The KH-SC 750 enters series production
After eighteen months of field trials, our heaviest self-climbing hoist is now in series production. The KH-SC 750 carries 750 kg up its own suspension wire — no motor room, no overhead machinery — and it does so quietly enough to move during a live take.
What changed from the prototype
The production unit is the result of feedback from three pilot installations. The headline changes are about reliability and serviceability rather than raw performance.
- A redesigned brake module that can be serviced without dropping the hoist from the grid.
- Quieter drive train — measured below 42 dB(A) at one metre.
- Encoder feedback for ±1 mm repeatable positioning across show presets.
“We re-rigged a live newsroom over four nights and never lost a broadcast. That's the whole point of self-climbing.”
What it means for big-grid studios
For studios running heavy LED walls and large fixtures, the 750 closes the gap between our self-climbing range and fixed chain hoists. You get the clean grid and silent travel of self-climbing, at a load that used to mean a motor room.
The KH-SC 750 is available to order now, with a typical lead time of 8–10 weeks. Talk to our engineers about your grid.
