Increased capacity and more safety features enable bigger moves with confidence on stage.
Creative Conners, Inc., creators of the popular Spikemark™️ stage automation software and Stagehand motion control, announce the release of Spotline v2. Here’s a video overview of the Spotline v2 Hoist:
Since its initial release in 2013, Spotline hoists have been used at over 50 venues worldwide and countless performances. The ease of installation, quick performance speed, thoughtful safety features, and effortless programming in Spikemark have earned Spotline the status of an automation workhorse. Building on that success, Creative Conners sought to improve the hoist with extended capacity and more safety features.
Spotline v2 makes flying scenery or performers easier than ever. The increased payload capacity allows heavier scenic elements to be hoisted. The extended lifting height makes Spotline v2 more useful in large theatres, and better suited for corporate events or live concerts held in arenas.
Additional safety sensors improve confidence on stage by ensuring problems are detected before a dangerous condition develops. Each hoist is equipped with a load cell for constant monitoring and will halt motion in both overweight and underweight situations. Cross-groove sensors stop movement if the lifting media jumps a groove on the helically wound drum. Learn more at: cci.fyi/spotline
