Professional Stage Electric Chain Hoist

Our professional stage electric chain hoist is fully D8/D8+ compliant, specially engineered for overhead lifting over personnel in live events, theaters, concerts and touring rigging applications.

Equipped with a dual-redundant independent brake system, the hoist provides maximum safety with two separate load-holding mechanisms, where each single brake can fully support the rated load and instantly prevent free fall in case of transmission or brake failure. Adopting hot-forged, quenched and tempered G80 alloy steel load chain, it delivers superior fatigue resistance and stable performance under high-frequency cyclic duty, perfectly suited for repeated lifting during rehearsals and live shows.

The streamlined thick steel housing features a matte electrostatic anti-reflection finish to eliminate stage light glare and ensure flawless live camera recording, while optimized ventilation structure guarantees efficient heat dissipation for continuous heavy operation. Supporting both upright and inverted mounting, this hoist offers flexible installation for various truss and venue layouts.

✅ Suspension of stage trussing, lighting fixtures, moving lights and lighting bars

✅ Lifting audio speaker arrays, line‑array systems and subwoofers

✅ Hanging LED video walls, projection screens and stage backdrops

✅ Hoisting scenic sets, stage props and special‑effect devices

✅ Scenarios: concerts, touring events, festivals, theatre, opera, TV studios, exhibition halls, auditoriums, clubs and permanent entertainment

venues

✅Suitable for both temporary touring rigging and fixed permanent overhead installations

Main Body Shell & Casing

Featuring a compact streamlined configuration, the stage electric chain hoist is fitted with a rigid enclosure constructed from thick high‑strength steel plate. A matte black electrostatic anti‑reflection finish reduces stray stage‑light reflection, avoiding interference with lighting layouts and live video recording.

 

This heavy‑duty housing protects key internal assemblies from dust penetration and mechanical impact arising from touring transport and field installation. Optimised ventilation structures achieve efficient thermal management, allowing continuous high‑frequency lifting performance under heavy cyclic duty conditions. Custom housing colour schemes and logo marking can be provided to meet custom branding needs of equipment rental operators.

 

 

Independent dual brake assembly 

The hoist is supplied with a dual‑redundant braking system conforming to D8/D8+ fundamental safety specifications for entertainment rigging.

 

The primary electromagnetic brake fitted to the motor serves as the normal load‑holding device. The secondary mechanical safety brake functions independently of the motor brake, gearbox and drivetrain friction. In the event of primary brake or transmission failure, it activates instantaneously to stop load free fall.

This design addresses major safety concerns associated with lifting loads above persons. Each brake is rated to carry the full nominal load individually. Factory performance tests are conducted on both brakes for every hoist, and test records can be furnished for site inspection and certification purposes.

G80 Heat Treated Alloy Load Chain

The hoist is equipped with G80 alloy steel load chain designated for entertainment lifting duties. Each chain link is hot-forged, quenched and tempered to secure stable mechanical properties.

 

High fatigue strength enables reliable operation under heavy cyclic loading encountered in temporary stage rigging, where frequent lifting occurs during rehearsals and performances. Strict dimensional tolerances ensure smooth motion within the chain guide and lower wear rates.

 

Anti-corrosion surface finishing provides rust protection during shipment and storage, suitable for rental equipment pools. The chain fulfils the safety factor criteria of D8/D8+ for overhead lifting over persons. Material test documentation may be provided for third‑party testing or venue compliance checks.

Hangzhou New Vision Trading Co., Ltd., based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, engages in the supply and international distribution of lifting equipment. Working in partnership with accredited production plants, the company provides electric chain hoists for entertainment rigging, wire rope hoists and warehouse material‑handling products.

The stage hoist range is engineered to satisfy D8/D8+ safety requirements for overhead lifting applications. Mandatory factory performance tests are carried out on braking systems, load chains and structural assemblies. Material test reports and compliance documentation can be furnished for site inspection and third‑party certification.

Customisation options include housing finish, logo engraving, electrical configuration and bespoke specifications. The company maintains export operations to multiple international regions and offers technical support for overseas clients.

Q1: What certifications and test documents can you supply for venue inspections?

A1: We provide factory test reports, material certificates for G80 chain and brake test records. Relevant compliance documentation is available upon request for venue audits and third‑party safety assessments.

Q2: Can you customise housing colours and print our company logo?

A2: Yes. Custom casing colours and logo marking services are offered. This is a popular option for rental fleets wishing to brand their equipment inventory.

Q3: What voltage options are available for international touring?

A3: Multiple voltage configurations can be supplied to match different regional power grids, including 110V, 208V, 230V, 400V three‑phase. Please specify your local standard when placing orders.

Q4: What is the IP rating of this stage hoist?

A4: The electrical assembly carries an IP54 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and splashing water. It suits indoor venues and covered outdoor stages, though prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

Q5: How noisy is the hoist during lifting operations?

A5: Precision‑machined gears and optimised motor assembly keep operational noise relatively low. It meets typical acoustic requirements for live events and will not cause excessive interference with on‑stage audio.

Q6: Can we overrun the hoist slightly beyond its rated capacity?

A6: Overloading is strictly prohibited. D8/D8+ rigging rules require working strictly within the rated load. Overloading will compromise safety and invalidate warranty coverage.

Q7: What regular maintenance is required for rental‑fleet hoists?

A7: Periodic inspections include chain lubrication, brake function checks, fastener tightening and wear measurement of chain and chain guide. We supply recommended maintenance checklists for rental operators.
