Steel Wire Rope Loop (Soft & Hard Eye)
Specifications
- Working load limits 100 kg - 1,000 kg
- Lengths 0.5 m - 13.2 m
- Hard (thimbled) eye, soft eye, or one of each; some PVC sheathed
The Steel Wire Rope Loop is a wire rope strop terminated with one soft eye and one hard eye, used to hang loads from structural steel and truss. The soft eye is a plain spliced loop that can be wrapped around a beam and passed back through the hard eye; the hard eye is formed over a thimble so that a shackle or hook bears on metal rather than on the rope itself. Cloud One's stock record lists steels at 100 kg, 150 kg, 250 kg, 400 kg, 760 kg and 1,000 kg, in lengths from 0.5 m to 13.2 m, with hard loops, soft loops or one of each, and some sheathed in PVC.

LITEC Flyintower Compact 6m
The LITEC Flyintower Compact is a ground-support lifting tower for loudspeaker systems, built on QX30SA 300 truss and raised with a manual hoist. Compact is LITEC's own name for the Flyintower 6-300. It reaches a maximum tower height of 6 m, lifts up to 300 kg and weighs 70 kg. Dismantled it packs into 0.4 m³, small enough for a single flightcase holding every part except the vertical trusses. LITEC limit the wind-exposed surface of the suspended load to 2.5 m², with ballast set according to wind speed.

PA Tower - 9.8m
The Alustage PA Tower is a wind-up lifting tower used to raise loudspeaker systems, including line arrays, above an audience. Cloud One's stock record identifies it as an Alustage tower: a mast of Quadro 390 truss on a PDS 05.01 HD tower base, with an NDS 390.06.00 header block at the top and a hand-cranked PDS 12.00 winch assembly, braced by 2.6 m legs and RP-Fi50 diagonal braces. Each leg frame is ballasted with a 600 litre water tank. The 9.8 m in the name is the maximum trim height, the height the load is hoisted to, not the height of the tower.

CM Lodestar 1T Motor
The Columbus McKinnon CM Lodestar is an electric chain hoist (chain motor) for entertainment rigging, and this unit is the 1000 kg capacity version. Columbus McKinnon lists two 1000 kg models: Model L lifting at 4 m/min with a 1 HP motor, and Model LL at 8 m/min with a 2 HP motor, both running on 400 V three-phase 50 Hz at a 40% duty cycle (FEM class 2M). The hoist runs on 7.9 x 21.7 mm zinc-plated load chain (1.65 kg per metre, 8:1 safety factor) through a five-pocket liftwheel, has a DC brake and an adjustable clutch, is rated IP65, and complies with BGV-D8, BGV-D8+ and igvw SQ P2.
