Baltimore Symphony - 1 of 2 Yo-Yo winches for a Contour Curtain

A yo-yo winch allows for a zero fleet drive line to lift or pull an object. These hoists are designed for the cable to stack on top of itself therefore their load capabilities can be limiting.

Arena Masking

Live Nation- (10) line winch for outdoor wind loads. Locations: Charlotte - NC, Phoenix - AZ, San Antonio - TX, Bristol -CO

A common problem for arenas: Smaller events attract smaller crowds and entire seating sections remain empty. In order to provide the intimacy of a smaller space and the appearance of a sold out arena those seating sections need to be masked. Putting up conventional dead hung masking curtains in an arena can be a time consuming and difficult task with less than attractive results. With our motorized arena masking solutions you can deploy custom masking with the push of a button in a matter of minutes.
