Stage Bar Hoists, Single-Point Hoists and Motorized Fly Bar Systems

Power-operated bar hoists (舞台吊杆) and single-point hoists (单点吊机) for flying scenery, lighting and effects in theatres, studios, multi-purpose halls and touring shows. Wire-rope winch drives with dual brakes and encoder-based travel control, supplied as single units or as a complete motorized fly bar system.

Safety and control features

  • Dual brakes — each brake system can stop the load independently.
  • Over-rated components — all parts between the load and the brakes are designed above the rated load.
  • Travel control — encoder-based travel control (dual encoders on the Z series; absolute encoder on the SFZ series) for accurate positioning of scenery and lighting.
  • Rope management — self-aligning rope spooling (Z and SFZ series), with rope-disorder, slack-rope or overlapping-rope detection depending on the model, to prevent rope jumping and tangling.
  • Control — suitable for standalone or integrated control.

Motorized fly bar systems

A motorized fly bar system combines bar hoists, battens, single-point hoists and a control system. Power-operated bar hoists and single-point hoists are part of the group’s above-stage equipment scope; in August 2019 the group received CETA Technology Progress Awards for stage machinery, including first prize for the multifunctional self-aligning rope winch and second prizes for the mobile and multi-point self-aligning rope winches. The number of bars, lifting points per bar, speed and control layout are engineered for each venue. For lighting positions see motorized lighting battens; for rotating effects see the electric rotating lifting batten.

FAQ

What is the difference between a bar hoist and a single-point hoist?

A bar hoist lifts a batten on several wire-rope lifting points; a single-point hoist lifts on one rope for point loads, effects or individual pick-up points.

Can several hoists run synchronized?

Yes. Hoists are suitable for standalone or integrated control; group moves and synchronization are defined in the project control design.

How are price, lead time and warranty handled?

We quote ex-works (EXW, collected from our factory) or on terms negotiated in the contract. Lead time and warranty are set for each project.

Can you support installation outside China?

Yes. We can send engineers abroad to guide installation together with your local contractor.
