Product Description

Overview

The KUPO CHC-6.3/19.1 is a 6.3 x 19.1 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 chain sits in the useful middle range between the 4.0 mm 250 kg chain and the 7.1 mm chain used on larger hoists. It is the right match for half-ton RIGPRO applications where the chain needs more capacity without moving to the largest hoist family.

Key Features

  • EN 818-7 compliant Type DT construction matches the baseline standard for power-driven hoist chains.
  • 50.0 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: Spring-loaded heavy-duty DC brake

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

RC-250 series and RH-500 series 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.
