The hoists in Movecat’s Compact series represent a logical further development of the tried-and-tested ECO series. It was designed to satisfy the requirements of practical rigging applications, combining reliable and safe operation with a compact, lightweight format and simple, service-friendly handling.
Their principal characteristic is a well-balanced central transmission block to which the drive motor is flange-mounted directly at the side. This makes possible, in connection with the protected fan wheel, optimal heat dissipation and thereby an extended duty cycle. Thanks to the off centre modular structure, it has proved possible to optimize the design of all components to achieve an outstanding laden-to-unladen weight ratio (e.g. Compact 500-4 unladen weight only 29.9 kg incl. 18 m chain).
The compact hoists are equipped with newly developed components such as a maintenance-free brake and a friction clutch to guard against overload; these guarantee safe and reliable operation even during sustained periods of use. The patented safety friction clutch, mounted in front of the brakes, is a BG- and TÜV-approved, force- and form-fitted implementation. Further standard features include a textile chain bag, a robust carrying handle and the new, chain-sparing. Easy-Plate chain guide that offers you the choice of a standard installation position or as a climbing hoist.
The chain hoists of the Compact series are recommended for daily rigging use when setting up and dismantling stage, concert and studio sets in the touring sector as well as in theatres, studios, multi-function halls and trade fair centres – everywhere, in fact, where heavy loads need to be borne by lifting gear that is itself light and where safe solutions are required for professional applications.
