ETC Prodigy Hoists & QuickTouch Controls

ETC Prodigy™ Hoists do the heavy lifting

Lower and raise stage backdrops, curtains, lighting truss, projections screens, house lights, etc. at the touch of a button.

• over-stage
• front-of-house
• height-restricted spaces
• retrofitted spaces
• architecturally sensitive spaces

Safer

Personnel stay on the ground while scenery, lighting gear, curtains and screens are raised and lowered via smart controls which meet or exceed industry standards.

Greater Flexibility

ETC Rigging™ -- with the smartest controls and automated hoists available, facilitates quick, affordable and safe solutions to varied, innovative productions, offering the kind of flexibility typically associated with an extensive and expensive architecture of catwalks.

Tranformative

Prodigy Hoists are able to transform sensitive, existing environments - whether a house of worship or a performance space in a repurposed building - discreetly adding modern rigging capabilities, flexibilty, convenience and safety otherwise unachieveable.

Labor Saving

Multipurpose spaces are effortlessly transformed between uses, quickly and without the need for additional personnel.

Savings for New Construction and Renovation

In addition to enhanced safety and lower operation costs, ETC Rigging offers significant upfront costs savings for both new construction and renovation projects

Savings for New Construction and Renovation

In addition to enhanced safety and lower operation costs, ETC Rigging offers significant upfront costs savings for both new construction and renovation projects.

• ETC Rigging does not require additional costly, steel beams because it can be installed on the same bar or web joists specified for the rest of your structure. The Prodigy Compression Tube absorbs and disperses the structural stress generated by other rigging systems.
• Eliminates the costs associated with catwalks and loading galleries.
• No additional ceiling heights required. Prodigy and the Cable Management System retract to 30 inches of compactness, facilitating rigging solutions in structures not originally designed for rigging. Other manufacturers' hoist systems typically require up to six feet of retraction space.
• Lower labor and installation costs are acheived as smart details make it simpler to install and require fewer installers.
