Brickhouse™ Front-Loading Arbors
Safer. Faster. Innovative. With a revolutionary front-loading design, Thern Stage Equipment Brickhouse™ arbors deliver a level of convenience and security that’s superior to traditional side-loading arbors. Bricks install faster and safer from the front of the arbor and can be loaded on any shelf to easily counterbalance your scenery, lighting, curtains, and various other production elements — no more loading from the bottom up. Hold more weight, more securely, and in less space, to travel longer distances.
Product Description
First of its kind, our Brickhouse™ Front-Loading Arbor is an enclosed counterweight arbor carriage that entirely contains the weights with integrated shelves. Designed to be ergonomically friendly for all users, weights are loaded and unloaded from the front of the arbor, rather than the side, onto the steel shelves. The arbor can ride in most existing guide walls or be incorporated with a Thern Stage Equipment guide wall. The arbor guide shoes rotate back automatically, allowing for easy installation and smooth and quiet operation along the guide wall.
We use components that are made to last, featuring durable, heavy-duty construction and high-quality materials. We guarantee consistent service life for your Brickhouse™ arbor by offering a two-year limited warranty to make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
