Our range of understage equipment includes:
- Hall elevators

Hall transformation systems
Event halls with multifunctional technical possibilities are becoming ever more popular. Hall operators and event organisers expect that a wide variety of events can be run to a tight schedule and with minimum staffing requirements.
There are a vast range of possibilities and demands on hall spaces from level to rising floors, depending on whether the event is a congress, a trade fair, a banquet or indeed a theatre or concert performance. A hall conversion system can meet these requirements, even for more specialised needs such as smaller spaces or when integrated air-conditioning technology is required.
Our hall conversion systems include:
- Rotating floors
- Sliding gates
- Motorised partition walls
- Lifting gates
- Lifting handrails
- Ceilings
Safety systems
A core element of stage machinery is the right safety equipment to project against fire such as iron curtains and smoke extraction systems. Here the right design is essential to ensure reliable operation.
Our safety systems and fire protection equipment:
- Iron curtains
- Smoke flaps
- Smoke hoods
- Protective curtains
- Fire-resistant gates
- Smoke shutters
- Fireproof curtains
Transport and storage systems
With the right transport and storage technology, parts of the scenery as well as entire stage sets that are currently idle can be kept in the side stage areas during the performance or stored in or outside the venue for longer periods. This helps save space and time!
Our transport and storage systems:
- Set elevators
- Scenery storage systems
- Paternoster systems
- Scenery elevators
- Transport elevators
