Working in the Entertainment Industry presents unique challenges that require creative and effective solutions. We understand how important it is to ensure your performance goes off without a hitch. At Autoquip, we offer customizable, affordable, and innovative lift solutions to help maximize your set or performance area. 

Types of Lifts for the Entertainment Industry

We work in a wide range of industries, from aerospace and agriculture to retail and entertainment. Given our experience in the entertainment industry, we understand how quickly your needs change. That’s why we offer both permanent and temporary stage lift solutions. How else can we help you wow your audience?

Stage Lifts

We can install complex lift systems designed to raise and lower one or more sections of the stage. This is a popular method for moving sections in the performances to make room for other things that need to come on stage at different times.

Temporary Stage Lifts

Just as the needs of the entertainment industry are often changing, we offer temporary lift options to go along with our permanent options. We can install one or more scissor lifts that can raise and lower a common stage platform. 

Light Fixture Lifts

Ensure your audience can see everything that’s going on in bright color! This lift raises to full height when lighting is required and collapses to a hidden height when the lights are not in use. As a result, this can help light up the stage while also properly utilizing your limited space. 

Scenery Lifts 

It can be difficult managing your limited space. It can be even more difficult accessing hard to reach areas in a timely manner. Scenery lifts allow you to load scenery from storage level to stage level and back. We use high-level scissor lifts, ram lifts, and vertical reciprocating conveyors to help make this a possibility. 

Seating Lifts

Sometimes it’s the audience who needs to move. Seating lifts help you achieve variable seating heights for extended periods of time. We use a system of hydraulic scissor lifts, which share a common seating surface. They are then equipped with mechanical locking devices to help ensure the section is secured. 

Controls Systems for Lifting Equipment

You can have complete and total control of your entertainment lift with Autoquip’s new AQ Connect intelligent controls system. This technology is available as an option across the entire Autoquip product line. Get the ultimate control you need with accessibility not possible with outdated control systems. We can even outfit underwater lifts with intelligent control systems. 

AQ Connect offers remote monitoring to deliver advanced oversight and automatic controls from a distance. Move and manage stage elements with simple control logic and HMI through a custom-manufactured stage lift designed for your production.

Entertainment Industry Custom Lift Solutions

You offer a unique production and Autoquip can deliver custom lift options to fit those needs. We can custom build lifts with rotating platforms and other configurations that are specifically designed for your stage needs. 

From controls and safety to mobility and platform configurations, we work hard to ensure your needs are met in the entertainment industry. We also place an emphasis on safety. Our lifts are built specifically for your theatre and entertainment center venue floor layout. With Autoquip lifts, you can ensure the crew and audience safely enjoy the show. 

Set The Stage of Success
