TYPES OF RIGGING
COUNTERWEIGHT RIGGING
Counterweight sets are a manual method of raising and lowering stage equipment. A counter-balance arbor is required which must have the same amount of weight as the object to be moved. Therefore a 500 pound light batten would require 500 pounds of weight to be loaded on the arbor. Counterweight sets should only be operated by properly trained and supervised personnel.
DEAD HUNG RIGGING
Dead hung or fixed rigging sets cannot be raised or lowered. Dead hung sets are typically installed in facilities were there is not sufficient space above the proscenium to effectively raise and lower sets.
MOTORIZED STAGE RIGGING
Motorized stage rigging moves stage scenery safely with speed and accuracy. Motorized sets do not require the adjustment of counterweight sets and are therefore easier to operate. Computerized controls provide an unmatched level of precision and repeatability for cues, making each performance more uniform, while still maintaining the overrides necessary for safety.
ETCP CERTIFIED
