The STAGE HOIST complies with all safety standards set forth by the Internationally recognized testing authorities of VBG 70 and by UL laboratories standards. These standards are directly associated with the safety of suspensions systems mounted above an assembly of people. The safety features incorporated into the STAGE HOIST include, a self sustaining worm-geared set motor to prevent back winding in a static position and backed up by a breaking system when moving. The system also includes two safety micro switches, one for the top limit plus an extra emergency safety switch and one for the bottom limit plus an extra emergency safety switch. Each wire rope has overload sensors and slack line detection.

The STAGE HOIST can be specified in lengths from 10’ (3 meters) up to 32’ (9.75 meters) and can carry loads from 550 lbs (250 kg) to 1000 lbs (456 kg). It can extend up to 40’ (12 meters). The hoist is ideal for the raising and lowering of lighting instruments along with their associated circuits and dimmers. The STAGE HOIST can provide up to 32’ of batten for mounting lighting instruments with up to 18–20 amp circuits, DMX in /out, 3 phase circuits for intelligent lights as well as audio/ video outlets. All this flexibility and the length makes this product ideal for STAGE APPLICATIONS. This is especially ideal for front of house applications as an alternative to a Catwalk or as Stage Electrics on stage.

The mechanical design being made up of only three elements, a motor compartment, a diverter pulley and pipe batten with connector strip, allows for easily handling and quick installation. The main components are all pre-wired and pre-assembled from the factory making the installation an easy task. The special cable management system makes the load circuit handling neat and easily managed when the hoist is raised or lowered.

The LIGHT DUTY VERSION of the STAGE HOIST (Mod. 8530) is capable of lifting a (SWL) safe working load of up 550 lbs (250 kg), plus the self-weight of the hoist, which is based on the travel distance and the optional features included.

The HEAVY DUTY VERSION of the STAGE HOIST (Mod. 8545) is capable of lifting a (SWL) safe working load of up 1,000 lbs (456 kg), plus the self-weight of the hoist, which is based on the travel distance and the optional features included. The maximum travel distance for both versions is 40 feet / 12 meters. Special travel distance requirements are available as an option.

The BATTEN HOIST complies with all safety standards set forth by the Internationally recognized testing authorities of VBG 70 and by UL laboratories standards. These standards are directly associated with the safety of suspensions systems mounted above an assembly of people. The safety features incorporated into the BATTEN HOIST include, a self sustaining worm-geared set motor to prevent back winding in a static position and backed up by a breaking system when moving. The system also includes two safety micro switches, one for the top limit plus an extra emergency safety switch and one for the bottom limit plus an extra emergency safety switch. Each wire rope has overload sensors and slack line detection.

The BATTEN HOIST can be specified in lengths from 20’ (6 meters) up to 48’ (14.6 meters) and can carry loads up to 550 lbs (250kg) or 1000 lbs (456 kg) SWL (Safe Working Load). The BATTEN HOIST can provide up to 48’ of pipe batten for mounting lighting instruments, curtains or scenery. The flexibility, ease of installation and the length of the batten it can lift, makes it an ideal product for STAGE APPLICATIONS. This is especially true, where a large span needs to be covered.

The mechanical design incorporates Two major components. The First is a motor compartment which is underhung from the steel and houses a 1.8 kw motor (light duty version) or a 2.8 kw motor (heavy duty version), dual cable lifting drums, the 3 Phase 208 volt power feed terminals and the control circuit terminals. The Second, depending on the length of the batten, which can be up to 48 feet long, will incorporate either two or four single line diverter pulley’s modules. Sheet metal strips shall be mounted between the motor module and each pulley separating the modules and provides for exact spacing. The diverter pulley modules will support the length of the Pipe Batten with single lift cables. Each Cable having a minimum breaking load of 1,200 kg / 2,400 lbs (light duty version) or 2,000 kg / 4,400 lbs (heavy duty version). The main components are all pre-wired and pre-assembled from the factory making the installation an easy task.

The BATTEN HOIST is capable of lifting a (SWL) safe working load of 550 lbs (250 kg) or 1000 lbs (456 kg), plus the self-weight of the hoist, which is based on the travel distance and the optional features included. The maximum travel distance is 40 feet / 12 meters. Special travel distance requirements are available as an option.

SAFETY The HOUSELIGHT HOIST complies with all safety standards set forth by the Internationally recognized testing authorities of VBG 70 and by UL laboratories standards. These standards are directly associated with the safety of suspensions systems mounted above an assembly of people. The safety features incorporated into the HOUSELIGHT HOIST include, a self sustaining worm-geared set motor to prevent back winding in a static position and backed up by a breaking system when moving. The system also includes two safety micro switches, one for the top limit plus an extra emergency safety switch and one for the bottom limit plus an extra emergency safety switch. Each wire rope has overload sensors and slack line detection.

The HOUSELIGHT HOIST can be specified in lengths from 30’ (9.1 meters) up to 60’ (18 meters) and can carry loads up to 200 lbs evenly distributed SWL (Safe Working Load). The HOUSELIGHT HOIST can provide up to 60’ of an extruded aluminum I beam which acts as a combination wire-way and mounting rail for architectural lighting fixtures. The flexibility, ease of installation,

and the length of the mounting rail it can lift, makes it an ideal product for accessing the houselights. This is especially true where no other access for servicing and re-lamping the auditorium down lights exists.

The mechanical design incorporates Three major components. The First is a motor compartment which is underhung from the steel and houses a 1.8kw motor, dual cable lifting drums, the 3 Phase 208 volt power feed terminals and the control circuit terminals. The Second, depending on the length of the batten, which can be up to 60 feet long, will incorporate either two or four single line diverter pulley’s modules. Sheet metal strips shall be mounted between the motor module and each pulley separating the modules and provides for exact spacing. The diverter pulley modules will support the length of the Pipe Batten with single lift cables. Each Cable having a minimum breaking load of 1,200 kg / 2,400 lbs. The third component is an extruded aluminum I Beam (for rigidity over the 60’ span) wire way with a cover on the front and back. A strain relief for the lighting fixture cord is mounted into holes punched into the wire way cover. The wire way houses the outlet terminal blocks for hardwiring the lighting fixtures and can also be barricaded in order to separate any emergency lighting circuits. The main components are all pre-wired and pre-assembled

from the factory making the installation an easy task.

The HOUSELIGHT HOIST is capable of lifting a (SWL) safe working load of 200 lbs, plus the self-weight of the hoist, which is based on the travel distance and the optional features included. The maximum travel distance is 40 feet / 12 meters.

Special travel distance requirements are available as an option.
