Product Description

Overview

The KUPO CHC-4.0 is a 4.0 x 12.0 mm Grade 80 alloy load chain for RIGPRO hoists, manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy and finished in black phosphate for corrosion resistance and a low-profile entertainment look. It is an EN 818-7 Type DT chain for power-driven hoist use, with periodic embossing for traceability and identification.

Why It Matters

This is the smaller RIGPRO chain size, made for compact 250 kg and single-phase brushless-DC hoists. It keeps the hoist package lighter while still meeting the Grade 80 and EN 818-7 requirements expected in overhead entertainment rigging.

Key Features

  • EN 818-7 compliant Type DT construction matches the baseline standard for power-driven hoist chains.
  • 20.0 kN minimum breaking force supports the rated hoist families that use this chain size.
  • HV 550 minimum hardness and 12 percent minimum elongation at break support controlled lifting-chain performance.
  • Black phosphate finish helps resist corrosion and keeps the chain visually discreet in entertainment rigs.

Additional Technical Notes

  • Chain Fall: 1
  • Brake: One spring-loaded DC brake
  • Friction Clutch: Overload slipping clutch

Applications

Use as load chain for compatible RIGPRO chain hoists in entertainment rigging, touring systems, theatres, venues, broadcast studios, and professional overhead lifting applications.

Compatibility

RH-250, RH-SP24, RH-SP48 series chain hoists

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute a different chain size in the same hoist

No. Hoist load chain must match the hoist design, pocket wheel, rating, and manufacturer requirements. Use the chain size specified for that hoist family.

Why does the chain need periodic embossing

Periodic embossing supports traceability and identification, which is required by EN 818-7.

Is this chain for hand lifting or power-driven hoists

The source identifies it as an EN 818-7 Type DT chain for power-driven hoists.
