Lift-Turn-Move Launches EquipChaine in the UK at ABTT

Lifting, and rigging sales specialists Lift-Turn-Move (LTM) will launch the new EquipChaine electromechanical chain lifting device into the UK at ABTT 2005. The device has been specifically designed for theatrical applications.

The EquipChaine is an electromechanical chain lifting device that has been specifically designed for theatrical applications. Each device consists of several modular elements connected together to suit the structural environment. Several chain drop positions are linked by the same drive mechanism that can be used to lift lighting bars, stage sets and curtains of various lengths.

EquipChaine is appreciated by theatre consultants and architects throughout Europe; it has been installed in a diverse range of over 130 theatres and multi-purpose spaces. Existing applications range from single to 40-device projects.

Using EquipChaine simplifies any structural problems, as it fits into existing structures, allowing service spaces and back stage areas to be freed up from large lifting machinery. Its efficiency and space saving properties has also led to its integration into the entertainment systems of cruise ships, e.g. Queen Mary II.

In addition to EquipChaine the new product, an extensive range of lifting and rigging equipment is available from LTM including Lodestar and Prostar electric chain hoists, and these will also be highlighted at the show. LTM also offers a comprehensive range of spare parts for Lodestars and Prostars plus repairs and routine servicing, with staff fully trained in both standard equipment and BGV C1 certified equipment.

Also showing will be the new compact CM Prostar hoists, with increased capacities and speeds. This higher speed version will climb at 6 or 10m/min (increased from the industry standard 4 metres a minute). A new 250 kg SWL @ 4m/minute version will also be shown.

The IBEX’s programmable Hoist Controller offers fully computerised control, combined with the simplicity and versatility of a traditional manual hoist controller. It provides as little or as much functionality as required by the show and adds even more power and versatility, with an enhanced control panel and integrated Ethernet port, for the most demanding applications. Up to 10 controllers may be linked together, providing control of up to 240 hoists. PC’s may also be connected for full screen status display and remote control functions.
