Hall Stage Celebrate Another Award-winning ABTT Show
Only 18 months after their management buy-out, Hall Stage picked up the Rigging & Engineering ‘Product of the Year’ award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians trade show for the second year running.
Following on from the ‘Widget of the Year’ success of the ‘HoldOn’ clip launched in 2003, the company unveiled the DGS Counterweight Drive system, designed in conjunction with their German partners, ASM Steuerungstechnik. The DGS is the first genuine drive hoist that means an end to counterweight loading, with all of its inherent Health & Safety, cost and time implications.
Fitting directly onto an existing counterweight frame, the DGS uses twin steel bands with a combined safety factor of 20:1 to raise and lower the weight cradle at speeds of up to 1.5m/second - in virtual silence.
Hall Stage are also offering full financial support packages from the Bank of Scotland, enabling a venue to purchase a full system for less than the costs of running their current installation.
