Overview
The KUPO RH-SP48 is a 480 kg single-phase brushless DC chain hoist with pendant control. It runs on AC 90-270 V single-phase power and uses the same 600 W 8-pole permanent magnet brushless DC motor platform, with slower travel of 0.63 to 1.6 m/min in slow mode and 6.3 m/min at full speed.
Why It Matters
Choose RH-SP48 when the job needs more lifting capacity than the 240 kg SP24 but still benefits from single-phase power. The pendant workflow is direct and familiar, and the slower travel speed gives better control for the heavier load class.
Key Features
- 480 kg capacity and 0.63-1.6 m/min slow, 6.3 m/min full lifting speed match the intended rigging workload.
- Grade 80, 4.0 x 12 mm, EN 818-7 compliant load chain gives the hoist the correct chain size and pitch for its lift wheel.
- Mechanical ratchet load brake provides the primary holding action when power is removed or a fault occurs.
- Pendant control keeps the operator physically tied to the hoist during movement keeps the operator workflow clear for this control version.
Performance & Safety
RH-SP48 doubles the SP24 load class to 480 kg, with slower lift speed and pendant control.

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 where a 480 kg single-phase pendant-controlled chain hoist is appropriate and the lift request defines the pendant cable length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this model for direct control or central controller operation
RH-SP48 uses pendant control, not a wireless remote.
How is this different from the nearest sister model
Compared with RH-SP24, this model doubles the load class to 480 kg and uses slower lift speeds.
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.
