Frequently asked questions

Common questions about KITO from 3G Electric.

What are the key specifications of the KITO H4 series theatre electric hoist?

The KITO H4 series is a line of hook-mounted electric chain hoists designed for theatre and stage rigging. They are available in single-speed configurations with operating voltages of 115V, 230V, or 460V AC. Lifting speeds include 6 fpm and 8 fpm, depending on the model. The hoists feature a headroom clearance of 28 to 30 inches and include a chain container. Maximum lifting length can be up to 60 feet. They are classified as heavy-duty and are suitable for lifting lighting, scenery, and audio equipment. The H4 series does not include a trolley; it is hook-mounted for fixed-point lifting. For specific load capacities and duty cycles, refer to the model's technical documentation.

What is the KITO E6K-WD24B transformer used for?

The KITO E6K-WD24B is a transformer rated for 24V, 50/60Hz, with a power capacity of 12VA and 48W. It is used in the control circuit of KITO electric chain hoists to provide a low-voltage control signal. This transformer is a replacement component for hoist systems that require 24V control voltage. It is essential for the safe operation of the hoist's pendant control and other electrical functions. When replacing this transformer, ensure that the hoist is disconnected from power and that the replacement matches the original specifications. 3G Electric stocks this transformer to support maintenance and repair of KITO hoists.

What voltages are available for KITO electric chain hoists?

KITO electric chain hoists, including the H4 series, are available in multiple voltage options to suit different power systems. Common voltages include 115V AC, 230V AC, and 460V AC. The voltage requirement is specified in the model number and must match the available power supply at the installation site. For example, the 830L24 model operates on 115V AC, while the 830L21 model operates on 460V AC. It is important to select the correct voltage to ensure proper operation and to comply with local electrical codes. 3G Electric can assist in identifying the appropriate voltage model for your application.

What is the maximum lifting length of KITO H4 hoists?

KITO H4 series electric chain hoists are available with maximum lifting lengths up to 60 feet, depending on the specific model. For instance, the 809UE3 and 809UE2 models have a maximum lifting length of 60 feet. The actual lifting length is determined by the amount of chain supplied with the hoist. It is important not to exceed the rated lifting length to maintain safety and performance. If a longer lift is required, consult KITO or 3G Electric for custom chain lengths and corresponding capacity ratings. Always verify the lifting length in the hoist's specifications before installation.

Are KITO H4 hoists suitable for outdoor use?

KITO H4 series hoists are designed for heavy-duty applications and are often used in theatres and stages, which are typically indoor environments. However, they may be suitable for outdoor use if protected from the elements. The hoists have enclosures that provide some degree of protection, but they are not specifically rated for outdoor weather conditions unless stated. For outdoor applications, consider additional protection or consult KITO for recommendations. It is important to review the IP rating and environmental specifications of the specific model. 3G Electric can provide guidance on selecting hoists for outdoor or harsh environments.

What is the headroom clearance for KITO H4 hoists?

KITO H4 series electric chain hoists have a headroom clearance of 28 to 30 inches, depending on the model. This dimension is the distance from the hook to the top of the hoist and is critical for determining how much vertical space is needed for installation. The low headroom design allows the hoist to be used in applications with limited overhead space, such as stage rigging. When planning an installation, ensure that the available headroom meets or exceeds the hoist's requirement. The headroom clearance is specified in the product documentation and should be considered along with the lifting height and hook mounting.
