Applications
Stage Wagon Propulsion – Powers the movement of rolling stage wagons carrying scenery, performers, or musical equipment.
Sliding Scenery Tracks – Enables smooth lateral movement of scenery panels and backdrops across the stage.
Moving Platform Systems – Drives platform movements for theatre-in-the-round and arena productions.
Orchestra Pit Covers – Provides controlled horizontal movement of pit cover sections for flexible space utilization.
Automated Wing Storage – Powers retractable storage systems for scenery and props in theatre wing spaces.
Convention Center Divisible Walls – Operates heavy movable wall systems for flexible event space configuration.
Key Advantages
Zero-Fleet in Horizontal Orientation – Maintains perfect cable layering even when operating horizontally, preventing cable tangling and uneven wear.
Precision Positioning – Equipped with high-resolution encoders for accurate, repeatable positioning to within ±2mm.
Space-Saving Design – Compact footprint allows installation in restricted spaces including under-stage cavities and fly tower galleries.
Continuous Duty Rating – Designed for frequent, repetitive movement with thermal protection for extended operation.
Soft Start/Stop – Integrated variable frequency drives provide smooth acceleration and deceleration, protecting both equipment and loads.
Low Maintenance – Sealed bearings and maintenance-free cable guides reduce ongoing service requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Horizontal Zero Fleet Winch be installed overhead for suspended moving elements?
A: Yes, the horizontal winch can be ceiling-mounted for applications requiring suspended horizontal movement, such as flying scenery tracks. Please specify the mounting orientation when ordering.
Q: How does this winch handle curves or non-linear paths?
A: For straight-line applications, the winch provides direct cable drive. For curved paths, we recommend combining with our sheave and cable guidance systems to redirect movement while maintaining zero-fleet cable management.
Q: What is the difference between single and double drum configurations?
A: Single drum winches pull from one direction, ideal for simple linear movement. Double drum winches provide bi-directional pulling capability with independent cable management, enabling complex movement patterns including synchronized push-pull operations.
Q: Is the winch suitable for outdoor amphitheatre applications?
A: Yes, with the optional IP65 weatherproof enclosure and corrosion-resistant coatings, the winch can operate reliably in outdoor environments including temporary festival stages and permanent amphitheatres.
