This year, Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products has used its versatile THETA safety electric wire rope winch to raise and lower the lighting in St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamburg's St. Georg district. There, 19 new electric wire rope winches from the Pfaff-silberblau brand world are now replacing the previous winches, which still had to be cranked by hand.
Moving the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling electrically facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the lamps and saves a lot of time on all the work that needs to be done. The THETA electric wire rope winches can be easily operated with a normal connection voltage of 230 V (50 Hz). The compact winch, specially designed for the static suspension of loads over people, is perfect for historic buildings and their lighting technology
Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products supplied three BGV C1 BETA wire rope winches for this year's stage programme on the lake stage of the Bregenz Festival. The winches adjust the heavy sections of the stage floor, the so-called collar. The movements of the stage character provide a real show experience at the performances of Rigoletto, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, which ended this year's season in mid-August.
