Concept

The concept for my project is simple, I would like to have an Up Stage platform which raises and lowers throughout the perfomance.

Ideas

For my project, I looked at using electric winches in order to raise and lower a platform (Made from 3 Lite Deck). I understand that when briefed on the project we were told we had an unlimited budget, however after costing for these winches I decided to use the counterweight flying system, as I believe that this more like the reality of beaing a Technical Stage Manager.

In order to increase my safety factor, I obtained the hardware for the project as if I were making the platform from Steel Deck. In reality I would use Lite Deck.
