Overview
The KUPO RH-500P is a 500 kg direct-control D8 chain hoist with Micro Switch Positioning. It uses the RH-500 half-ton lifting platform, 6.3 x 19.1 mm Grade 80 load chain, 5-pocket chain sprocket, spring-loaded DC brake, and up/down rubber blocks for setting travel limits quickly on the chain.
Why It Matters
RH-500P is the right half-ton choice when crews want direct control but still need MSP. It avoids the complexity of a low-voltage desk while giving faster limit setup than the basic RH-500.
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.
- Direct control with MSP keeps operation simple while adding chain-mounted 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-500P is direct control with MSP. Choose RH-500LVP if low-voltage controller operation is needed.
How is this different from the nearest sister model
Compared with RH-500, 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.
