The Award Winning ChainRunner has been designed to provide a safe, off-the-shelf solution to the cable management problems faced every day within the touring event industry. The ChainRunner is used to manage power, control, audio and data cables associated with moving truss applications and thus eliminating the necessity for very expensive spring driven cable reels and eradicating the home-made gizmos that abound in the industry, say Hoist UK.
The ChainRunner range is available to fit the Verlinde, CM and Liftket chain hoists used in the entertainment industry. It is simple to fix, with no need to remove the chain or hook from the hoist and no additional tooling is required. Once fitted, the ChainRunner cannot become disconnected from the chain whilst under load. By placing an adequate number of ChainRunners on the chain any attached cables will neatly and safely loop in and out as the truss is moved, the company says.
