ChainMaster Equips International Shows and Tours
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Christina Aguilera, Nelly Furtado, The Beastie Boys, The Police, Celine Dion, Tim McGraw, The Killers, The Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Canadian hard rock legends Rush are just some of the acts currently touring with equipment from ChainMaster or whose recent shows have featured equipment from the Eilenburg-based manufacturer. The Peppers, for example, took 21 500kg VarioLifts, eight 800 kg VarioLifts and four VarioTrolleys with them on their latest world tour, whilst the Beastie Boys opted for six half-ton VarioLifts.
The musicals ‘Wicked’, ‘The Elvis Story’, ‘Night Fever’ and ‘We Will Rock You’ as well as the NHL All Star Game, the Juno Awards Presentation, the Canadian Country Music Awards and the East Cast Music Awards – not to forget the Tattoo Military Music Show – are other high-profile productions in which chain hoists and chain-hoist controllers ‘Made in Saxony’ have played key roles.
For years now, ChainMaster has been one of the world's market leaders in this area. One of the most important innovations the company has introduced is the VarioLift, which was first presented in 1998 and has been continually improved and extended since, but the range of products manufactured and distributed by ChainMaster also includes a variety of controllers, power distributors, rigging lifts and accessories. Another of the company's most successful products is the VarioTrolley, an electrically-powered item of running gear with an integrated frequency inverter and positioning unit. Among the latest crop of innovatory and sophisticated developments from the German manufacturer are the XYZ Stage Controller, a special low-noise chain hoist with a worm gear transmission and the JumboLift, which is designed for heavy loads such as video cubes weighing up to six tons.
