JBL Professional VTX-V25-LH - Lever Hoist for V25 Array Compression (1.5 t, 6 m Chain)

The JBL VTX-V25-LH is the factory-approved hand lever hoist for compressing VTX V25-II-CS / V25-CS arrays. Based on the CM Series 653 model, it offers a nominal capacity of 1.5 tonnes (≈ 1.36 metric tons) and 6 meters of chain , allowing up to 24 enclosures to be compressed per column (depending on array geometry) without additional extension hardware . Constructed from steel and featuring a compact design, it integrates safety latch hooks, directional lever and free chain position for agile and safe handling in touring and large-format installations.

Main features

• Load capacity: 1.5 t (≈ 1.36 metric t) for VTX array compression.
• Chain Reach: 6 m (20 ft) of load chain.
• System Coverage: Compression of up to 24 VTX V25-II-CS / V25-CS cabinets per column, depending on curvature.
• Ready for touring: steel construction, high-visibility orange color, latching hooks and directional control.
• Rigging Compatibility: Use directly with the VTX ecosystem; commonly used alongside the VTX-V25-PB pull-back or VTX-V25-AF-EB extension bar .
• Compact and robust format: 430.2 × 174.6 × 120.7 mm; weight 18.2 kg.
• Includes: 1 × Columbus McKinnon (CM) Series 653 1.5t Lever Hoist with 6m Chain.

Benefits for the PA technician

• Speed ​​and repeatability in array compression, with fine control of curvature.
• Security through the use of OEM hardware and latch hooks.
• Logistical efficiency : no additional extensions required for long columns.
• Full integration with VTX rigging (pull back and extension bars) for touring and festivals.

Use cases

• Compression of VTX V25-II-CS / V25-CS arrays in large format L/R system assembly.
• Operations with VTX-V25-PB (pull back) or with chain motor through VTX-V25-AF-EB , depending on the rigging design.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many enclosures can I compress? Up to 24 V25-II-CS/V25-CS per column, depending on the array geometry.
• Do I need extension hardware? Not for the conditions indicated; the VTX-V25-LH includes 6 m of chain.
• Can I use a chain motor instead of a hoist? Yes; as an alternative to compression, a chain motor can be used with the VTX-V25-AF-EB or rear motor configurations with the VTX-V25-PB .
