Ideally we could have get the points setup after we talk to the structural engineer, but the problem is that the location is directly above our orchestra pit covers. That means we can't drive a scissor lift over it because it weighs too much. Although, if we purchase a good one-man lift we can get high enough to hook the chains up each time.

Why not just purchase two chain hoists and invert them so then you can just lower the chains down when you need them. We do this in some of out permanent venues where we have contracts to supply the sound then we don't have to constantly bring a rigger out or rent a lift. Also if possible and you do arena you don't necessarily need to rent a lift if you can get to the steel you can get a rigger to pull your points and you can just make "rock and roll baskets" we do this a lot when in big arenas. It works great and saves a lot of money when all you have to do is get a local rigger.
