Mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) lifting equipment has numerous applications in the events and entertainment industry. Not only can these machines ensure safe rigging, installations, and set-ups, but they can also facilitate a faster turnaround. This ensures that events are set up quickly and efficiently.
Here are some of the ways that MEWP lifting equipment is used in events and entertainment:
Lighting And Rigging Setup
Events commonly require lighting and rigging to be set up overhead, whether at concert venues, theatres, or outdoor events. Reaching these high areas can be dangerous without the right equipment, which is where a MEWP comes in handy.
These boom lifts provide technicians with the necessary reach to rig lighting and other structures safely and efficiently, allowing them to take their tools up and providing a stable platform for extended work at height.
Set Construction And Decoration
When assembling large stage sets or hanging decorations in event spaces, it is necessary to have the right kind of access equipment to do so safely and quickly. Whether it’s setting up a complex stage backdrop, setting up large props, or hanging intricate decor arrangements, MEWPs enable safe access to these elevated areas.
The platform allows for the quick and easy manoeuvring of various stage elements, helping workers get into the necessary position to secure set pieces at height without endangering themselves.
Audio-Visual Equipment Installation
Many events, such as festivals, conferences, and live performances, need high-quality audio and visual equipment to be set up as part of the show. These installations could include things like speakers, large video screens, or projectors.
Not only are these pieces of equipment expensive and fragile, but they are also heavy and require an MEWP to provide the worker with the necessary access to the high-mounted positions where the audio-visual equipment needs to be installed.
The MEWP can also provide access to maintain this equipment, ensuring that precise alignment and optimal sound and visuals are achieved during events.
