Product Description
Overview
The KUPO 485 is the low-base heavy-duty wind-up stand for crews who need 80 kg lifting capacity but cannot spare the floor space or working height of a taller crank stand. It uses the same heavy-duty approach as the 484, including stainless steel leg structure, chrome-plated steel columns, a 28 mm junior receiver, braked casters, and a patented auto-insert safety pin, but its working range is tuned for lower positions.
Why It Matters
A low heavy load can be more difficult to manage than a high light one. The 485 keeps the 80 kg load class in a compact 130 cm footprint, so heavy fixtures can be raised safely in studios, stages, and venue corners where a tall stand would be physically in the way.
Key Features
- Low-base geometry supports 80 kg loads in a compact 130 cm footprint for tighter stage and studio layouts
- Dual risers extend from 140.5 cm to 270 cm, matching heavy low-to-mid height work rather than maximum reach
- Automatic self-locking mechanism and patented auto-insert safety pin help keep the load controlled during crank lift
- Stainless steel U-shaped struts add stability around the base where heavy loads put the most stress
- 28 mm socket includes wind bracing holes, and optional KC-215A pneumatic wheels can be fitted when needed
Height Range & Reach
The 485 trades height for a lower working range and compact footprint. It is the stand to pick when the load is heavy but the position is not high.
- Height range: 140.5 to 270 cm (55.31 to 106")
- Closed length: 156 cm (61.4")
- Sections: 3 sections, 2 risers
- Footprint diameter: 130 cm (51.2")
- Maximum load: 80 kg (176.3 lb); self-weight 34 kg (74.96 lb)
Additional Technical Notes
- Safety: Automatic self-locking mechanism; patented auto-insert safety pin
- Construction: Stainless steel legs with chrome plated steel column
- Column Diameters: 70 mm, 60 mm, 50 mm
- Leg Diameter: 35 mm
- Optional Wheel Set: KC-215A pneumatic wheel with adapter plate, 215 mm (8"), set of three
Applications
Use it for heavy fixtures at low or mid height, studio floor positions, compact stage areas, larger soft lights, scenic supports, or locations where a full-height wind-up stand would interfere with the set.
Compatibility
Built with a 28 mm junior receiver and wind bracing bracket. Optional KC-215A pneumatic wheels fit the 484 and 485 stand family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 485 just a shorter 484?
It is the low-base version of the same heavy-duty wind-up idea, but the working range and footprint are different. Pick the 485 for heavy loads at lower heights and tighter positions.
Can it still carry 80 kg even though it is lower?
Yes. The listed loading weight is 80 kg (176.3 lb). As always, keep the load centered, lock the casters, and use proper bracing for exposed or offset setups.
Will the KC-215A pneumatic wheel kit fit this stand?
Yes. The specification lists KC-215A as the optional pneumatic wheel set for both 484 and 485 stands.
