SINGLE PURCHASE COUNTERWEIGHT RIGGING SYSTEM
Excellent counterweight rigging systems are the
backbone of any highly successful theatrical production.
Supporting lighting, audio/video equipment,
and drapery above the stage performance space is
absolutely crucial.
Theatrical equipment is connected to the batten at
stage level, while weights to balance the load are
introduced to the carriage and the position of the
scenery is adjusted manually by theater technical
staff.
The batten is supported by lift lines, which run over
the loft blocks and converge at the head block. These
collect the lift lines and operating line, guiding them
to the counterweight carriage. Operation of the line
set is controlled with the operating line and rope lock
on the locking rail. The carriage is held in place with a
captive guiding system constructed of JOEL Rigging
T-Bar into a wall frame structure.
