Product Description
Overview
The KUPO 483T is a three-section chrome wind-up stand with an auto self-locking device for controlled lifting of heavy lighting loads. The geared column lifts two risers at the same time, gains 4.4 cm per handle turn, and carries 30 kg to 380 cm with a 28 mm receiver and 16 mm stud at the top.
Why It Matters
The 483T is for crews who need height and load capacity without turning every adjustment into a two-person lift. Its crank mechanism does the hard work, while the safety pin, self-locking system, safety cable, and leveling leg keep the stand disciplined around expensive fixtures.
Key Features
- Wind-up geared column raises two risers together for steady 4.4 cm elevation per handle turn
- Auto self-locking mechanism helps stop sudden load drop during adjustment
- Auto safety pin, safety cable, and fold-back crank handle add practical working safeguards
- 30 kg payload reaches 380 cm for heavy overhead lighting positions
- KC-100 caster compatibility turns the stand into a rolling studio support when needed

Applications
Use it for large studio fixtures, overhead concert looks, broadcast stage lighting, heavy soft sources, and rental packages where controlled crank elevation is part of the safety plan.
Compatibility
The top fitting combines a 28 mm receiver and 16 mm stud. The optional KC-100 caster set fits the base for rolling work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can 483T 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.
