Who makes the PLUSlite, and where does it sit in the Movecat range?
The PLUSlite is made by Movecat, a manufacturer of professional rigging hoists.

What does the D8+ rating mean for the Movecat PLUSlite?
D8+ is a classification standard for chain hoists used in entertainment rigging, indicating a high duty-cycle rating suited to frequent, demanding use in professional production environments. Both the 500 kg and 1000 kg PLUSlite models carry this rating, which reflects their suitability for theatre, film and live event applications where reliability under repeated loading is essential.
What should I check when buying a used Movecat PLUSlite?
Check which capacity variant is being offered, 500 kg or 1000 kg, and confirm the chain length, as the 500 kg model is specified with 18 metres of lift. Ask about hours of use and whether a flight case is included, since some used units are sold with one. Every listing on 10K Used carries a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the full buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/ has further detail.
What does the used price of a Movecat PLUSlite depend on?
