FULL DISCLOSURE: We are a manufacturer and I am here to sell you things. Well, not really. Mostly we just want to give advice and help answer questions. Perhaps we can shed some light on a few things as a company that's been designing, building, and installing rigging equipment for about 3 decades. Rigging equipment is dangerous and we don't want anyone to be scared of it (well, a healthy amount of fear isn't a bad thing) - we want people to understand it and how to use it safely. We're a long standing member USITT and at ETCP recognized employer. You may have seen us at USITT and LDI in the past, although we haven't shown much recently.
I joined on CB several years ago, however at that time we were unsure if it was against the rules to post as a vendor. We've spoken with the site staff and we are eager to support CB and their efforts here.
So, if anyone has any questions about rigging and automation (as well as tension grids, lifts, curtains & tracks, and a few others), I'm your guy! Actually I cant promise that, but I will do my best to put you in touch with the right people if I cant help- even if that's one of our competitors. They're good people, too.
I look forward to speaking with you on the forums, at tradeshows, and our facility. Students and independent professionals are always welcome to visit our facility in Las Vegas if you are in town!
Have fun and rig safe
