Description
Lift heavy machinery with Atlas Lifting and Rigging ACH chain control when a 20-ton capacity and 20-foot lift are required for deep industrial work. Experienced riggers gain extended vertical positioning during plant overhauls, bridge fabrication, and equipment relocation, but can the overhead structure support the complete hoist and load system? Its steel housing, powder-coated finish, sintered brake, rotating hooks, blue grease, and black phosphate chain support manual lifting within the verified capacity.
Model ACH-200-20 lists a 20-foot lift, 44,000-lb maximum load, 452-lb assembled weight, 25.79-inch depth, 9.06-inch width, and 45.28-inch height. One specification field identifies 40,000 lbs as capacity, so the current nameplate must control final load selection. Atlas lists ASTM B30.21 compliance, high-strength side plates, premium powder coating, a cast-steel latch, and quick hook replacement.
Features of Atlas ACH
Heavy industrial maintenance, structural installation, machinery relocation, and bridge work require long chain travel with controlled load holding. Qualified operators can use this ACH configuration after checking support structure, hooks, chain path, clearance, load balance, and working load limit.
- 20-ton listed capacity supports compatible machinery and structural assemblies.
- 44,000-lb maximum load appears in the title and listing data.
- 20-foot lift reaches high equipment bays and deep work areas.
- All-steel construction supports the hoist body during demanding service.
- Sintered braking supports controlled holding and lowering.
- 360-degree hook rotation helps align rigging connections with the load path.
- Black phosphate chain provides the listed load-chain finish.
- High-strength side plates reinforce the heavy-duty hoist structure.
Load Test Capacity Control
No independent proof-load certificate, brake-holding measurement, chain elongation test, hook-throat measurement, operating-force value, or field telemetry was supplied. Published fields show 40,000 and 44,000-lb figures, so neither should be treated as proof load or breaking strength. Shock loading, side loading, corrosion, poor anchoring, and hook misalignment can increase stress through the chain, brake, hooks, and support structure.
Rigging Limits Service
The 20-foot lift, steel body, sintered brake, rotating hooks, blue grease, and black phosphate chain support controlled industrial lifting. This chain hoist is not verified for personnel lifting, side-loaded hooks, shock loading, operation above the confirmed capacity, or suspended loads over people.
- Inspect chain links for stretch, twisting, corrosion, cracks, gouges, and damage.
- Check hooks, latches, brake components, side plates, chain guides, and anchor hardware.
- Apply approved lubricant and remove the hoist after abnormal braking or chain movement.
Warranty Compliance Contents
The product listing states a 3-Year Limited Warranty and ASTM B30.21 compliance. Package contents identify the hoist. Confirm current warranty terms, nameplate capacity, operator manual, inspection certificate, 20-foot chain, hooks, latch, and applicable OSHA requirements before commercial lifting.
