Chain and Motor Hoists W BUYERS GUIDE
BUYERSGUIDE Chain and Motor Hoists W By JustinLang ho doesn’t need a lift or pick-me-up from time to time? This month we look at that very problem — not for you, but for whatever you are trying to raise into the air. Chain and motor hoists are the least-sexiest products in our industry. They get little recognition, but do all the work. On the other hand, they deserve the most attention. They are vital to literally getting our shows off the ground. It takes more than just looking at a product and the simple form that we have here to choose the best product for your lift. There are a number of factors to consider such as weight limits, height, speed of motion and power requirements to name a few. Safety and proper procedures should be the starting point. From there it takes careful design and preparation to layout a lifting plan for any size rig. All of the manufacturers listed here are more than willing to help you determine the best product to help you achieve what you are looking to do. As with any of our Buyers Guides, readers should use this listing as a starting point to get an idea of what is available and some of the things you want to look for in your next motor or hoist purchase. Also be sure to take advantage of the increasing array of training alternatives out there to add to your knowledge of entertainment rigging. Not only will you be more knowledgeable, you’ll probably gain a new appreciation for all of the safety efforts and care that goes into lifting thousands of pounds of equipment over your head.
