Product Description
Overview
The KUPO CB-18 is a RIGPRO chain bag sized for 25 m of 7.1 mm load chain, keeping excess hoist chain contained above the work area instead of hanging loose from the hoist body. Its rectangular metal upper frame, 1000 denier black woven fabric, reinforced bottom, and included hoist attachment hardware make it a practical safety accessory for professional overhead lifting setups.
Why It Matters
CB-18 is the everyday mid-size bag for many theatre and concert rigs. It gives enough capacity for typical 15 to 20 meter free-chain runs without jumping to the longer tour-size bags.
Key Features
- 14 x 25 cm metal upper frame keeps the bag opening shaped and easy to attach near the hoist body.
- 45 cm, 18" bag height provides capacity for 25 m of 7.1 mm load chain while respecting the 75 % bag-space guideline.
- 8 mm acrylic bottom plate and three 3.5 cm polyester bottom straps distribute chain weight across the bag base.
- Two lower drain holes help prevent rainwater buildup when the bag is used in outdoor or weather-exposed rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the bag capacity stop at 75 %
Leaving room in the bag helps the chain settle properly and reduces the chance that the hook block or load contacts the bag during operation.
Can CB-18 be used with non-RIGPRO hoists
Yes. The specification lists compatibility with all major brand chain hoists, as long as the bag size, chain size, attachment method, and operating clearance are correct.
What is included for attaching the bag
Each bag ships with 2 eyehooks rated WLL 340 kg and 2 quick-link carabiners rated WLL 997 kg for fixing the bag to the hoist body.
