I hope someone can help. I am a traveling one man comedy show. I am looking to build a system in which I raise a 50 -200 lb weight and then be able to release it at gravity speed. The weight acts as a counter weight which is attached (through pully lines) to a tear away suit that I am wearing. Each venue I work will differ, some will have fly systems and most will not. So compactability and simplicity is at the top of my list.
I've looked at winch's but most are not for overhead lifting. I'm looking for speed here, some sort of system that allows us to crank the weight up, lock in, then a simple lever or foot release, dropping the counterweight on to a waiting crash pad surrounded by a drop cage.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated or companies that might be able to help construct this.
Thanks sooo much
Marty
