1 Introduction
1.1 Mounting Positions
Normal position is where the hoist is mounted with load chain down and hoist body up. The load block
attaches to the load and moves up and down. The hoist body is stationary. All of the models (SM1
through SM25) when specially equipped can be mounted in the normal position.
Inverted position is where the hoist is mounted with load chain up and hoist body down. The hoist body
attaches to the load and moves up and down with the load. Hoists in the inverted position are easier to
install and setup because all the cabling is at the same level, and the hoist is at truss level. Only SM1,
SM2, SM5 or SM10 hoists when properly equipped can be mounted in the inverted position. For inverted
SM16, 20 or 25 positions, please contact the factory.
Normal position (chain down) Inverted position (chain up)
1.2 Installation Types
STAGEMAKER®concert hoists can be used in a mobile installation or a fixed installation. Careful
consideration of the installation type and the mounting position should be taken before ordering so that
the hoist can be properly equipped to meet the requirements.
Mobile installation means the hoist is used in temporary or short-term setup. Hoists used in a mobile
installation are typically mounted in the inverted position.
Some examples of mobile installations: “on-tour” concerts, ground and roof supports, exhibitions, product
presentations, and the circus.
Local safety regulations must be followed at all times. These regulations could require:
Additional safety such as a steel rope between the upper suspension point and the lower hook
point of the load or a redundant system.
De-rated capacity of the hoist
Second brake
For more advance lifting applications, use BGV-C1 Configuration D hoists providing enhanced
safety features
Fixed installation means the hoist is used in a more permanent or long-term setup. Some of examples of
fixed installations: theaters, studios, and arenas.
In fixed installations the hoist is mounted in the normal position and situated usually out-of-sight. Because
of the out-of-sight situation, over-travel electrical limit switches and low voltage control are mandatory. All
of the models (except the SM2) when specially equipped can be mounted in fixed installations.

1.3 Basic Configuration Description
STAGEMAKER®concert hoists are offered in many configurations, each with its own control type and
hoist features.
Configuration A: Utilizes three-phase direct motor control for easier setup and cabling. The hoist
is equipped for mobile installations so it can be mounted in the normal or inverted position. A direct
motor control hoist in the inverted position is best suited for temporary or short-term setups. Full line
voltage controller furnished separately.
Configuration B:Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist (SM1, SM2, SM5,
SM10) is equipped for mobile installations so it can be mounted in the inverted or normal position, but
when specially equipped the hoist (SM1, SM5, SM10) can also be used in the normal position of fixed
applications. Controller furnished separately. A “pickle”, which is used during stage setup, can be
connected directly to the low voltage hoist control. The SM16, SM20 and SM25 hoists must always
be mounted in the normal position and are furnished with a pushbutton pendant controller with E-
stop, for other SM16, SM20 and SM25 applications please contact the factory.
Configuration C:Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist is equipped for
fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position, but when specially equipped the hoist
can also be mounted in the inverted position. The hoist is readily equipped for programmable control
and sequencing. Controller furnished separately.
Configuration D:Used where a higher degree of safety is needed. The hoist complies with
enhanced safety regulations in accordance to DIN 56925. The enhanced safety features and low
voltage control are operated from a standard or programmable controller. The hoist is equipped for
fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position. When specially equipped the hoist can
also be mounted in the inverted position, but must be operated from a nonprogrammable controller.
Configuration E:Utilizes three-phase power and is set up for external controls (typically VFD),
which are not included. The hoist is equipped for fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal
position, but when specially equipped the hoist can also be mounted in the inverted position.
Configuration S:Utilizes single-phase power and low voltage motor control. The hoist is
equipped for mobile installation so it can be mounted in the inverted or normal position, but when
specially equipped the hoist can also be used in the normal position of fixed installations. Controller
furnished separately. A “pickle”, which is used during stage setup, can be connected directly to the
low voltage hoist controls.
Configuration V:Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist (SM10) is
equipped for fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position, but when specially
equipped, the hoist can also be used in the inverted position. Controller furnished separately.

2 Performance
STAGEMAKER®concert hoists are designed for lifting and transporting of materials only. Under no
conditions or circumstances, either during initial installation or in regular use, are hoists to be used for
lifting or transporting of personnel. For additional safety, precautions such as redundant systems, safety
lines from load to structure or enhanced safety features such as the BGV-C1 hoist can be used.
2.1 Environment
The hoists are designed for indoor use and limited outdoor use where the ambient temperature is
between 14°F [-10°C] and 104°F [40°C], elevation is less than 3300 ft [1000 m] and the relative humidity
is less than 90%. The hoist control enclosure has protection rating of NEMA 3R type.
The hoists can be used outdoors with some precautions such as specifying the hoist with a drain hole in
the load sprocket compartment, covering the hoist body/enclosure with a vinyl rain cover, or protecting
the hoist under a shelter. The vinyl rain cover would cover the hoist body/enclosure after the hoist is in
position. The hoist cannot be operated when the vinyl rain cover is covering the hoist body/enclosure.
Without these precautions, continuous exposure to extreme weather conditions will lead to damage of
electrical components.
2.2 Sound Level
The sound intensity level of the hoist in the assumed operating location does not exceed 76 dB.
2.3 Proper Installation
Hoists must be installed clear of any obstruction that could prevent the top and bottom hooks from being
inline.
2.4 Hoists for Ground Supports
Use single fall SM10 hoists for ground supports. Using a SM10 hoist reduces chain wear and risk of chain
twisting. Idler wheels on the ground support must have matching grooves and proper pitch diameter.
