STAGEMAKER motors lower the beam on
which lighting, microphones, cameras or
video projectors used for the performance
will be fixed to place them at the right
height when required. Using this
equipment, adjustments or modifications
are fast and easy. Lastly, disassembly by
the technical team after performances is
very much faster resulting in improved
profits for the producer!”
STAGEMAKER SR10, a well thought out
decision
Filip Van Vlem: “We have worked closely
with VERLINDE for many, many years,
both for our rentals business and for the
studio equipment business and from
time to time we suggest improvements
that are integrated in the development of
products. Safety is decisive for us because
equipment placed in the arched supports
by the motors are just above performers,
presenters and the public. We can take no
risks whatsoever. Le STAGEMAKER SR10,
with its lifting capacity of up to 1 tonne, is
the first guarantee, backed by the double
lifting brake, the torque limiter and the
electric limit switch, safety features we
consider indispensable. For our operations,
hoist speed is not a decisive factor. On the
other hand, motors must run smoothly,
with or without load, to ensure that
equipment fixed on the arched support is
not subjected to jerking.
As for the control of motors, we have
standardized the type of control panel,
there also for the question of safety. We
can control motors individually or by
groups just by pressing a single button.”
STAGEMAKER above the performance.
Collaboration between VERLINDE and
AED goes back a long way and is based
on a mutual awareness of needs with an
ongoing concern for quality and for the
provision of reliable equipment. Since
STAGEMAKER motors were installed in the
Lint studios, they have operated above
the filming of “Iron Sky”, “A quiet passion”,
“Aéroport” and the following TV series:
“Belgium’s Got Talent”, “So You Think You
Can Dance”, “Wouf”. The arched supports of
the studios are only their birthplace, that’s
for sure!
AED Rent and VERLINDE, partners full of
confidence.
The partnership between the two
companies is highlighted by the figures
that speak for themselves. Currently,
motors SR1 (250kg), SR5 (500kg) and
SR10 (1 tonne) are available at AED
Rent (delivered in compliance with D8+
requirements) and if VRH/PHD manual
hoists are included there are more than
5000 VERLINDE products in stock at AED
Rent.
