Sandbags and Rope Line Rigging

The simplest, and oldest, method of flying scenery uses a series of ropes. The lines run from the batten to the grid, over the loft blocks, then to one side of stage house where they pass over the head blocks and then down to the pin rail where they are tied off. This method is particularly useful for temporary lines or smaller pieces of scenery. Sandbags can be added to help with counterbalance.

Counterweight Systems

In the counterweight system the ropes of the rope line rigging have been replaced by steel cables which run from a pipe batten to the grid. The cables are of such a length that when the batten is accessible from the floor the arbor is at the top of the stage house under grid. Weights are loaded onto the arbor to counterbalance of the scenery on the batten.

Motorize Your System

If motorized rigging systems winches are used in place of the counterweight arbors and weights. Curtains and scenery are lifted or moved with the flip of the switch. Any theatre, auditorium or studio can use this system. Depending on your facility a combination of winches and counterweight system may provide the solution you're looking for..
