist.

This hoist is suited for industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments where a portable overhead lifting solution is needed. Typical applications include engine removal, equipment positioning, mezzanine material handling, and maintenance bay work where a fixed electric hoist is not practical or available. The single-chain configuration keeps the load path straightforward and simplifies rigging setup. It mounts to a trolley, I-beam, or fixed overhead hook point within the minimum headroom clearance of 15.3 inches.

Key Features

• 2000 lb rated capacity with single hand chain operation
• 20-foot lift height accommodates extended vertical travel range
• 79 lb lever force required to lift a rated load, enabling one-person use
• Minimum headroom of 15.3 inches suitable for confined overhead spaces

• 36-inch chain overhauled per foot of load lift, standard for this capacity class

Compatibility

Designed as a standard manual hand chain hoist for overhead lifting applications compatible with I-beam trolleys and fixed hook mounting points that accept the unit hook fitment. Verify beam flange width and trolley compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or millwright familiar with overhead lifting equipment and applicable ASME B30.16 standards for overhead hoists. Before mounting, confirm that the supporting structure, beam, or anchor point is rated for the combined weight of the hoist and the intended load with an appropriate safety factor. Never exceed the 2000 lb rated capacity. Inspect the hand chain, load chain, and hook latches for damage before each use, and remove the hoist from service if any deformation, cracks, or wear are observed.
