Pro-source PSHSZ-2K-15 Manual Chain Hoist 4000 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSHSZ-2K-15 is a hand chain manual hoist rated for 4,000 pounds of lifting capacity with a 15-foot lift height. It uses a load chain as the lifting medium and is operated by pulling a hand chain, requiring approximately 74 pounds of lever force to move a rated load. With a minimum headroom of 18.5 inches, this hoist is suited for confined overhead spaces where clearance between the hook and the mounting beam is limited. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically use units like this for lifting machinery, positioning equipment, and supporting loads during maintenance operations in industrial and commercial facilities.

This hoist is designed for overhead lifting applications in industrial plants, warehouses, maintenance shops, and construction environments. Its hand chain operation requires no electrical power source, making it practical for remote locations, outdoor jobsites, or facilities without nearby power. A single strand of load chain handles the lift path, and the unit hauls 74 feet of chain to raise a load 1 foot, which is consistent with the mechanical advantage built into this capacity class. It is well-suited for periodic or intermittent lifting tasks where a powered hoist is not warranted.

Key Features

• 4,000 pound rated lifting capacity for heavy equipment and machinery positioning
• 15-foot lift height accommodates standard warehouse and shop ceiling heights
• 18.5-inch minimum headroom allows use in low-clearance overhead spaces
• 74-pound lever force requirement for operating under full rated load
• Single strand load chain configuration for reliable, straightforward operation
• No electrical power required - hand chain operation works in any location

Compatibility

Designed for use as a general-purpose manual chain hoist in overhead lifting applications. Compatible with standard I-beam trolleys and fixed hook mounts sized for this capacity class. Verify beam flange width and hook clearance against your mounting hardware before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance professional familiar with overhead lifting equipment and applicable ASME B30.16 standards for overhead hoists. Before mounting, confirm that the supporting structure - beam, trolley, or fixed anchor - is rated for at least the full working load limit of the hoist. Inspect all load chain, hooks, and latches prior to each use and remove the unit from service immediately if any damage, deformation, or wear is observed. Never exceed the rated 4,000-pound capacity.
