We are in the "sticks" - we don't have too many sources for rental equipment, so we take what is available.
Went over to the theatre last evening. I counted cinder blocks on the proscenium wall and compared the height of the proscenium opening to the wall height. As near I can figure (without actually measuring) - we have about 37' from the stage floor to the lowest "ribs" of our roof/ceiling.
The electricians don't want to work with scaffolding (can't say I blame them) and would prefer a lift.
The available scissors lift goes up to about 27' (platform level), which is obviously too short to be safe. They do have a gasoline powered boom lift which might fit inside the building. We do have a tall, wide garage door opening off of stage right. Shouldn't be a problem getting it in.
Should I run a gasoline powered lift inside the building?
