About the Smart-Move® RH Models:

Micro-Speed® Smart-Move® hoist VFDs are PE-Preset™*for use in hoisting, lifting, or other applications that have an internal mechanical load brake or self-locking worm drive hoists. For hoists without a mechanical load brake, or for other applications and safety systems that require encoder feedback see the MV-Ultra™ series.

For applications over 3 HP, use the Micro-Speed® CXRH™ or MX-UH Ultra™ series.

*PE-Preset™: The same high-reliability Smart-Move® models can be used as either an “R” or “RH” model – but they are factory preset for hoist or travel motion allowing for fast and simple installation. Can be changed in the field if necessary.
