Electric Stage Hoist Dual Brake Overload Protection

Electric Stage Hoist with Dual Brake System & Overload Protection

This professional electric stage hoist is built for event entertainment rigging systems. Equipped with dual independent braking safety mechanism and reliable overload protection device, it effectively prevents load slipping and free fall once overloaded or power cuts off, delivering paramount safety for overhead rigging where performers, crew and audiences stand underneath.

We provide factory‑custom electric stage hoists supporting 380‑440V, 50/60Hz power supply. It comes with IP54 protection grade against dust and splashing water. Standard configuration includes handheld control pendant for convenient on‑site operation. Optional multi‑unit synchronous controller enables multiple hoists to lift and lower simultaneously at consistent speed, keeping trusses, LED screens and stage scenery level during complex performance setups. Ideal for theatres, concerts, touring shows, exhibitions and stadium events. Customized lifting capacity, lifting height and speed are available upon request.

• ✅ Theatres & Opera Houses Ideal for permanent installation in professional theatres and opera houses. It safely suspends lighting rigs, audio gear, backdrops, stage curtains and movable scenery. Multi‑unit synchronous lifting delivers precise, smooth and jitter‑free movement, enabling seamless dynamic scene transformation for live drama, operas and musical shows. Quiet operation prevents noise disruption during performances, meeting strict acoustic requirements for formal theatre productions.

  ✅ Concerts & Touring Shows Widely adopted for concerts and touring live events. It lifts lighting trusses, line‑array speaker clusters, large LED video walls and heavy stage props. Compact body and lightweight structure support fast rigging & de‑rigging, greatly saving setup time for road tours, indoor arenas and outdoor music festivals. Together with optional flight cases, it is perfectly suited for rental companies handling frequent cross‑city touring schedules.

  ✅ Exhibition & Convention Events Perfect for exhibition halls, conference centers and high‑end banquet venues. The hoist is used to hang exhibition frames, large backdrop banners, branding signage and integrated audiovisual systems. It serves a wide range of occasions including industrial expos, corporate summits, fashion runway shows and luxury wedding events, helping create eye‑catching overhead layouts with reliable lifting performance.

  ✅ Stadiums & Sports Venues Suitable for large stadiums and multi‑functional sports venues. It supports the installation of temporary lighting rigs, giant LED screens and festive event decoration systems for opening ceremonies, award galas and halftime sports performances. Besides event use, it can also assist routine maintenance and replacement of fixed overhead venue facilities, offering flexible overhead lifting solutions for large‑space venues.

• ✅ TV Studios & Film Shooting Bases

•  Designed for television studios and film shooting bases. It hoists studio lamps, movable backdrops and modular film sets. Low‑noise running avoids unwanted sound pickup during recording, while accurate height adjustment facilitates quick scene switching and flexible camera framing for live broadcast, variety shows and film shooting projects.

  ✅ Clubs, Bars & Themed Entertainment Venues

•  A popular choice for night clubs, bars and themed entertainment venues. It suspends moving‑head lights, beam lights and audio equipment. Continuous fine height adjustment helps build dynamic, immersive lighting effects, creating fantastic visual atmospheres for parties and regular nightlife performances.

   

Description

 

 

Heavy‑Duty Steel Casing

Our electric stage hoist features a high‑strength matte black steel casing. Precision‑formed and electrostatic‑sprayed, the anti‑reflection housing prevents stage light reflection while shielding internal components from dust and impact. Optimized heat‑dissipation structure supports long‑time continuous operation for theatre, concert and event rigging.

 

Thoughtfully optimized heat‑dissipation structure accelerates heat dissipation during continuous work, avoiding overheating risks. It delivers dependable long‑hour running performance for theatres, concerts and various event rigging projects.

Dual Braking Safety System for Redundant Protection

Two independent brakes: motor electromagnetic main brake + mechanical secondary safety brake.

Main electromagnetic brake locks the load immediately upon power loss during regular operation.

Backup mechanical brake serves as emergency protection. It activates automatically in case of main brake failure or transmission damage to stop load falling.

Two brakes work separately; single brake alone can hold full rated load.

Effectively prevents load free‑fall, critical for overhead rigging where performers and crew stand below.

Meets strict safety standards for stage lifting equipment for rental and fixed installation.

G80 High‑Strength Alloy Steel Lifting Chains

Made of high‑grade alloy steel, quenched and tempered for high tensile strength.

Far better wear resistance and anti‑fatigue performance than ordinary chains.

Precision forged links with smooth finish, lower friction and less risk of chain jamming.

Special anti‑rust surface treatment for indoor and temporary outdoor event use.

Complies with international lifting standards, with sufficient safety factor.

Perfect for frequent rigging, touring rental, repeated lifting for stage performance.

Hoist‑Specific Shock‑Resistant Flight Case

Custom‑made aviation case perfectly matching the dimension of our electric stage hoist.

Aluminum frame + plywood shell, robust and impact‑resistant for touring transport.

Pre‑cut shock‑absorbing EVA inner foam fixes hoist and accessories firmly, preventing collision damage.

Reinforced corners, heavy‑duty latches and comfortable handles for repeated loading & unloading.

Dust‑proof and splash‑proof, stackable design to save transport and storage space.

Ideal for rental fleets, touring shows and frequent on‑site rigging work. Optional wheels available.

Q1: What is the difference between a stage hoist and a regular industrial electric chain hoist?

A1: Although they look similar, they are engineered for completely different working conditions. Stage hoists are designed for overhead rigging with personnel underneath, which requires redundant safety design including independent dual brake. They adopt low‑noise transmission, matte anti‑reflection casing, support inverted mounting and frequent start‑stop cyclic duty. Ordinary industrial hoists are normally for floor‑level material handling, not intended for overhead suspension where people stand below.

Q2: What is duty cycle / cyclic rating of your stage hoist?

A2: Our stage hoist is designed for high cyclic duty typical for entertainment rigging. It can sustain frequent start‑stop operations, repeated lifting and lowering within short periods, matching the working pattern of rehearsals and live shows. Continuous running is allowed within the limit of the heat‑dissipation system. For heavy daily rental use, we can provide higher‑duty models upon request.

Q3: Can the hoist be fitted with load cell / load monitoring system?

A3: Yes. Load cell and real‑time load monitoring system are available as an optional upgrade. It can display the actual hanging weight and trigger an alarm once approaching the limit, offering extra safety protection for large truss rigging projects.

Q4: What type of limit switches do you use? Are they adjustable?

A4: We adopt both upper and lower mechanical limit switches as standard. They are adjustable on site, allowing technicians to set safe travel range according to stage height, avoiding chain over‑winding or over‑unwinding.

Q5: Can the hoist run at variable speed?

A5: Variable frequency (VFD) speed control is optional. VFD version provides smooth soft start and soft stop, no sudden jerking when starting or stopping lifting. This is highly valued for delicate stage scenery and LED wall lifting. Standard fixed‑speed models are also available for budget‑oriented orders.
