Theater Roll Drops
Perfect for situations where fly space is limited, Thern Stage Equipment roll drops are ideal for venues with overhead constraints, allowing you to save room and heighten your performance. From fabric backdrops, screens, acoustic curtains, and other soft good materials, a stage roll drop allows your venue to incorporate dynamic elements that may otherwise be impossible.
Product Description
Our roll drops consist of a long, motorized aluminum roller hoist to securely raise, lower, and store all kinds of soft stage elements. Thern’s compact and convenient roll drops are available in fixed and variable speeds, while drop heights and lengths can be customized to suit specific needs for theaters and other venues with space limitations. Controls are sold separately and are also available in single or variable speeds.
Built to last, our components are made of durable, heavy-duty materials. We guarantee consistent service life for your Thern Stage Equipment roll drops by offering a two-year limited warranty to make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
