The suspension beam system, which can travel along the inside flanges of two I-beams, or mounted to bespoke brackets which interface with an existing house system, allows two or more adjacent systems to pass by each other without obstruction. The Rig Beams can also be removed and repositioned onto other beams elsewhere within the venue using the telescopic option.
Anti-crab rollers, wheel guards, a fail-safe clamp system which locks the beams into position, support of multi-directional forces for rigging bridles, 3D flying and diversion support are just some of the benefits of the Rig Beam system.
According to the Rigging Partnership, the Rig Beam system can be set up and safely locked off in minutes, with full motor control from the production grid, operating gantry and stage areas. With an optional telescopic Rig Beam you can reduce the amount of beams you require and simply move them from a large span rig point to a smaller span rig point. "Since the design and installation of the Rig Beam system in various venues around the UK we have had very positive feedback from all clients," the company says.
Advantages of the Rig Beam system include safer point rigging procedures and great reductions in rigging time and costs. Easily installed, it brings added flexibility for a venue: it can be fitted into any roof space and is suitable for bridles.
"From the first site visit through design and into installation, the Rigging Partnership works closely with the client and in-house staff to ensure the best and most suitable installation for the venue's needs," the company says.
