Rope Services Direct supplies a range of specifically designed theatre cable for use at theatres and events. The big stage tends to have unique requirements; camouflaging and invisibility tend to be sought after requirements which are much less important in other industries. Health and safety in theaters is top priority.
Alongside this, the entertainment industry also relies heavily on the other benefits that wire rope provides, namely its strength and long service life. The lifting products in this industry often find multiple uses. Stage erection and set production are good examples of use. Rigging, controlling lighting, or perhaps even lifting and lowering the actors are common uses.
Many types of hoists are used within this industry, such as Stagemaker lifting hoists. Their primary lifting medium is often wire rope. Only the very best equipment can be used by those working within this industry. This is because of the delicate nature of some of these operations, That’s where our theatre cables come in.
Galvanized black steel cable is particularly popular for theatre cable use. Camouflaging is easier thanks to its black colour which diffuses the stage lighting. However, we can supply a range of colours in various widths and lengths to meet your exact requirements.
Our theatre cable is typically used with a range of end fittings, such as shackles, that allow it to be utilised with entertainment setups in various ways. You can find out more about our wire rope fittings here. Some cables also come supplied with a strong PVC coating.
Using our own facilities, we are able to manufacture, test and supply bespoke theatre cables suitable for your exact specifications.
