Stage systems that pass the audit and survive the next staff handover.

Yes - that's how we prefer to run school work. We book the site visit before the break, scope the job, then install and certify during the holiday window so students and staff come back to a hall that's ready. We map the whole programme to your term calendar, not ours.

We walk the hall and document the stage systems as found - fly bars, hoists and rigging, drape stock and its FR status, and the asset register the fire officer and your insurer will ask for. You get a written report with what's current, what's overdue, and a prioritised list costed to your next budget cycle. No teardown required to get the baseline.

Yes. Drapes and rigging sit under the same programme, so a single visit covers FR-treatment recertification windows, fly system condition, hoist servicing and drape track maintenance - one report, one schedule, one invoice. Fewer contractors through the school, fewer purchase orders to raise.

Lifting and rigging work is delivered against AS 4991 and D8 Plus where applicable. Drape FR treatment is delivered against AS 1530. Electrical testing against AS/NZS 3760. Where the school or your department has stricter insurer requirements, we work to whichever standard is stricter and document it.

A short, stocked list covers almost every hall. Overhead, the TSA pile hoist at 500 kg WLL is the usual fit: fixed to the structure, up to 14 m of travel, an Up/Down push-button with E-Stop and nothing else to learn, made in Australia to AS 1418.2. Where the roof suits a chain hoist, the EXE Rise range runs 350, 500, 1000, 2000 and 2500 kg, D8 Plus at 8:1 with double brakes. The EXE Ace (500 kg three-phase, 250 kg single-phase) is the D8 install hoist and is never used to hang anything over people. On the curtain side, Triple E track carries the drape - Erail for a hall, UniTrack for a house curtain in nightly use, UniBeam where the grid can't carry the drape on its own. Where the curtain is driven rather than hand-drawn, the TSA CW-1 winch runs on Erail and UniBeam and handles drapes up to 60 m wide from a wall-mounted Open/Close/Stop cabinet. The full list is on the page under the kit, and we confirm every specification on quote.

That's exactly why we document it. Operator training is delivered against a written safe scope and handed over as a record the school keeps - so when a teacher or AV coordinator moves on, the next person inherits the procedures, not a guess. We can refresh it on the annual return visit as your team turns over.
