The Chainmaster D8+ Ultra\/DC: 750 kg is equipped with two independent brakes, a service brake and a safety brake. Both brakes are DC brakes. The brake works according to the fail safe principle. If the power fails, the brakes work automatically so that the load is held securely in any position. The chain hoist is equipped with a friction clutch, which serves to protect the drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

D8+ chain hoists are widely used in professional rigging to position trusses, lighting and audio components. The dual-brake configuration and D8+ classification enable controlled load movement and increased safety requirements within production environments. The Ultra\/DC series is suitable for repetitive show builds, touring and fixed installations where reliability, low-noise operation and consistent performance are essential.<\/p>\n
The Chainmaster D8+ 750 kg chain hoist is suitable for professional rigging in touring, theatre, broadcast and live productions, and can be supplied with matching motor cabling and hoist control. Based on a sketch, location description or rigging plan, the required quantities and chain lengths can be determined for the intended configuration. Where needed, Rigging Box can advise<\/a><\/strong> on setup, configuration and compatible rigging equipment.<\/p>\n A D8+ chain hoist is built with additional safety measures compared to a standard D8 hoist. While a D8 hoist is intended for safe lifting and positioning of loads (typically without overhead loads above an audience), a D8+ hoist incorporates extra features such as dual brakes and specific chain requirements. These measures allow controlled positioning and higher safety margins within professional rigging environments.<\/p>\n A 750 kg D8+ hoist is commonly used in professional rigging for medium-weight loads including truss, lighting, audio line arrays, d\u00e9cor elements and show components in concert venues, theatres, festivals, touring productions, trade shows and broadcast studios.<\/p>\n The required hoist control and cabling depend on the number of hoists and the desired operating method. Single or paired hoists can be controlled via a simple controller, while larger installations typically use multi-channel controllers with group or zone control. Cabling must match the hoist\u2019s power, control voltage and connector configuration.<\/p>\n D8+ hoists undergo periodic inspection and certification in accordance with applicable lifting and rigging standards. During inspection, components such as brakes, chain condition, housing, friction clutch and electrical functionality are examined. After approval the hoist is registered and provided with a certification status confirming suitability for use in professional productions.<\/p>\nFrequently Asked Questions about the Chainmaster D8+ 750 kg (FAQ)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
