Customer's benefit

Light
The LPML and LPL D8 Series chain motor maximum lifting capacity compares favourably to the self-weight, making it the lightest entertainment chain motor in its class worldwide. LPML250, weighing only 12 kg, lifts 500 kg. The self-weight of the LPL500 is just 23 kg, offering a lifting capacity of 1000 kg. The ideal motors for mobile use, the lower self-weight and compact size also has a positive impact on transport costs.

Compact
The electric chain motors LPML and LPL are modular in design with compact construction which is why they are perfectly suited for integration in trusses. LPML250 fits in the 300 mm square truss and LPL500 in the 400 mm square truss. Regardless of its compact size, wearing parts can be replaced in a simple manner, making it the hoist technicians’ friend as well.

Powerful
The case hardened and square profile galvanised steel chain provides around 15 % more capacity at an identical nominal diameter when compared to traditional round steel chain. 
The larger cross-sectional area reduces wear and increases the lifetime of the chain. The load hook with stable, guided hook latch and safety rubber buffer provides maximum safety.

Weather resistant
A feature of the chain motor is the protection class IP65. It is dust proof and protected against water jets. The motors is perfectly suitable for outside use, even under the most arduous conditions. On open air events and concert tours, the rigging professional will appreciate the weather resistance and reliability of these electric chain motors.
