Typical solutions for Entertainment
The “CM” branded Lodestar D8+ is the state-of-the-art Entertainment Hoist solution of Columbus McKinnon. It is often used when you need lifting and lowering (of lighting bars etc.) in the same area as the audience is located. These hoists are specially designed to be “invisible” while doing their work right above the stage. The ”Pfaff-silberblau” brand provides special and customizable Lifting Technology solutions using winches and whenever you need to lift or move something that is not the typical lighting bar. The “Yale” brand is specialized on standard chain hoists, winches and hydraulics that can make a difference solving numerous challenges. With “Duff Norton”’s automated actuator systems (ASS), we create specialized solutions that are used in stadium scoreboards etc.
The following examples show how versatile and engineered CMCO solves challenges in different areas of the Entertainment industry.
