Manual Chain Hoist 0.5T
Specifications
- Rated capacity 500 kg (0.5 t)
- Lift height - 6 m on the ACE SFCB0.56, 5 m on the Felco
- Hand-chain operated, with load brake
The Manual Chain Hoist 0.5T is a hand-operated chain block with a rated capacity of 500 kg. Pulling the hand chain turns a geared mechanism that raises or lowers the load chain, and a load brake holds the load in position when the hand chain is released. Cloud One's stock record covers two 500 kg blocks: an ACE SFCB0.56 with a 6 m lift, and a Felco with a 5 m lift, each with its own chain bag. It hangs from a top hook onto a beam clamp, trolley or rigging point, and is used where a load has to be lifted or trimmed without a power supply.

LITEC Flyintower Compact 6m
The LITEC Flyintower Compact is a ground-support lifting tower for loudspeaker systems, built on QX30SA 300 truss and raised with a manual hoist. Compact is LITEC's own name for the Flyintower 6-300. It reaches a maximum tower height of 6 m, lifts up to 300 kg and weighs 70 kg. Dismantled it packs into 0.4 m³, small enough for a single flightcase holding every part except the vertical trusses. LITEC limit the wind-exposed surface of the suspended load to 2.5 m², with ballast set according to wind speed.

PA Tower - 9.8m
The Alustage PA Tower is a wind-up lifting tower used to raise loudspeaker systems, including line arrays, above an audience. Cloud One's stock record identifies it as an Alustage tower: a mast of Quadro 390 truss on a PDS 05.01 HD tower base, with an NDS 390.06.00 header block at the top and a hand-cranked PDS 12.00 winch assembly, braced by 2.6 m legs and RP-Fi50 diagonal braces. Each leg frame is ballasted with a 600 litre water tank. The 9.8 m in the name is the maximum trim height, the height the load is hoisted to, not the height of the tower.
