Pro-source PSHSZ-1K-8 Hand Chain Hoist 2000 Lb 8 Ft

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHSZ-1K-8 is a manual hand chain hoist rated for 2000 pounds of lifting capacity with an 8-foot lift height. It operates without electricity or pneumatics, relying entirely on hand chain pull to raise and lower loads. A lever force of 63 pounds at the hand chain is all that is required to lift the rated load. Minimum headroom is 14.8 inches, making it suitable for installations where overhead clearance is limited. This hoist is used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, riggers, and general industrial tradespeople for lifting, positioning, and suspending heavy loads safely.

The PSHSZ-1K-8 is well suited for light industrial and commercial applications where a reliable, portable overhead lift is needed without a power source. Typical use cases include equipment installation and removal, maintenance work on HVAC units and rooftop equipment, pipe and duct rigging, and general shop or warehouse lifting tasks. The single-chain configuration keeps operation straightforward for one-person use. The 8-foot lift range covers the majority of standard suspended-load applications in service bays, mechanical rooms, and open shop environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose manual hand chain hoist for use with compatible overhead beam trolleys, I-beam hooks, and standard rigging attachment points rated at or above 2000 pounds.

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, verify that the supporting structure, beam, or trolley is rated to handle the combined weight of the hoist and the intended load. Inspect the hook latch, load chain, and hand chain for wear or damage before each use. Never exceed the rated capacity and never use a hoist as a tie-down or load-securing device.
