Description
Lift Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH machinery loads that require extended chain reach with the 9-ton capacity, 20-foot chain, and overload protection. Experienced millwrights and heavy-rigging crews gain controlled positioning during plant maintenance, structural fit-up, and equipment installation, but can a long-chain lever hoist operate safely when the anchor and load path are uncertain? Its all-steel construction, zinc-coated components, sintered brake, and high-strength side plates support manual industrial lifting and tensioning within verified limits.
Model ALH-090-20-OP lists a 19,800-lb maximum load, 20-foot lift, 177.1-lb assembled weight, 14-inch depth, 8.5-inch width, and 21.5-inch height. The hoist includes quick-adjust free-spool operation, welded structural stay bolts, zinc-coated components, high-strength side plates, and a sintered brake system. Its 20-foot chain suits elevated beam connections and deep equipment bays. Confirm the current nameplate before applying a working load.
Features of Atlas ALH Hoist
Industrial maintenance, steel erection, machinery relocation, and heavy equipment alignment require extended manual chain travel without electric power. Trained riggers can use this 9-ton lever chain hoist when the anchor, hook engagement, working load limit, and load direction are verified before operation.
- 9-ton listed capacity supports heavy machinery lifting and structural alignment after rating confirmation.
- 19,800-lb maximum load is listed for compatible industrial lifting applications.
- 20-foot chain length reaches elevated beams, deep equipment bays, and remote rigging points.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before manual tensioning.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled load holding when the lever stops.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during harsh industrial exposure.
- Welded stay bolts and high-strength side plates reinforce the all-steel hoist body.
- Overload protection is listed, but its activation setting requires confirmation.
Load Test Capacity Control
No independent proof-load result, brake-holding measurement, chain elongation test, hook-throat measurement, handle-force value, temperature telemetry, or field test report was supplied. Do not treat 19,800 lbs as a proof load or ultimate load. Shock loading, side loading, corrosion, poor anchoring, and misaligned hooks can increase stress across the chain, brake, hooks, side plates, and support structure.
Rigging Limits Service
The 20-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, zinc-coated components, and overload protection support heavy industrial load positioning. This lever chain hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, operation above the marked capacity, or suspended loads over personnel.
- Inspect the load chain for stretch, twisting, corrosion, cracks, gouges, and damaged links.
- Check hooks, safety latches, brake parts, side plates, stay bolts, and anchor connections.
- Use the free-spool mechanism according to the manual and remove the hoist after abnormal braking.
Warranty Compliance Contents
The product listing states a 3-Year Limited Warranty and ASTM B30.21 compliance. Package contents identify the hoist, while included chain configuration and documentation should be confirmed. Verify current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 20-foot load chain, hooks, safety latches, and applicable OSHA requirements before commercial service.
