GIS electric chain hoists on tour with DAS ZELT

DAS ZELT is on the road all year round with a varied programme of shows throughout Switzerland. The modern tent infrastructure also includes a fleet of GIS LP series electric chain hoists, which are ideal for touring.
The tent infrastructure includes a modern rigging system for lighting and sound

DAS ZELT is the largest touring theatre in Switzerland and has been touring through the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland and Ticino for over 20 years. All year round, it delights thousands with a varied programme that includes national stars from the worlds of comedy, music and theatre as well as international entertainers. In addition to public events, DAS ZELT is also a sought-after partner for private events and offers comprehensive organisation from the location, catering and technology to the individual entertainment programme - everything from a single source.

The mobile tent infrastructure, which offers space for up to 3,500 people, is equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lighting and video technology. The rigging system includes a fleet of LP500 and LP1000 GIS electric chain hoists for 500 kg and 1000 kg load capacities respectively in the D8+ version. This version enables loads to be held safely above people - an indispensable standard in the event sector. All GIS motors suspended from the tent ceiling have the task of lifting and holding the trusses fitted with spotlights and loudspeakers and, of course, lowering them back to the ground at the end of the performance. Thanks to their compact and robust design and low weight, GIS electric chain hoists are ideal for mobile use and touring. The motors are transported from one venue to another in space-saving flight cases.

At the end of November, DAS ZELT was a guest in Solothurn, where the audience was able to experience highlights such as the comedy duo Divertimento and the X-Mas show, an entertaining mix of comedy, concert and circus. Guest performances in Wettingen, Bern and Winterthur will follow in the coming months. In addition to the X-Mas show, Swiss music stars such as Francine Jordi and Florian Ast and comedians such as Claudio Zuccolini and Chris Tall will also take to the stage.
