Description
Align equipment loads with Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH control when compact manual lifting requires a 20-foot chain and 1-ton capacity. Experienced maintenance technicians gain portable positioning during shop repair, utility work, and light structural rigging, but can the hoist be loaded safely when the anchor and working load limit are unknown? Its all-steel construction, zinc-coated components, sintered brake, and high-strength side plates support controlled lifting and tensioning within documented limits.
Model ALH-010-20-OP lists a 2,200-lb capacity, 20-foot lift, 22-lb weight, 4-inch depth, 5-inch width, and 12-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. Published product data identifies ASTM B30.21 compliance, orange steel construction, and a 3-Year Limited Warranty.
Features of Atlas ALH Hoist
Facility maintenance, light machinery alignment, construction service, and utility work require a portable lever hoist with long chain travel. Trained operators can use this 1-ton manual chain hoist when the anchor, hook connection, load direction, and marked working load limit are confirmed.
- 1-ton capacity supports compatible maintenance equipment and light structural loads.
- 2,200-lb maximum load is listed for compatible industrial applications.
- 20-foot chain length reaches elevated connection points and deep service areas.
- Quick-adjust free-spool operation helps position chain before applying tension.
- Sintered brake construction supports controlled load holding when the lever stops.
- Zinc-coated components help protect selected surfaces during demanding jobsite exposure.
- Welded stay bolts and high-strength side plates reinforce the all-steel body.
- Overload protection helps limit excessive loading, 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 2,200 lbs as a proof load or breaking strength. Shock loading, side loading, corrosion, poor anchoring, and misaligned hooks can increase stress throughout the chain hoist and supporting structure.
Rigging Limits Service
The 20-foot chain, manual lever, free-spool adjustment, sintered brake, zinc-coated components, and overload protection support controlled load positioning in shops, facilities, and construction areas. This lever 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 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.
