Product Description
Overview
The KUPO 482T is a 2-section wind-up stand for crews who need crank-operated lifting without the height range of a 3-section model. Its chrome plated steel geared column raises the load at 2.2 cm per handle turn, with 55 mm and 45 mm tubes, a 28 mm receiver, one leveling leg, and a 45 kg load rating.
Why It Matters
Raising a heavier fixture by hand is slow and unforgiving. The 482T lets one operator lift and lower the load with the crank handle, while the auto self-locking device adds an important layer of control during adjustment.
Key Features
- Crank-operated geared column reduces manual lifting effort for heavier lighting loads
- Auto self-locking device helps prevent unexpected drop during stand operation
- 45 kg load rating supports substantial fixtures when used with correct ballast and rigging practice
- One leveling leg helps settle the stand before the load is raised
- Compatible with KC-100 casters and the 483-BP base plate for studio or fixed-position workflows
Height Range & Reach
The 482T focuses on controlled lift in a moderate height range, with a slower single-riser elevation rate for more deliberate adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 482T make sense over a hand-lift stand?
Use it when the fixture is heavy enough that crank operation gives better control and safer handling, especially during repeated height changes.
Does the 482T include a baby stud?
The specification lists a 28 mm receiver for this model. Use compatible junior mounting hardware or adapters as required by the fixture.
Can the stand be secured to the floor?
Yes, it is listed as compatible with the 483-BP base plate, which is used when compatible wind-up or followspot stands need to be floor-secured.
