Ingersoll Rand LC2A180TIX1C-E
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A180TIX1C-E Liftchain Xtrem Air Hoist is an 18-ton pneumatic chain hoist engineered for severe and harsh industrial environments where dependable lifting, precise load control, and rugged construction are required.
Designed as part of the Ingersoll Rand Liftchain Xtrem Series, this model combines an 18 metric ton rated lifting capacity with a three-fall load chain arrangement and a high-torque 6 hp gear-type air motor.
The LC2A180TIX1C-E incorporates a rugged and compact modular design, a patented integrated stainless-steel air filter cartridge, and an adjustable lubrication system. These features help support reliable pneumatic operation in demanding industrial environments.
A progressive variable-speed pull cord control allows the operator to control load movement precisely. The hoist also incorporates an automatic fail-safe disc brake, integrated overload protection, heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers, and a zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain for enhanced corrosion resistance.
The standard configuration provides a minimum headroom of 1,064 mm and operates within an air pressure range of 4 to 7 bar. With its severe-environment design, the Liftchain Xtrem platform is particularly suited for shipyards and other demanding industrial lifting applications.

Severe Environment Construction
The Liftchain Xtrem Series is purpose-engineered for harsh operating environments where durability and corrosion resistance are important considerations.
The LC2A180TIX1C-E includes a patented stainless-steel integrated air filter cartridge and an adjustable air lubrication system with flow control and an oil-level sight glass.
A zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain provides enhanced corrosion resistance, while heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers help absorb shock at the limits of travel. The hoist also incorporates a shock-resistant air exhaust muffler.
The automatic fail-safe disc brake is fully enclosed and requires no brake adjustment. A swivel top hook is included in the standard configuration, and lifting lugs are incorporated to facilitate handling and installation of the hoist.
The operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C, allowing the unit to be considered for a broad range of demanding industrial environments.
Safety and Hazardous Area Features
The LC2A180TIX1C-E incorporates integrated overload protection and an automatic fail-safe disc brake to support safe load handling.
Each hoist is individually load tested before shipment. The standard configuration carries CE marking and is compliant with the European Machinery Directive. A dead-man pull cord control system is included.
The standard version is suitable for ATEX Zone 2 applications. For installations requiring additional spark resistance, an optional T1 package is available for ATEX Zone 1 applications.
The hoist has a 100% duty rating and a design factor of 5:1 on primary load components. Final hazardous-area suitability should always be confirmed against the required site classification before ordering.
Configuration and Available Options
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A180TIX1C-E can be configured with additional options based on the operating environment and project requirements.
Available factory 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 identify the required lifting height, available air pressure and flow, operating environment, hazardous-area classification, mounting arrangement, control requirements, paint system, and any required third-party certification.
JJC Global Group LLC can assist customers with requesting current pricing, availability, lead time, and the appropriate Ingersoll Rand Liftchain Xtrem configuration for their application.
Application Selection
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A180TIX1C-E should be selected according to the specific lifting requirements of each installation. Factors such as required capacity, lifting height, available air pressure, duty cycle, environmental conditions, hazardous-area classification, and suspension arrangement should be confirmed before ordering. For severe-duty applications, additional corrosion protection, special paint systems, certification requirements, and witness testing can be specified as part of the final hoist configuration.
