Product Description
Overview
The KUPO RH-500LVP is a 500 kg low-voltage-control D8 chain hoist with Micro Switch Positioning. It adds chain-mounted up/down rubber blocks to the RH-500LV control platform, giving crews central controller operation plus fast local travel-limit setup.
Why It Matters
This is the most feature-rich half-ton RH-500 variant. It is suited to rigs where multiple hoists are desk-controlled, but the crew also wants quick upper and lower positioning changes at the chain without opening panels or reaching inside the hoist.
Key Features
- 500 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, 6.3 x 19.1 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.
- Low-voltage control with MSP supports desk operation and quick local limit setup keeps the operator workflow clear for this control version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this model for direct control or central controller operation
RH-500LVP is designed for low-voltage controller operation with MSP.
How is this different from the nearest sister model
Compared with RH-500LV, this version adds Micro Switch Positioning.
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.
