VERLINDE has announced an expanded collaboration with the Stagemaker brand, extending the reach of the Stagemaker SR series of chain hoists for live entertainment, theatre and events rigging across VERLINDE's European and MENA distribution network. The Stagemaker SR series — designed specifically for truss and load flying applications — will now be supported by VERLINDE's full after-sales and service infrastructure in all markets where VERLINDE is present.
The Stagemaker SR range includes hoists from 125 kg to 2,000 kg rated load, designed to meet the specific requirements of the entertainment industry including BGV C1 classification, low noise operation and compact dimensions for integration into standard theatrical rigging systems. The partnership gives Stagemaker products access to VERLINDE's established service network, ensuring rapid spare parts availability and certified technical support for live event operators.
"Live entertainment is a demanding application with tight performance deadlines and uncompromising safety requirements," said VERLINDE's Director of Business Development. "By combining VERLINDE's distribution and service strength with Stagemaker's specialised product knowledge, we can offer the entertainment industry a more complete and reliable solution than either company could provide independently."
