Product Description
Overview
The KUPO 483BT is the black version of KUPOs three-section wind-up stand with auto self-locking protection, built for raising heavy lighting loads with controlled mechanical lift. Its geared column moves two risers together, gains 4.4 cm per handle turn, and supports 30 kg up to 380 cm while staying visually subdued on stage.
Why It Matters
Wind-up stands are bought for the moment when muscle alone is the wrong tool. The 483BT lets one operator lift a serious fixture package with a crank, while the self-locking system, auto safety pin, safety cable, and leveling leg add layers of control around the load.
Key Features
- Geared wind-up column raises two risers simultaneously for smoother heavy-fixture elevation
- Auto self-locking device helps prevent an unexpected drop if the lock is released or disturbed
- Auto-inserting safety pin and safety cable add redundant protection during lift and retrieval
- Black finish keeps the stand less visible in theater, broadcast, and camera-facing positions
- 28 mm receiver with 16 mm stud accepts both junior and baby mounting hardware
Height Range & Reach
The 483BT provides high working reach with mechanical lift. It is built for heavy fixtures that need to move from operator height to overhead positions without hand-lifting the full load.

- Maximum height: 380 cm (149.7")
- Closed / transport length: 181 cm (71.3") reference
- Sections: 3 sections, 2 simultaneous risers
- Base footprint: 128 cm (50.4")
- Max payload: 30 kg (66.1 lb); stand weight 22.8 kg (50.2 lb)
Additional Technical Notes
- Safety: Auto self-locking device, auto safety pin, safety cable, leveling leg

Applications
Built for theaters, studios, concert floor packages, broadcast stages, and rental houses lifting heavy luminaires, large soft sources, or overhead effects where a crank stand is safer than hand raising.
Compatibility
The top fitting combines a 28 mm receiver and 16 mm stud. The base accepts the optional KC-100 caster set with M10 attachment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can 483BT be operated by one person?
The wind-up mechanism is designed for controlled single-operator lifting, but heavy fixtures still deserve a spotter. Keep the load centered and raise the stand deliberately.
What protects the load if something is released too quickly?
The stand combines an auto self-locking device with an auto safety pin and safety cable. Those features do not replace proper handling, but they add useful layers of control.
Will the 28 mm receiver with 16 mm stud fit both baby and junior hardware?
Yes. The top fitting gives crews both common mounting paths, which reduces adapter changes on mixed lighting packages.
