Overview
The Kupo 485 Heavy Duty Wind-Up Low Base Stand is a professional-grade lifting stand designed for safely raising and positioning heavy lighting fixtures in film, television, studio, and broadcast environments. Built from a combination of chrome-plated steel and stainless steel, it delivers exceptional strength, durability, and stability for demanding production use.
With an impressive load capacity of up to 80 kg and a maximum height of 2.7 m, this stand is engineered for high-performance studio workflows where safety, precision, and reliability are essential. The low-base design provides a compact footprint while maintaining excellent stability, making it suitable for both studio and controlled location environments.
The integrated wind-up crank system allows a single operator to lift heavy equipment smoothly and safely, with each rotation delivering precise incremental height adjustment. The automatic self-locking mechanism ensures the stand remains securely locked in position during use, preventing accidental drop or movement.
Fitted with braked caster wheels, the stand can be easily repositioned on set and securely locked in place when stationary. A built-in levelling leg further enhances stability on uneven surfaces, while reinforced steel struts and a wide footprint ensure safe operation under maximum load.
