J.R. Clancy’s PowerAssist
J.R. Clancy’s PowerAssist™ winch is designed for retrofitting existing counterweight rigging systems. It can be used to automate just a few sets or a complete rigging system, eliminating the need to handle counterweights and the concerns associated with out of balance sets. Fixed speed units are available for motorizing lighting sets, shell ceilings and other utility sets. Variable speed units allow automation of scenery sets, providing a complete range of dynamic movement. By upgrading existing sets, the cost is as little as half the cost of replacing sets with conventional winches.
