OnStage Hawai’i Rigs with LIFTKET for Safety

 

Safety is the reason OnStage Hawai’i rigs with LIFTKET chain motors.

What makes them safer is the braking: every LIFTKET carries two independent brakes, so if power drops or the primary brake ever fails, the second engages on its own and holds the load exactly where it is; a redundancy the standard hoists most production companies use don’t have.

That matters because these motors carry the truss, lighting, audio, and video suspended over performers, crews, and audiences at nearly every event.

LIFTKET motors cost about twice as much as the common alternative, and OnStage Hawai’i considers that worth every dollar to keep the people underneath safe.
