2,000 lb electric chain hoist
The Dayton 2GTD8 is a single-speed electric chain hoist rated for 2,000 lb maximum lifting capacity. It operates on 115V AC power and provides a fixed lift speed of 8 fpm with 15 ft of maximum lifting length. The hook-mounted design requires no trolley, making it suitable for stationary lifting points in workshops, garages and light industrial settings where overhead load handling is needed.
Hook-mounted installation and power needs
The unit mounts directly by its top hook to a suitable overhead support beam or structure rated for the load. It draws 10 A at the rated 115V AC supply and is driven by a 5/8 hp motor. The 22 7/16 in headroom dimension determines the minimum vertical clearance required above the load. No trolley or powered travel mechanism is included, so horizontal movement must be managed separately.
H2 duty cycle and thermal behaviour
Classified to duty rating H2, the hoist is built for infrequent, light-duty lifting rather than continuous cycling. In normal use the motor runs on standard 115V AC household or shop circuits without additional cooling provisions. The single-speed design means the motor operates at constant load during lifts, so extended runs will raise motor temperature; allow cool-down periods between heavy cycles to stay within the H2 rating.

Questions about this item
How long can the 5/8 hp motor run at full 2,000 lb load before the H2 duty cycle requires a rest period?
The H2 classification means the hoist is rated for light, intermittent service; continuous full-load lifting will trigger thermal protection and pause operation until the motor cools.
What is the steady-state current draw and noise level when the hoist lifts at 8 fpm for extended periods?
The motor pulls a constant 10 A at 115 V AC while running; expect typical industrial electric-chain-hoist noise and motor warmth during sustained lifts.
What mounting hardware and power supply must be on site before this hook-mounted unit can be used?
You need a rated overhead beam or lug with at least 22 7/16 in of headroom clearance and a 115 V AC circuit capable of delivering 10 A.
