Tractel Black - The DarkSide Just Got Darker
For over a century, Tractel have been one of the world’s leading lifting gear companies, with a formidable reputation for quality. Now Tractel and their exclusive UK Entertainment Industry Distributor DarkSide Industries, have worked together to launch Tractel Black – a comprehensive range of lifting gear that’s been specially developed with venues and theatres in mind.
“This is a range of really high quality lifting gear, that suits exactly what entertainment professionals are looking for,” said DarkSide’s MD, Martin Green. “Tractel Black chain blocks are lightweight but incredibly strong – the 1t unit only weighs 12kgs! That weight advantage is really important, especially in touring situations.”
The range also includes beam clamps in 1t, 2,t, 3t and 5t sizes. All items are available from ex-stock from DarkSide’s central warehouse.
“This isn’t just your run of the mill rigging gear,” said Martin. “Tractel products have been proving their strength, reliability and superior quality in general industry for decades, but their products have never been available in black before.”
Martin is delighted that the entertainment industry can now benefit fully from Tractel’s experience and quality. “This is a real DarkSide first,” he told us. “The attention to detail on this gear is excellent, from the black powder coated body, to the black load chain, even down to the way it’s packaged to protect the gear in transit. You can see this hasn’t just been thrown into a box somewhere in the Far East – Tractel Black is the real deal.”
Tractel Black is only available from DarkSide Industries.
