Combined Rotary and Lifting Stage

A rotary stage combined with programmable stage lifts is a motion-based mechanical solution for theatrical and live-event stages, enabling simultaneous 360° rotation and independent vertical lifting across multiple areas of the same stage platform . The system can be configured with a modular rotary stage ranging from approximately Ø4–18 m , with a reference rotational speed of 1–6 rpm , combined with multiple stage-lift modules that can be customized in terms of dimensions, stroke, working load and speed. Through a PLC-based control system , position, speed, acceleration, timing, cues and timecode can be programmed to coordinate multiple movements according to the stage show sequence. This solution is suitable for concerts, game shows, festivals and large-scale productions requiring continuous scene transitions, elevation changes and real-time spatial reconfiguration during performances.

Stage Rotating Platform

A modular rotating stage is a motion-stage solution designed for productions that require real-time changes in spatial configuration and viewing angles. Featuring fan-shaped modules, radial beams, and concentric structural rings, the system can be configured from approximately Ø4 m to Ø18 m depending on the venue layout, load requirements, and staging concept. Driven by multiple motors, running on a dedicated rail system, and controlled through PLC/VFD technology, the rotating stage can operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, with adjustable rotation speeds and programmable operating cues. The solution is suitable for concerts, television productions, festivals, exhibitions, product launches, and large-scale live events. A scalable motion-stage solution from Ø4 m to Ø18 m

Cable-Driven Stage Lift

A customized stage lift platform is a lifting solution designed and developed to meet the specific requirements of individual stage, event, exhibition, or multipurpose auditorium spaces. The system can be customized in terms of shape, dimensions, load capacity, lifting travel, speed, synchronization level, and control method , ranging from a standalone lifting platform to multiple modules operating in synchronized coordination. This document is intended to introduce the solution’s capabilities and provide a basis for initial requirement collection. Manufacturing specifications, structural calculations, and safety measures must be determined separately for each project. SCOPE: This document serves as a preliminary capability and requirement-collection reference. It does not replace project-specific manufacturing drawings, structural calculations, or commissioning and acceptance certificates.

Rail-Guided Recessed Stage Lift

The gear rack-driven recessed stage lift is a lifting solution designed for installation inside a technical pit beneath the stage floor. It allows the lift platform to move from a lowered position below floor level to a position flush with the stage floor when required for performances. The preliminary design uses a geared motor with synchronized drive on both sides through a gear-and-rack mechanism , providing an approximate 2,000 mm lifting stroke and a WLL of 250 kg under uniformly distributed load . The system is suitable for performance stages, studios, multipurpose rooms, and other spaces where the lifting mechanism needs to remain concealed.
