Entertainment industry

GIS electric chain hoists are used worldwide in theatres, schools, sports centres, multi-purpose halls, arenas, convention centres, TV studios and on concert tours. Thanks to their quiet operation, compact design and low weight, they are ideally suited to the special requirements of the entertainment industry.

Whether as a permanent installation in opera houses and multifunctional arenas, such as in Sydney, Berlin and Zurich, or as a climbing hoist at mobile events, our customers appreciate the reliability, operational safety and durability of GIS electric chain hoists.
