Harrington ES005S 1/2 Ton Electric Chain Hoist

1,000 lb Capacity | 26 FPM Precision Speed | Serial #173532

This Harrington ES005S is a classic industrial workhorse. Built with Japanese precision and Harrington’s legendary "over-engineered" components, this 1/2-ton hoist is ready for another 20 years of service. Featuring a controlled 26 FPM lifting speed, this unit is ideal for applications where load positioning is more critical than raw cycle speed. The purely mechanical Pull-Rotor Brake ensures instant stop-and-hold power without the complexity or failure points of modern electromagnetic brakes.

Key Selling Features

• Legacy Reliability: Manufactured during Harrington’s peak "bulletproof" era; these units are famous for being fully rebuildable with readily available parts.
• Precision Handling: The 26 FPM motor allows for exceptional control when setting heavy parts onto fixtures or assembly lines.
• Low Headroom Design: Die-cast aluminum body provides a compact profile, maximizing your vertical lift in shops with limited ceiling height.
• Heavy Duty Rating: H4 industrial duty classification means this hoist can handle high-frequency use without the overheating issues common in consumer-grade hoists.

Given the 26 FPM speed and the serial number 173532, your Harrington ES005S was most likely manufactured in 1997 or 1998.

The "ES" series was the high-speed predecessor to the "ER" series. In the late 1990s, the 1/2-ton models featured the 26 FPM motor configuration. By the early 2000s, Harrington transitioned the 1/2-ton series to the 32 FPM or 29 FPM motor as standard.

The ES3B-114 designation identifies this as a "Generation 3" unit, which was the peak of Harrington's Japanese-manufactured production for the North American market. These units are highly regarded today because they are simpler to maintain than the modern "NER" series which uses more electronic safety monitoring.
