PEH-STAGE Electric Chain Hoist in accordance with BGV D8 Plus

The PLANETA PEH-STAGE electric chain hoist has been developed to meet the demanding requirements of professional stage and event technology. Whether for concerts, theatre productions, stage installations or trade shows, this electric chain hoist combines reliable lifting performance, compact design and high safety standards.

With lifting capacities of up to 1,250 kg, a second safety brake for applications involving suspended loads above people in accordance with DGUV Regulation 17, and a robust construction, the PEH-STAGE provides a reliable solution for demanding lifting operations in the entertainment industry.

BGV D8plus Electric Chain Hoist – Safety for the Entertainment Industry

In professional stage and event technology, the safety of people and equipment is essential. Lifting and suspending trusses, lighting systems, loudspeakers and stage equipment requires reliable lifting technology and appropriate safety features.

The PEH-STAGE electric chain hoist in BGV D8plus configuration features a second, independently acting brake. This additional safety feature is particularly important for applications involving stationary suspended loads above people, subject to the applicable safety regulations.

An integrated slipping clutch provides overload protection and helps protect the drive mechanism against excessive loads. Versions equipped with contactor control also feature a geared limit switch to limit the lifting travel.

These features make the PEH-STAGE a suitable choice for professional applications where operational safety, reliability and precisely engineered lifting equipment are essential.

Quiet, Lightweight and Powerful – Designed for Stage Applications

Low noise levels are particularly important during theatre performances, concerts and live events. The PEH-STAGE offers exceptionally smooth operation with a sound pressure level of only 65 dB, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

Its compact and weight-optimized design simplifies transportation, installation and handling at frequently changing event locations. With a lifting capacity of 400 kg, the hoist weighs just 12 kg.

Despite its low weight, the electric chain hoist delivers impressive lifting performance. Its powerful motor enables lifting speeds of up to 32 m/min, supporting fast and efficient lifting operations during event setup and dismantling.

Robust Design for Indoor and Outdoor Events

The PEH-STAGE electric chain hoist is designed to withstand demanding operating conditions and changing environments.

Its robust die-cast aluminium housing protects internal components against mechanical stress. With an IP65 protection rating, the electric chain hoist is dust-tight and protected against water jets.

An additional cathodic dip coating (KTL coating) provides enhanced corrosion protection and improves the durability of the components.

With an operating temperature range from −15 °C to +50 °C, the PEH-STAGE is suitable for indoor venues and appropriate outdoor applications.

Low-Maintenance Design and Long Service Life

In the entertainment industry, lifting equipment is frequently transported, installed and operated under changing conditions. For this reason, the PEH-STAGE has been designed with a particular focus on durability, low wear and easy maintenance.

Its permanently lubricated gearbox reduces routine lubrication requirements, while the modular construction simplifies maintenance and servicing.

Designed for 1,600 operating hours at a 40% duty cycle, the PEH-STAGE provides a durable solution for professional stage and event applications.

Flexible Control Options

Depending on the application, the PEH-STAGE electric chain hoist is available with either direct control or contactor control.

These control options allow the hoist to be integrated into different stage and event technology installations. Versions with contactor control include a geared limit switch for limiting lifting travel.

This flexibility makes it possible to select a suitable configuration for various lifting and positioning requirements in professional entertainment applications.

Typical Applications of the PEH-STAGE Electric Chain Hoist
