JET 15-Ton Hand Chain Hoist with 20' Lift and Overload Protection - L-100 Series is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade manual chain hoist engineered by JET to perform reliably in the most demanding environments. Built around an all-steel construction philosophy, this 33,000 lb capacity hoist delivers exceptional load security, long service life, and operator safety through a combination of heat-treated components, corrosion-resistant materials, and a compact design suited for low-headroom and confined-space applications. Key Features Double sealed ball bearings support the load sheave to increase efficiency and promote smooth operation Grade 100, corrosive resistant plated load chain is a smaller, more compact link that is 20% stronger than Grade 80 load chain Heat Treated Load Plates for extended service life in harsh conditions Industrial rated alloy steel hooks rotate 360 degrees for easy rigging and slowly stretch to indicate an overload situation Intended for the harshest environments, the heat treated load plates and case hardened corrosive resistant internal parts extend the life of the hoist Secured with Allen screws and lock nuts, the cast-steel safety latches are more durable than stamped steel latches and will not bend out of compliance with lifting regulations The lightweight design and smaller body are ideal for confined areas and low headroom applications Weston style double ratchet pawl brake design splits the load to opposite sides of the ratchet gear for greater load security Specifications MPN: JT9-109100 Stock Number: 109100 Load Capacity (Tons): 15 Capacity (Lbs.): 33,000 Lift (Ft.): 20 Load Chain Dimensions (dia/mm): 9 x 27 Headroom (In.): 33-7/8 Lbs. of Pull to Lift Capacity: 81.6 Hand Chain to Lift Load 1 ft.: 594 Weight (Lbs.): 425 Country of Origin: China Prop 65: Cancer and Reproductive Harm Frequently Asked Questions How does the overload protection on this hoist work? The industrial rated alloy steel hooks are designed to slowly stretch under an overload situation, providing a visible warning indicator that the hoist is being subjected to loads beyond its rated capacity of 33,000 lbs. This helps protect both the operator and the equipment before a dangerous failure can occur. Why is Grade 100 load chain better than Grade 80? The Grade 100, corrosive resistant plated load chain used on this hoist features a smaller, more compact link design that is 20% stronger than Grade 80 load chain, delivering superior strength and improved resistance to corrosion for long-term durability in demanding environments. Is this hoist suitable for confined spaces or low-headroom applications? Yes. The lightweight design and smaller body of the JET L-100 Series hoist are specifically engineered to be ideal for confined areas and low headroom applications, with a headroom requirement of 33-7/8 inches. What makes the brake system on this hoist reliable for heavy loads? This hoist features a Weston style double ratchet pawl brake design that splits the load to opposite sides of the ratchet gear, providing greater load security and helping ensure the load is held safely and securely during lifting operations.
