Electric Chain Hoist 2000 lb
The Dayton 2GXH5 is an electric chain hoist rated for a maximum lifting capacity of 2,000 lb. It operates on 115V AC single-phase power with a 1 hp motor and a fixed lift speed of 16 fpm. The unit provides a maximum lifting length of 20 ft and comes in a hook-mounted configuration without a trolley. It is suited for vertical lifting tasks in workshops, maintenance bays and light industrial settings where a permanent overhead beam or structure is available.
Hook mounted installation notes
The hoist mounts directly to a suitable overhead support using its integrated top hook, eliminating the need for a separate trolley or beam clamp. Ensure the supporting structure is rated for the full 2,000 lb capacity plus dynamic loads. The unit draws 15 A at 115V AC, so verify the supply circuit and wiring can sustain this current without excessive voltage drop. Common issues include inadequate beam strength, undersized electrical supply and insufficient headroom for the 22 1/16 in unit height.
Capacity and headroom limits
The 2,000 lb rating and 20 ft of lift cover most engine, transmission and equipment handling jobs within its duty classification H3. The fixed 16 fpm speed and single-speed operation mean it is not suited for precision spotting or variable-speed control. The 22 1/16 in headroom requirement limits use in low-clearance areas. Operations requiring horizontal travel, faster cycling or capacities above 2,000 lb will need a different hoist configuration.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the hoist lifts at the rated 16 fpm after installation?
Run the unit under a known load and time a measured lift; the hook should travel the rated distance in the expected seconds at 115 V AC supply.
What components come with the 2000 lb hook-mounted hoist and what must be sourced separately?
The hoist body, 20 ft of load chain, upper hook and pendant control are included; a support beam, rigging hardware and 15 A branch circuit are not supplied.
Which duty classification and voltage version should I select for a 2000 lb, 20 ft lift on 115 V power?
Choose the H3 duty, single-speed 115 V AC model with 1 hp motor and 22 1/16 in headroom for this capacity and lift.
