D8Plus Electric Chain Hoist for Rigging
Increased safety, flexibility and efficient rigging for complex loads are the main features of this D8Plus chain hoist. CHAINMASTER first presented the concept to the Berufsgenossenschaft (Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance and Prevention in the Event Industry) many years ago, and in 2004 a working group run by VPLT, the Association of Event Technology Companies, published the industry code of practice SR2.0 based on CHAINMASTER’s innovation. The incorporation of a second brake and C1-standard safety features into BGV D8 chain hoists resulted in a product that does without additional load securing. Sales show that the market clearly approves of the concept, not just in Germany and Europe, but all over the world.
PSRIG:s “ready-to-use” package includes a pair of D8Plus Ultra 250 kg hoists housed in a robust double flight case. The package is customized with the customers preferred chain, FlipBag chain bag, chain hook, and suspension plate.
