PCM at PLASA 2004

PCM is highlighting two product ranges at the PLASA 2004 Show – their extensive range of CM Lodestar Motors and the PLASA award winning Unibar system.

PCM put the Lodestar brand on the map during the 1990s as far as the European touring and event industry is concerned and supplies a wide selection of standard Lodestar electric chain hoists which will be highlighted on the stand, together with details of their Motor Schools.

PCM also features the Lodestars to BGV C1 standard – a hoist with special safety features; these Lodestars have double brakes, each capable of stopping the full load. They provide double the usual hoist safety factor, with a chain safety factor of 10:1, plus 4-position limit switches including emergency switches, 24 volt control, under/overload electronic protection and a slack chain detection device.

The unique award-winning Unibar system (PLASA 2003 Product Excellence) is an exciting new winch system that allows the quick and easy raising/lowering of lighting or suspension bars for scenery, with a motor driven unit. Unibar is a flexible unit that can be installed onto any style of fixing or structure, including universal beams, trussing, channels and barrels.

Unibar is a cost-effective alternative to the more sophisticated power-assisted winch sets. It is available in 250 or 400 kg models with single or two speed options. The entire Unibar unit is self-contained, with the GIS motor unit positioned on the end of the track. Single or three phase power options are offered. A second mechanical brake is also available as an option.

Unibar supports either 3, 4 or 5 suspension cables, with suspension bar lengths of up to 15m possible. Ultimate top and bottom limits are contained within the motor. Unibar units can be positioned side by side, and the suspension bars can be at 200 mm centres – a vital requirement for all theatres.
