LTM Extends its Entertainment LP Electric Chain Hoist Series with the Addition of the LP1000 Hoist

LTM has extended its Entertainment LP Electric Chain Hoist series with the addition of the LP1000 Hoist. The LP1000 has up to 60% greater lifting capacity, the company says, with a weather resistant IP65 rating as standard -- a key feature for the theatre and live events marketplace.

With the D8 standard motor, the lifting capacity of the LP1000 is 1,600kg in one fall operation, with an equivalent smaller weight chain for the same capacity in previous versions of the hoists.

The specific requirements of the entertainment industry, such as increased capacity in one fall operation, low dead weight, low noise emission and suitability for outdoor use, have been given priority throughout the design and manufacture of the LP1000 concept.

LP1000 has a robust construction, is simple in its assembly and does not contain any sensitive electronics. All shaft-hub connections are built in a self-centering polygonal design, meaning disassembly and assembly is faster with no special tools required. Wearing parts, such as the chain or chain wheel, can be replaced within a few steps and without disassembly of the entire chain hoist.

Available with D8, D8+, or C1 specifications, three- and single-phase designs (except C1) are available. As per C1 design criteria, LP1000 has interfaces for path and load measurement.

The entire chain fall is designed with a static safety factor of at least 8:1 (ISO M5, FEM 2m), meaning wear of the components is decreased and the life cycle is extended four times, to 16,000 hours (ISO M5, FEM 2m) in comparison to the previous model at identical lifting capacity. A case-hardened and manganese phosphated profile steel chain offers a higher capacity, compared to conventional round steel chains.
