The Revolution - specification

Unusual Rigging, The UK’s largest supplier of specialist technical rigging services to the entertainment and presentation industry showcased their new point hoist The Revolution at the ABTT Show this June. Unusual have rigged many of the large scale London musicals in recent years and also the tours following West End runs. The increasing size and complexity of the shows has brought a specific desire to provide a more flexible and efficient winch solution, which is quick and easy to use. Unusual have responded to the need with the development of their new point hoist called The Revolution.






It is presented within standard 52cm x 52cm aluminium truss and travels in conventional roadboxes. A comprehensive set of accessories and diverters enable the winches to be easily included within truss runs, mothergrids and truss legs with the wire leaving the unit at the required angle.

Configuration is flexible, hence making The Revolution relevant to a "variety of applications. Single or multiple use within truss runs with either single or double wires on each winch. The winch can also be used from the floor. Running at 3m per second with a 300kg safe working load at a factor of safety of 5:1 or man riding with a 150kg safe working load at a factor of safety of 10:1, this extremely fast winch has a single 6mm diameter wire travel of 30 metres. A double wire configuration delivers 14 metres of travel. Self weight of the winch is 200kgs.

The Revolution offers a new option for working loads and man riding requirements for the entertainment industry. Units could be on the road as part of a touring rig or they could also be part of the inventory of a venue to offer a more flexible space. Speed of installation and ease of use will be of immense benefit in fast fit-up and turnaround times.
