Product Features of GIS Entertainment Chain Hoists for Theaters, Stages, Multipurpose Halls, Arenas, Stadiums, and Other Event Venues
The GIS Entertainment Series chain hoists LPM, LP, and LPL are available in various safety classes specifically designed to meet the demands of the entertainment and stage sector. These models are classified according to IGVW SQP2:2018, EN 14492-2, and EN 17206, covering all essential requirements for safe overhead use:
D8 Chain Hoist:
This basic classification allows for lifting and lowering loads that are secured after being hoisted but is not intended for continuous operation over people. D8 chain hoists are ideal for the preparation and setup phases of stage constructions in theaters and event venues.
For spaces like churches or similarly echo-prone environments, fabrics with high absorption values, especially at low frequencies, are preferred. Our fabrics can help reduce reverberation time and create a more pleasant acoustic environment.
D8+ Chain Hoist:
Designed for overhead use where increased safety is required, D8+ chain hoists are suitable for lifting loads above people without additional securing. They meet stricter safety standards compared to standard D8 hoists, providing added reliability for critical stage applications.
In spaces where minimal impact on acoustics is desired, fabrics with low absorption values are ideal. Our velvets or echo velvets can enhance aesthetics without significantly altering room acoustics.
C1 Chain Hoist for Maximum Safety Requirements:
C1 chain hoists are engineered for the highest safety demands, ideal for precise and secure load handling directly over people during performances or live events. These hoists comply with stringent standards and are equipped with advanced safety features, making them suitable for critical applications in theaters, arenas, and other event venues.
Fabrics used to cover speakers should allow sound to pass through with minimal alteration. Fabrics with low to medium absorption values are ideal for maintaining sound quality while offering aesthetic concealment.
The GIS Entertainment Series includes the LPM, LP, and LPL chain hoist models, offering flexibility for various load requirements and stage applications. Whether for small theater stages, complex stage designs, or elaborate opera productions, these electric chain hoists are perfectly suited to the diverse demands of event and theater technology.
