Product Description

Comprised of a hoist installed inside of an aluminum truss, wire rope winds onto drums that are rigidly mounted within the truss to raise and lower lighting, curtains, drapes, scenery, and other equipment. The truss can simplify complex lifting loads on a building and expedite installation. Lift lines connect to the overhead structure for a convenient, complete solution with no machinery mounted to the structure. The Thern Stage Equipment self-climbing truss is an excellent solution for front-of-house lighting where a stable and versatile lighting position is needed.

Made to last, our components are comprised of durable, heavy-duty materials. We guarantee consistent service life for your Thern Stage Equipment self-climbing truss by offering a two-year limited warranty to make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
