The XLNT DS8 Series: a whole new move in motor control

10 september 2009

The XLNT DS8 Pro and Pro Plus Series brings something completely new to the entertainment rigging motor controller market - a unique combination of solid state reliability, versatility and affordability.

Its development was a direct response to the growing needs of XLNT's rental customers, as XLNT Advanced Technologies service & support manager Aart Gigengack explains. "The main reason that we began the DS8 development project was the fact that many of our rental customers, who wanted to improve the flexibility and reliability of their standard hoist motor controllers, found it was impossible to get an better quality alternative to the usual products without spending a lot of money on custom-built products. They wanted a well built, high quality, safe, well-priced controller, so that is exactly what we designed."
He adds: "There are many controllers out on the market that are either very cheap but with poor build quality and minimal safety features - or there are very expensive controllers that are custom-built for companies who demand quality, safety and durability. "We have developed a high end controller, with a smart, easy to use design and extra safety features, that is fully compliant, fully featured and built to last, for a medium price. It's a controller for professionals, for daily use."
