Overview
The KUPO RC-250LV is a compact 250 kg D8 Plus chain hoist with 24 V low-voltage control for entertainment rigging systems. It uses a 0.20 kW 4-pole motor, 4.0 x 12 mm Grade 80 EN 818-7 load chain, and separate red power plus yellow control connections for controlled multi-hoist workflows.
Why It Matters
This model is for crews who need a small hoist but still want low-voltage control discipline. At 11.5 kg, it is easier to handle than larger motors, while D8 Plus compliance and a friction clutch outside the load path keep it aligned with professional rigging expectations.
Key Features
- 250 kg capacity and 4 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.8 m/min at 60 Hz lifting speed suit the intended RIGPRO hoist class.
- Grade 80, 4.0 x 12 mm, EN 818-7 compliant load chain gives the hoist the correct chain size for its drive system.
- Chain hoist brake system with friction clutch outside the load path holds the load safely when power is removed or a fault occurs.
- Friction clutch outside the load path protects the drive and operator workflow during entertainment rigging use.
Performance & Safety
RC-250LV is the low-voltage-control version of the compact 250 kg D8 Plus hoist, built for desk or controller operation rather than direct pendant control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right hoist if I need central motor-desk control
Yes. This is the low-voltage-control version intended for central control workflows.
What is the main difference from its sister model
Compared with RC-250P, this version uses low-voltage control instead of direct control.
Can I use any load chain with this hoist
No. Use the specified Grade 80 EN 818-7 load chain size for the hoist. Chain size, pitch, and hoist wheel geometry must match.
