Hall Stage has designed a specific entry level zero-fleet hoist - the DGZ - with a 350kg load on four lines & 15m travel, moving a stage flybar at 12m per minute - three times the speed of regular chain hoists or standard pilewind units. Designed for service use with lighting and technical equipment or basic scenery moves, the unit comes complete with all necessary drop pulleys and bar, wire ropes and local control for less than £5,000.
Additional options include programmable control, variable speed up to 1.5m/second, flying lines and pre-fabricated cross-stage roof beams for easy installation.
Halls will have a selection of winches and hoists, including the new DGZ on stand 2-R28 at PLASA next month.
