In late 2005, the Aurora Theatre Company started planning their new theatre. This would be their first permanent home, so they contacted the team of Georgia Stage and Barbizon Atlanta for assistance with technical planning.
Much of the theatrical lighting would be over the audience in areas that would be difficult to access using a ladder or personnel lift. The answer was to use three PowerLift hoists to raise and lower the lighting battens for easy access.
Additionally, three general purpose automated PowerLift hoists were provided over the stage. As these will be used for many purposes, variable speed units were chosen for their flexibility. The speed range of 0-120 fpm allows subtle or dramatic movement for scenic elements. The 1250 lb. capacity also allows the sets to act as utility hoists, to carry lighting equipment or curtains.
For further flexibility, a SceneControl 500 rigging automation console lets the user operate the equipment simply.
