Product Details

The improvement of safety became the core direction of improvement for stage equipment chain hoists during this period. In addition to adding basic braking devices, the development of the double pawl braking system was a milestone — when the main braking device fails accidentally, the secondary braking device will automatically lock within 0.3 seconds to prevent the hook from slipping. At the same time, an anti was added to the hook, which automatically closes through spring force to avoid heavy objects falling due to loose ropes. These safety designs have passed the 100,000-cycle fatigue test of the international stage machinery safety standard (EN 13000), and the accident rate has dropped by more than 90% compared with before.

Technological improvements have promoted the popularization of stage equipment chain hoists in various scenarios. On the stage of large-scale musicals, it has become a "porter" for heavy equipment — in the Broadway production of The Phantom of the Opera in New York, the 3-ton chandelier was precisely lifted and lowered by the improved chain hoist, cooperating with the lighting control system to create a shocking stage effect; on the musical stages in London's West End, it is used to quickly switch more than 20 sets of scenery, shortening the scene change time to within 30 seconds. In small theater performance venues, lightweight chain hoists (weighing only 8 kilograms) are installed on simple trusses, making it convenient for staff to manually adjust the position of props. Even in campus theaters and community cultural centers, they can be seen. By the end of the 1960s, the popularity of stage equipment chain hoists in the global stage equipment market had increased seven times compared with the early 1950s, becoming a core link connecting stage machinery and artistic presentation, and completely changing the backward mode of traditional stage construction that relied on manual lifting.
