Mobile chain hoist
Something has to be pulled up or held up at various points of the room?
Use a mobile chain hoist!
Mobile chain hoists don’t require a fixed installation. They can be installed anywhere on the stage where appropriate loading points are established. Apart from planning these loading points, no other preparation is necessary for chain hoists.
Chain hoists can be categorized into following groups:
-
D8
After lifting, the load has to be secured, and it should not be held by the chain and moved above people’s heads. -
D8+
Securing the load is not necessary, the load may be held by the chain but it cannot be moved above people’s heads. -
BGV C1
Securing the load is not necessary, the load may be held by the chain and it may also be moved above people’s heads.
Only type D8+ and type BGV C1 can be used in theaters!
Safe operation and maintenance
At the time of sale we provide the operating colleagues all the knowledge required for safe operation.
In addition, we provide information on warranty conditions and the regular periodic maintenance of the device at the time of sale.
The planning and implementation period of chain hoists can be 1-2 months (depending on their complexity).
General data:
- Load capacity: 100-5000 kg
- Moving range (depending on the venue): 6-35 meters
- Moving speed (depending on the number of wires): 8-10-12-14 m/min
- Installed power (depending on the load capacity and speed): 3-5 kW
A solution to replace the existing printed posters or paper-based billboards was sought for Margaret Island Theatre, whereby the audience may be informed of both present and upcoming plays.
Project details
The set designer envisaged a continuous silver background for the performance KINGDOM of Badora Dance Company, for which a rather seldom used material was chosen.
