Electric chain hoists and regulations: what you need to know
In professional rigging, safety is not a detail — it’s defined by precise regulations that determine how hoists must be designed and used.
The main ones are:
-
🔹Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
→ establishes the essential health and safety requirements for all machinery placed on the European market.
-
🔹EN 17206
→ a harmonized standard governing lifting systems in the entertainment industry, replacing national standards with unified European criteria.
-
🔹BGV/DGUV D8, D8+, C1
→ German classifications that define different safety levels for hoists used in events and shows.
What does this mean in practice?
D8 – for static rigging
👉 Used to lift trusses, audio, or lighting before the event
👉 Cannot hold loads above people without secondary safety systems
👉 Safety factor 5:1, single brake
D8+ – for permanent suspension above people
👉 Allows loads to remain suspended above people without additional safety systems
👉 Dynamic movements are not permitted
👉 Safety factor 8:1, double independent brake
C1 – for dynamic movements during live shows
👉 The only classification that allows lifting and moving loads above people in real time
👉 Used in stage automation and large live productions
👉 Safety factor ≥ 8:1 (often 10:1), double brake, limit switches, load monitoring.
Typically equipped with position and speed control devices compliant with SIL3 safety level.
Understanding these regulations means working safely, complying with European standards, and choosing the right hoist for every project.
Our Divo electric chain hoists are certified D8, D8+, and C1, fully compliant with EN 17206, and designed to ensure maximum reliability in every application.
