Product Description

Overview

The KUPO RC-250P is the direct-control 250 kg D8 Plus chain hoist for compact entertainment rigging points. It uses the same 4.0 x 12 mm Grade 80 EN 818-7 load chain and 0.20 kW 4-pole motor as the LV version, but keeps the control path direct through a 4-pin CEE connection.

Why It Matters

Direct control is useful when the job is small, clear, and does not require a separate low-voltage control desk. RC-250P keeps the hoist lightweight at 11.5 kg while retaining D8 Plus compliance and a friction clutch outside the load path.

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-250P is the direct-control version of the compact 250 kg D8 Plus hoist, made for simple one-hoist control from a compatible direct controller.

  • Safe working load: 250 kg.
  • Lift speed: 4 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.8 m/min at 60 Hz.

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 control type match the rig plan.

Compatibility

Use with compatible direct-control hoist controllers and 4-pin CEE cabling.

Additional Technical Notes

  • Chain Fall: 1
  • Brake: Chain hoist brake system with friction clutch outside the load path
  • Friction Clutch: Yes, located outside the load path

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right hoist if I need central motor-desk control

No. This is the direct-control version. Choose RC-250LV when a low-voltage motor-desk workflow is needed.

What is the main difference from its sister model

Compared with RC-250LV, this version is direct control and uses a simpler controller-to-hoist path.

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.
