Overview

The KUPO RC-250 is a 250 kg D8 Plus chain hoist with Direct Control and no Micro Switch Positioning (MSP). It follows the RC-250LV lifting platform while changing the control setup from Low Voltage control to a simpler direct-control workflow.

Why It Matters

This version is for rigs that need the same core hoist capacity and lifting behavior as RC-250LV, but do not need a low-voltage control circuit or MSP travel-limit blocks. The result is a clean Direct Control model with IP 55 protection.

Key Features

• 250 kg WLL and 4 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.8 m/min at 60 Hz lifting speed match the intended RIGPRO D8 Plus hoist class.
• Grade 80, 4.0 x 12 mm, EN 818-7 compliant load chain gives the hoist the correct chain size and strength specification for its drive system.
• Direct Control keeps the control setup straightforward for crews that do not need a low-voltage control circuit.
• No Micro Switch Positioning (MSP), with protection rating listed as IP 55.

Performance & Safety

RC-250 keeps the core lifting package from RC-250LV, but changes the control type to Direct Control and removes MSP from the product specification.

• WLL: 250 kg.
• Lift speed: 4 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.8 m/min at 60 Hz.
• Motor: 0.20 kW x 4P.

Applications

Use for entertainment rigging, touring truss systems, lighting grids, line arrays, scenic elements, broadcast stages, venue installs, and controlled overhead lifting where the hoist rating and direct-control type match the rig plan.

Compatibility

Use with compatible direct-control hoist power cabling for 250 kg D8 Plus hoists.
