All installations follow manufacturer specifications and relevant safety standards.

Automation solutions involving synchronised chain hoists and controlled motion systems are delivered in collaboration with specialist technicians.

Projects requiring coordinated lifting or scenic movement are assessed individually to ensure appropriate technical capacity and compliance.

Automation services are currently delivered through partner specialists and may be subject to capacity limitations depending on project scale.

Please contact us to discuss automation requirements at an early planning stage.

Available Through Specialist Technicians

• Synchronized chain hoist movement
• Controlled lifting sequences
• Coordinated multi-point motion
• Scenic movement systems
• Event-based motion effects

Automation systems are operated and programmed by qualified automation technicians.

Project Assessment

Automation requirements are reviewed on a project-by-project basis, considering:

• Technical complexity
