Pro-source PSHSZ-2K-10 Manual Chain Hoist 4000 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHSZ-2K-10 is a hand-operated chain hoist rated for 4,000 pounds of lifting capacity with a 10-foot lift height. It uses a single strand of hand chain to raise and lower loads, making it a practical solution for shops, warehouses, and job sites where a powered hoist is not available or practical. The hoist requires 74 pounds of lever force to operate and features a minimum headroom of 18.5 inches, allowing installation in tight overhead clearances. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and general contractors typically specify and install this type of equipment for material handling tasks.

This manual chain hoist suits residential and light commercial applications where overhead lifting is required without a power source. Typical install scenarios include steel erection, equipment positioning, and load control in confined bays or low-clearance areas. The 10-foot lift height covers standard single-story ceiling heights and most mezzanine applications. With a single load chain strand and a compact footprint, it is well suited for portable or semi-permanent rigging setups where simplicity and reliability are priorities.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use manual chain hoist for standard overhead beam and trolley mounting applications rated for the corresponding load capacity.

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. Always verify that the overhead support structure, beam, or trolley is rated to handle the combined weight of the hoist and the maximum intended load before suspending the unit. Inspect all chain links, hooks, and latches for wear or damage prior to each use. Never exceed the rated load capacity of the hoist.
