Our client provides stage set build solutions to entertainment venues and stadia around the world. The main structure of the stage set is built by adding small sections one by one at each corner.
However, this process is complicated for several reasons. Each of the four corners of the set needs to be raised precisely at the same. And the stage sets are built in wide-ranging conditions, introducing variables like wind-loading, and always against tight completion deadlines.
ARX designed, built and tested four hydraulic lifting rigs, complete with hydraulic power units and a bespoke control system. The design focuses on our client’s requirements for simplicity, reliability, repeatability, power efficiency and ease of testing.
Each lifting rig is rated for a SWL of 30 tonnes, giving a total system SWL of 120 tonnes. The four rigs can be controlled in precise unison with a master pendant, or individually as required.
