Overview
The KUPO RH-2000 is a 2000 kg direct-control D8 chain hoist for heavier entertainment rigging points. It uses a 1.5 kW 2-pole motor, 7.1 x 20.2 mm Grade 80 EN 818-7 load chain in a 2-fall arrangement, IP 54 protection, and a 3 m cable with 4-pin CEE connector.
Why It Matters
This is the heavy direct-control option when the rig needs 2-ton capacity without moving to low-voltage desk control. The 2-fall chain arrangement, 62 kg hoist body, spring-loaded DC brake, and overload friction clutch make it a serious motor for larger points and slower, controlled lifts.
Key Features
- 2000 kg capacity and 4 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.8 m/min at 60 Hz lifting speed match the intended rigging workload.
- Grade 80, 7.1 x 20.2 mm, EN 818-7 compliant load chain gives the hoist the correct chain size and pitch for its lift wheel.
- Spring-loaded heavy-duty DC brake provides the primary holding action when power is removed or a fault occurs.
- Direct control keeps the controller-to-hoist path straightforward for one motor at a time keeps the operator workflow clear for this control version.
Performance & Safety
RH-2000 is the direct-control 2-ton model in this batch, using a two-fall chain path to reach the higher load capacity.

Applications
Use for entertainment rigging, touring truss systems, lighting grids, line arrays, scenic pieces, broadcast stages, venue installs, and professional overhead lifting where the hoist rating matches the rigging plan.
Compatibility
Use with compatible direct-control RIGPRO controllers and 4-pin CEE hoist cabling for 2-ton D8 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this model for direct control or central controller operation
RH-2000 is the direct-control version. Choose RH-2000LV when low-voltage controller operation is required.
How is this different from the nearest sister model
Compared with RH-2000LV, this version omits low-voltage control and uses the simpler direct-control workflow.
Can I swap to a different load chain size
No. Use the specified Grade 80 EN 818-7 load chain size for the hoist. Chain diameter, pitch, and load wheel geometry must match the hoist design.
