"We want the end-users of our equipment to be successful," said Tom Young, vice president of marketing for J. R. Clancy. "Motorised equipment is more complex than manual equipment, and it needs more specialised inspection and maintenance. We want our users to have trouble-free systems, and the best way to ensure this is to have the equipment inspected regularly by a trained professional.
"OSHA requires an annual inspection of all overhead lifting systems," Young continued. "But many facilities do not inspect and maintain rigging systems in their stages. As the first rigging manufacturer to offer a three-year warranty on motorised rigging, we can emphasize the three most important steps in backstage safety: Train, Inspect and Maintain."
