D8, D8+ and C1 explained

A hoist class describes capabilities; assessment covers the complete system.

Sources checked 11 September 2026.

Three different purposes

IGVW SQP2 distinguishes D8, D8 Plus and C1. D8 is not for moving or holding loads over people without additional measures. D8 Plus addresses holding such loads; C1 also covers movement under the appropriate conditions.

A hoist is not the whole installation

Controls, attachments, supporting structure and operating method must work as a coordinated system. A C1 label or a second brake alone does not approve a particular show.

Document the intended use

State whether the load will be held or moved, where people will be and how operation will be monitored. SQP2 is German industry guidance: the responsible qualified person must confirm applicable Croatian requirements.

Two more useful answers

Is D8+ the same as C1?

No. Holding and moving over people are different applications.

Does the label authorise an event?

No. Application, equipment and local requirements need assessment.
