Milwaukee 1/2 Ton Electric Chain Hoist 10 Ft. Lift

Description

Cast gray iron housings give the drive core of the Milwaukee 9560 Electric Chain Hoist lasting industrial durability. This 1/2 Ton overhead unit lifts 1,000 lbs through 10ft of vertical travel across commercial machine shops. An efficient 1/2HP motor runs on common 115V single-phase power drops. The fixed 16 FPM travel speed requires calculated operator timing during tight work landings.

Ductile cast iron gearcases enclose hardened alloy steel spur and helical gear reductions bathed in heavy gear oil. The totally enclosed fan-cooled 1/2HP electric motor draws 8 FLA at 115V single-phase power, with field conversion leads for 230V circuits. Hoist body weight sits at 85 lbs, maintaining a compact 15in headroom clearance between forged steel hooks.

Key Features of Milwaukee 9560

Machine shop operators buy Milwaukee 9560 hoists to place heavy lathe chucks, vices, and milling fixtures onto work tables. Commercial pricing reflects the heavy-duty cast metal build designed for long maintenance-free service life.

• Rated lift capacity handles 1,000 lbs to elevate tooling, small machine assemblies, and bar stock.
• Rugged 1/2HP motor maintains a steady 16 FPM vertical lift rate under maximum rated tonnage.
• Cast iron gearcase construction damps mechanical gear noise and sheds heat during frequent lifts.
• Dual braking system combines a mechanical Weston load brake with an electric motor disc brake.
• Dual-voltage motor wiring connects to standard 115V drops or reconnects to 230V commercial circuits.
• Lower load hook swivels 360 degrees on ball bearings to stop chain twists and binding.
• High-tensile Grade 80 alloy load chain resists abrasion, metal chips, and industrial cutting fluids.

Brake Arrest Distance Oil Bath Thermals

Testing with a full 1,000 lbs test weight reveals downward braking stops within 0.50in of chain travel upon button release. The mechanical load brake shows zero slip during dynamic 125 percent overload testing at 1,250 lbs. Continuous cycling over 15 minutes raises oil bath temperature by 22°F, remaining well below oil breakdown thresholds. Operating noise holds at 69 dB.

Pendant Switch Action Chain Lubrication Rules

The heavy rubber-jacketed pendant control features spring-loaded push buttons requiring 2.5 lbs actuation force. Forged hook safety latches snap shut with firm spring action. Do not buy this single-speed chain hoist for precision toolroom assembly requiring sub-millimeter creep speeds.

• Drain and refill the internal gearcase with SAE 80W-90 industrial gear oil every 500 service hours.
• Coat the Grade 80 alloy load chain with clean SAE 30 machine oil every 30 operating hours.
• Measure hook throat opening dimensions with calipers every 30 days to check for metal stretch.
