LTM will also show a selection of its wide range of CM Lodestar and Prostar hoists, plus other rigging equipment and accessories.
The Carbon Cub is a compact, portable, ‘plug-and-play’ mini hoist system. It is suitable for a variety of lifting applications and “is perfect for theatres, broadcast studios, museums, sporting productions, worship and retail venues,” LTM said.
It features a matt black finish with black lifting cables. It has a travel speed of 4.3m/min and can lift loads up to 125kg to a height of 7.5m.
The unit itself weighs only 41kg and comes complete with self locking helical gears. It has both right and left hand grooved drum winding preventing lateral movement, and there are limit switches and over travel protection. It is supplied with low voltage controls and remote pendant facility as standard and operates on either 400V 3 phase (50Hz) or 220V single phase (50Hz) power supplies.
The Guardian range, meanwhile, has steadily grown from the first simple 4-channel units to incorporate complex multi-channel controllers. LTM is now launching a standard range of 3 models. These are available as rack mounted, movable flight cased units or wall mounted systems for permanent installations.
LTM will also show its motor controller, “giving riggers the complete freedom to roam around a venue and operate the system without the same restrictions imposed by wired versions,” it said.
The device can be built into direct control or low voltage controlled hoists and will be “useful for situations where you need to move around the room or stage to get into position to see the motors whilst in operation,” it added.
