Regardless of whether you are organizing a concert, corporate meeting, trade show event, or theatrical performance, our lifting equipment makes sure that your lighting, sound systems, and stages are perfectly and safely placed in the required positions. We provide telescopic stands, crank-up towers, chain hoists, and motorized lifters from the top brands in the industry. Our equipment satisfies the expectations of any professional movie organization.
Advanced Mechanical and Motorized Technology
With precision machinery and the ability to change speed, our lifting equipment helps you raise your event’s technical game to industry level standards. These systems are operated by hand, drive motors, and use wireless remote control to help technical crews put your lighting designers’ and audio engineers’ equipment at the right positions. Because the machine has safety brakes and overload protection, both experienced riggers and trained operators do not experience problems while lifting at your event.
Flexible Equipment Solutions and Load Capacities
We can fit the equipment to match the needs of the venue’s height and weight restrictions since our offerings are flexible and scalable. Whether the need is for small speaker stands or huge chain hoists, we have an elevation option in stock to match any requirement. Besides giving you the best rental equipment, we assist at every step, such as load calculations, running safety inspections, providing training, and offering on-site support, which makes us the perfect choice for success in lifting operations.
Technical Excellence and Safety Operations
Advanced Load Handling Specifications
All of our lifting equipment is fitted with approved components to guarantee maximum strength and strong safety measures. It makes it possible for the cranes to do the same job and reach the same area even when there’s heavy rigging involved. Whatever you need to move, from lighting trusses to video screens or sound systems, it will travel smoothly and safely since dangerous oscillation is prevented. All the tests on our lifting equipment confirm their load strength and the safety devices are officially certified so that the equipment runs smoothly and safely.
Professional Installation and Rigging Support
Renting your lifting equipment from EventStarts lets you rely on a group of knowledgeable and experienced technicians who manage the whole installation and operation procedure. It is vital for us to make accurate load arrangements, use safe ties, and practice safety measures so your lifts go smoothly for the whole event. We assure that all our services are comprehensive, so you only need to focus on your stage production.
System Integration and Equipment Compatibility
We make sure that our lifting solutions fit well with all your existing infrastructure, including truss, lights, sound, and stages. Because the set up is harmonious, the load is well distributed with reduced risk and easier maintenance. Our well-trained technicians check for safety and provide all the hardware, such as shackles, slings, and safety cables, that helps set up a strong lifting system, suitable for your elevation needs and higher than the industry’s safety standards.
Equipment Packages and Safety Excellence
Comprehensive Lifting Package Options
Since all events have their own special types of elevation and safety concerns, our packages are developed to meet any situation with convenience and efficiency. You can use Standard Lifting Packages for easy and straightforward lighting and audio setup or Heavy-Duty Solutions for extensive rigging and several required installations. We can supply just the lifting equipment such as crank stands and add-ons, or we can provide everything, including motorized hoists, wireless controllers, assured rigging hardware, and a designated safety supervisor. Our technical systems cover all kinds of events, letting us handle speaker arrangements from 100 pounds to video walls that weigh 5,000-pounds.
Expert Consultation and Custom Rigging Design
With every package, you get complimentary advice on how to rig the lifting system for your unique production needs and for safety purposes. We obtain all the necessary details from you about your site’s needs and how much your load will weigh, then plan a lifting program to suit your requirements and adhere to your budget. On top of that, we ensure our prices are competitive to deliver the greatest value, even as we stick to meeting all safety rules and carrying out safe rigging processes.
Quality Assurance and Safety Commitment
Since keeping everyone safe is very important to us, the lifting equipment at EventStarts is always tested and proven reliable. When rigging happens and throughout your event, our rigging teams make sure to install and operate all stands, lifters, hoists, and any related rigging hardware based on the rules set by ANSI and OSHA. By carrying out preventive care and safety inspections, we try to avoid dangerous or disastrous situations that might affect the event or harm the crew. If your event relies on lifting equipment, EventStarts will see to it that everything is safe, works as it should, helps you avoid accidents, and leaves your team confident since all procedures are in compliance.
Professional Lifting Equipment for Safe Rigging Operations
Electric Chain Hoists for Heavy Lifting
When your production involves suspending substantial equipment loads from ceiling points or truss grids, hoists rental from EventStarts provides professional electric chain motors that lift equipment safely and precisely. Our CM Lodestar chain hoists in 1-ton and 2-ton capacities offer the lifting power needed for hanging speaker arrays, LED walls, scenic elements, and lighting rigs that exceed what manual labor can manage safely. These professional motors feature variable speed control allowing precise positioning, load limiters preventing overloading, and redundant safety systems meeting rigorous entertainment industry standards. Available with 60-foot or 80-foot chain lengths and three-phase power configurations, our hoists handle the vertical distances and power requirements of venues ranging from small theaters to major arenas. The Stagemaker systems include proper power distribution and cabling creating complete turnkey lifting solutions that trained riggers operate efficiently throughout load-in, show, and strike operations.
Manual Chain Hoists and Ground-Supported Lifters
Not every rigging situation requires electric power or involves overhead suspension, which is why EventStarts provides manual chain hoists and crank lifters addressing different lifting challenges. Our ProX manual chain hoists offer 1-ton capacity in compact packages perfect for venues prohibiting electric hoists, situations lacking appropriate power, or applications where manual control provides advantages over motorized systems. The mechanical advantage of chain hoists allows single operators to lift substantial loads safely using proper technique, making them essential tools for productions on tighter budgets or in locations with technical limitations. For ground-supported applications like raising truss spans on towers, our 18-foot crank lifters with 500-pound capacity provide mechanical lifting that eliminates dangerous manual lifting while maintaining simple operation requiring no electrical power or specialized training beyond basic safety procedures.
Complete Rigging Infrastructure and Accessories
Professional lifting operations require more than just motors and chains, needing proper attachment hardware, power distribution, and control systems ensuring safe coordinated operation. EventStarts provides beam clamps, tent clamps, and airwall hangers offering secure attachment points to various structural members, motion labs hoist distributors managing power and control for multiple motors simultaneously, and motor cables in appropriate lengths connecting hoists to power sources without creating trip hazards or voltage drops. This comprehensive approach to rigging infrastructure means receiving complete systems where every component works together as designed, rather than mixing incompatible equipment creating either operational frustrations or dangerous situations. Our riggers ensure proper load distribution across multiple lift points, coordinate motor speeds for balanced lifting, and implement safety procedures preventing accidents during the critical moments when expensive equipment and human safety depend on rigging performing exactly as intended.
At EventStarts, we care profoundly about rigging safety and proper lifting procedures in every installation we support. With over a decade of experience in entertainment rigging, we've developed deep respect for the forces involved in suspending heavy equipment overhead and the consequences when rigging fails. We love what we do, and that dedication manifests in our insistence on proper equipment selection, appropriate safety factors, and installation practices performed by trained professionals who understand that rigging is where production meets physics, and physics always wins if not properly respected.
