MTS PREMIUM STUDIO LIGHTING SUSPENSION
ABOUT MTS HOIST SYSTEMS
Our Hoist systems are used when multiple spotlights need to be mounted on a single bar. This setup optimizes costs while ensuring an efficient lighting arrangement. While individual spotlights cannot be adjusted in height separately, the entire load bar can be raised or lowered using support cables.
For seamless operation, power and data supply for spotlights and other equipment are managed through a modern, halogen-free flexible flat cable system. The configuration of power connections and data lines is fully customizable based on customer requirements.
All motorized hoist systems are equipped with advanced safety features, including:
– Slack rope detection for collision prevention
– Overload detection to enhance operational safety
We offer a variety of hoist systems, tailored to different operational requirements.
At MTS, we are committed to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. We never compromise—every product is built with premium components and rigorously tested to ensure reliability and durability. All our products fully comply with the EN 17206 and DGUV V17 (BGV C1) safety regulations
