The Showtec 8-Channel Chain Hoist Controller is a robust direct-control motor controller designed for widely used chain hoists such as the CM Lodestar. With eight individually switchable channels, each hoist can be enabled/disabled and driven up or down independently for precise rigging control. The rear panel provides 4 x 4‑pin CEE outputs for motor feeds plus 2 x 16‑pin multipin connectors for breakout box compatibility, streamlining distribution on larger rigs. A 5‑pin 32 A CEE mains inlet handles three-phase 400 V/50 Hz power, while the 19-inch, 4U form factor integrates cleanly into touring racks and fixed installations. An emergency stop ensures essential safety on site, and the straightforward, hard-wired direct control layout suits crews who need reliable, immediate operation without complex programming. Built for professional environments, it’s ideal for festivals, theatres, arenas and corporate events requiring dependable multi-hoist control. Use it to manage up to eight direct-control hoists with confidence in live production and venue installations.
