Kinesys converted Lodestar® combines the lifting mechanism design of a CM chain hoist, with the Kinesys elevation1+ control for variable speed chain hoist.

All Kinesys converted Lodestar® are fitted with double brakes, limit switches, encoder and – in conjunction with LibraCELL – they can reach conformity with many of the worlds most restrictive safety standards.

Kinesys converted Lodestar® are available in US, China and European voltage variants.

– Weight of hoist with 26HOL = 100.34kg

The Elevation1+ removes the need for large quantities of cabling and permits a number of motors and controllers to be supplied by single power and data cables.

Elevation1+ together with customised versions of the most popular models of chain hoist, such as Lodestar, Liftket and GIS, represents the most flexible and reliable variable speed ‘open system’ available in the market.

Easy to install, simple to configure and with an ergonomic and compact design, it has the ability to ramp start, ramp stop, position and vary the speed of a chain hoist for maximum creative effect.

With the addition of a simple adapter cable, the converted motors can be used as standard fixed speed chain hoists allowing maximum flexibility of motor use.

The Elevation1+ can be controlled by K2 or Vector software packages and interfaces with other Kinesys products for a totally integrated show control system.

Elevation1+ is available in both US and European voltage variants, with multiple fixings for hook clamps or half couplers which allow for a variety of mounting orientations.

• SAFETY: The SPIDER complies with all safety standards set forth by the Internationally recognized testing authorities, is approved by TÜV to the German Standards DIN 15560 part 46, and by UL laboratories. These standards are directly associated with the safety of suspensions systems mounted above an assembly of people.

• FLEXIBILITY: The SPIDER is made up from a double scissor arms structure and a winch unit that recess within it to obtain very compact closed dimensions of the whole machine, and consequently occupying very small studio height.

• A Patented mechanism provides a stabilization of the moving part to optimize the use of the SPIDER with Moving Lights, Cameras or un-balanced loads.

• The SPIDER is factory pre-configured for different extensions, up to 30’.

• MECHANICAL: The SPIDER can be specified for up to 30’ net extension and can carry loads up to 132 lbs (60 kg) SWL (Safe Working Load). The top part includes a flange to fit either trolleys or clamps for grid mounting. The bottom part can be either a standard 1 ⅛” spigot receiver, a 6 ½’ cross pipe or rail, or a special bracket with adjustable PAN and TILT for VIDEO PROJECTORS; CAMERAS or SPEAKERS.

• ELECTRICAL: The SPIDER can carry a maximum of 4 separate 20A circuits and DMX. In case of special application it can be equipped, on request, with most standard data cables available in the market (Audio, Video, Ethernet). The Monoblock motorized winch unit houses a 400 W motor 3 Phase 208 volt. It is available an option to fit an INVERTER at the input of the SPIDER and obtain a soft start and soft stop on the vertical movement (ideal when the suspension is used as a VIDEO CAMERA support).

• OPTIONAL FEATURES The De Sisti SPIDER offers several unique optional features: 1. Memorized Positioning Control, memorizes and recalls the position of each SPIDER and records the information into a preset. 2. DMX Up/Down and Positioning Control via a standard lighting control board or any DMX control system

DigiHoist offers digital communications, limit monitoring, load and position feedback and group halt functionality in a compact package.

At the core of the system is a digital communications link that enables multiple units to be daisy chained together. The units will automatically assign channels according to their position in the daisy chain. The high resolution displays offer comprehensive channel feedback including channel number, status and load cell information.

The digital link incorporates SIL2 emergency stop connections which eliminate the need for shorting plugs in the system. Safety features include hoist presence indication, limit monitoring, and group halting on fault conditions.*
*Not all features are available on Direct Control versions.
