Ingersoll Rand LC2A250QIX1C-E 25 Ton Liftchain Xtrem Air Hoist Overview
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A250QIX1C-E Liftchain Xtrem Air Hoist is a 25-ton pneumatic chain hoist specifically engineered for severe and harsh industrial environments where durability, reliable load control, and dependable pneumatic operation are essential.
With a rated lifting capacity of 25 metric tons and four falls of load chain, the LC2A250QIX1C-E provides a high-capacity lifting solution for shipyards, heavy industrial facilities, maintenance operations, fabrication environments, and other demanding material handling applications.
The Liftchain Xtrem platform incorporates a rugged and compact modular design with a high-torque gear-type air motor, automatic fail-safe disc brake, zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain, heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers, and an integrated overload protection device.
A patented integrated stainless-steel air filter cartridge and adjustable air lubrication system help protect the pneumatic drive system and support reliable performance in challenging operating environments.
The hoist uses a corrosion-resistant pull cord control with a progressive variable-speed control valve, allowing controlled and precise lifting operation. The standard configuration also includes a swivel top hook and a ball-bearing-mounted bottom hook for easier load positioning.
The LC2A250QIX1C-E is individually load tested before shipment and is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.

Ingersoll Rand LC2A250QIX1C-E Performance
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A250QIX1C-E is designed for high-capacity lifting applications where pneumatic operation and controlled load movement are required.
At the specified operating conditions, the hoist provides a lifting speed of 0.6 m/min at rated load, a no-load lifting speed of 1.0 m/min, and a lowering speed of 0.7 m/min at rated load.
The high-torque gear-type air motor operates within a working pressure range of 4 to 7 bar. Rated air consumption is approximately 5 m³/min, and the hoist uses a 1-inch BSP air inlet.
The four-fall load chain arrangement supports the 25-ton rated lifting capacity while maintaining the compact modular design associated with the Liftchain Xtrem platform.
For installations where available vertical space is important, the LC2A250QIX1C-E provides a minimum published headroom of 1,159 mm.
Severe Environment Design
The Liftchain Xtrem Series is purpose-engineered for harsh and severe industrial environments where conventional lifting equipment may require additional protection.
The LC2A250QIX1C-E incorporates an integrated stainless-steel air filter cartridge to help protect the pneumatic system from contamination. An adjustable lubrication system includes flow control and an oil-level sight glass to support proper lubrication during operation.
Heavy-duty end-stroke bumpers provide shock absorption at the limits of travel, while a shock-resistant air exhaust muffler contributes to durable pneumatic operation.
The zinc-plated Grade 80 load chain provides increased corrosion resistance, and the fully enclosed braking system is designed to provide dependable load holding while helping protect brake components from the surrounding environment.
The standard operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C, making the hoist suitable for a broad range of demanding industrial conditions.
Safety and Hazardous Area Capability
The Ingersoll Rand LC2A250QIX1C-E incorporates several safety features for demanding industrial lifting applications.
An automatic fail-safe disc brake holds the load without requiring brake adjustment, while an integrated overload protection device helps protect the hoist from unsafe loading conditions.
The standard unit is designed for 100% duty operation and each hoist is individually load tested before shipment.
The standard configuration is suitable for ATEX Zone 2 environments. For applications requiring a higher level of 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 arrangement.
Options and Configuration
The LC2A250QIX1C-E can be configured with additional options according to the operating environment and application 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 options include ABS, DNV and LRS, while customer witness testing can also be specified.
Before ordering, customers should confirm lifting capacity, required lift height, available air pressure and flow, operating environment, hazardous-area classification, mounting requirements, control requirements, and any applicable third-party certification requirements.
