Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E Liftchain Xtrem Air Hoist is a 12-ton pneumatic chain hoist engineered for severe and demanding industrial lifting environments where rugged construction, reliable load control, and pneumatic operation are required.
Part of the Ingersoll Rand Liftchain Xtrem Series, this model combines a rated lifting capacity of 12 metric tons with a two-fall load chain arrangement and a high-torque 6 hp gear-type air motor.
The LC2A120DIX1C-E incorporates a rugged and compact modular design with an integrated stainless-steel air filter cartridge and an adjustable air lubrication system. These features help protect the pneumatic drive system and support dependable operation in harsh industrial environments.
A progressive variable-speed pull cord control provides precise operator control during lifting and lowering operations. The hoist also incorporates an automatic fail-safe disc brake, overload protection device, heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers, and zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain for enhanced corrosion resistance.
With a minimum published headroom of 946 mm and an operating pressure range of 4 to 7 bar, the LC2A120DIX1C-E provides a compact high-capacity lifting solution for shipyards, industrial plants, fabrication facilities, maintenance operations, and other severe-duty material handling applications.

Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E Performance
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E is designed to provide controlled pneumatic lifting performance for demanding 12-ton material handling applications.
At the published technical rating of 6.3 bar or 90 PSI, the hoist provides a lifting speed of 1.3 m/min at rated load. When operating without load, lifting speed increases to approximately 2.0 m/min, while lowering speed at rated load is approximately 1.4 m/min.
The high-torque gear-type air motor provides strong starting characteristics with a design intended for long service life and demanding duty cycles. Rated air consumption is approximately 5 m³/min, and the hoist uses a 1-inch BSP air inlet.
The two-fall 16 x 45 mm load chain configuration supports the 12 metric ton rated capacity while maintaining the compact modular architecture of the Liftchain Xtrem platform.
A published minimum headroom of 946 mm makes the LC2A120DIX1C-E particularly useful for installations where available vertical clearance is an important equipment-selection consideration.
Severe Environment Construction
The Liftchain Xtrem Series is purpose-engineered for severe and harsh industrial environments where corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable pneumatic performance are important.
The LC2A120DIX1C-E includes a patented integrated stainless-steel air filter cartridge and an adjustable air lubrication system with flow control and an oil-level sight glass.
Heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers provide shock absorption at the limits of travel, while a shock-resistant air exhaust muffler contributes to the durability of the pneumatic system.
The zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain provides corrosion resistance for demanding industrial conditions. The automatic fail-safe disc brake is designed to hold the load securely without requiring brake adjustment.
The standard operating temperature range extends from -20°C to +60°C, allowing the hoist to be considered for a wide range of industrial environments and operating conditions.
Safety and Hazardous Area Features
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E incorporates several integrated safety features for demanding industrial lifting operations.
An overload protection device helps protect the hoist from excessive loading, while the automatic fail-safe disc brake provides dependable load holding during operation.
Each hoist is individually load tested before shipment. The unit has a 100% duty rating and a 5:1 design factor on primary load components.
The standard configuration is suitable for ATEX Zone 2 applications. For installations requiring additional spark resistance, Ingersoll Rand offers the optional T1 spark-resistant package for ATEX Zone 1 applications.
The CE configuration complies with the European Machinery Directive and includes a dead-man pull cord control system. Final hazardous-area suitability should be verified against the classification and operating requirements of the installation before ordering.
Configuration and Available Options
The LC2A120DIX1C-E can be configured with additional factory options according to operating conditions and project requirements.
Available options include an external air regulator, marine paint system, offshore paint system, ATEX Zone 1 spark-resistant package, and factory witness testing.
Third-party witness testing can be specified for ABS, DNV or LRS requirements. Customer witness testing is also available.
When requesting a quotation, customers should provide the required lifting capacity, lift height, available air pressure and flow, operating environment, hazardous-area classification, suspension requirements, control requirements, paint system, and any required third-party certification.
JJC Global Group LLC can assist customers with requesting current pricing, lead time, availability, technical documentation, and the appropriate Ingersoll Rand Liftchain Xtrem configuration for their application.
Application Selection
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A120DIX1C-E should be selected according to the operating requirements of each installation. Required lifting height, available compressed-air capacity, duty cycle, environmental conditions, mounting arrangement, hazardous-area requirements, and load handling characteristics should all be evaluated before final equipment selection.
For severe-duty or offshore applications, additional corrosion protection, specialized paint systems, spark-resistant packages, and third-party inspection requirements can be specified as part of the final configuration.
