J. R. Clancy Promotes Safe Sets at LDI 2008
Safe Sets? That's the question that rigging designer and manufacturer J. R. Clancy, Inc., will ask this year at the LDI trade show and conference, October 20-26 in Las Vegas, NV.
Making scenery safe through operator training, regular maintenance and the use of top quality theatrical rigging is the hallmark of J. R. Clancy's worldwide business. That's why the company chose LDI, one of the largest conferences in the technical theatre trade, to remind entertainment professionals to take safety seriously.
To this end, LDI attendees can stop at Clancy's booth, #2504, at the Las Vegas Convention Center and choose from two free buttons. The bright green buttons are printed in white with the words ‘Promote Safe Sets', or ‘Got Safe Sets?'
"No matter what kind of rigging system a performance space may have - counterweights, automation, a combination of the two or a customized system - we can't emphasize enough that you're hanging heavy set pieces over people's heads," said Tom Young, J. R. Clancy's vice president of marketing. "We're taking a light touch with our safety message, but we're very serious about the need to do annual maintenance, train rigging operators to spot problems, and keep everyone in the theatre safe from rigging accidents."
While visiting the booth, LDI attendees can see J. R. Clancy's PowerLift Automated Hoist with its outer cover removed to allow close examination of its dual-brake system and compact moving drum winch. Visitors can enjoy a video of a PowerLift system in action in a theatre setting, and see the sleek, touch screen-operated SceneControl 500 motion control system.
