Counterweight Assist Hoist

Streamline every performance and modernize your venue with reliable, high-quality counterweight rigging equipment. Thern Stage Equipment’s counterweight assist hoist is a motorized alternative to traditional, manually operated counterweight rigging sets — one that doesn’t need adjustment every time the load changes. From lighting to speakers, scenery, and curtains, this hoist can handle it all efficiently and quickly.

Product Description

Our motorized counterweight assist hoist securely lifts a stage batten loaded with up to 3,000 lbs of stage elements without moving a single counterweight brick (it does require 1,500 lbs of counterweight loaded in the arbor). The unit also contains a quick mounting plate that makes installation simple and easy.

Thern Stage Equipment’s counterweight assist hoist is designed to last and made with durable, heavy-duty materials. We guarantee consistent service life for your counterweight assist hoist by offering a two-year limited warranty to make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
