Showtech Australia Beefs Up Rigging Capabilities with MOVEKET

Showtech Australia, a leading provider of specialised rigging services and equipment in the entertainment industry, has made a significant investment with the purchase of 44 MOVEKET ProStage+ chain hoists. The purchase of the ProStage+ 1000kg hoists (in both the 24m and 36m variants) represents a key move to align with evolving safety standards while enhancing operational efficiency for upcoming projects.

Tiny Good, Director of Showtech Australia, emphasised the importance of this purchase for the company’s future. “These are a new type of hoist that have become a standard in Australia, meeting the D8+ safety requirement, part of the European EN 17206 ‘Machinery for Stages’ standard,” said Tiny Good. “Since we had long-term contracts lined up, it was the right time to update our fleet and ensure compliance with the regulations.”

Known for its rigorous standards in event rigging, Showtech Australia carefully evaluated multiple hoist models before deciding on MOVEKET. “We chose the MOVEKET ProStage+ hoists for their superior build quality and lightweight design, which outperforms others in their class,” Tiny Good explained.

“Even though we paid more, the investment in better quality equipment ensures a longer lifespan and greater reliability, especially when operating in Australia’s demanding touring environment.”
