The contemporary theater counterweight lifting system has existed since the 16th century and is still installed today in Quebec and around the world.
As a masterpiece in counterbalance rigging systems, our group has been manufacturing its own components for nearly 40 years, which allows us to offer high quality, safe and locally manufactured solutions and products!
Motorized systems offer other advantages, but your venue may not have the financial means or the ideal space to have them installed. No matter what type of rigging system you want, we will be there to advise you and offer you the solution that best suits your needs.
