Hi
I am looking for an upgrade solution for the existing side bridges in my theatre. The existing units are about 40 years old, and are U shaped aluminum “swing stage” catwalk like structures,much like window washing platforms, but bigger. These units have fixture hanging positions on the on stage side and a walkway in the middle to provide access for focusing.
They are hung from the grid in the theatre with 2 – one ton CM motors, and can travel from the floor, up and out of the way to about 45 feet. They are about 40 feet long.
Aside from the lighting fixtures hanging on them, they also have some smaller side fill speakers on them, and we occasionally bring them in to the deck and add some masking for the sides of the stage.
Has anyone seen something in a theatre, or touring, that is similar, but has the capacity to attach fall protection?
I will be using an engineer, or buying something that is engineered and approved, but I thought that someone may have a brilliant solution they have seen or are already using.
Thanks
