LED screen for rental and stage events

Rental stock is bought once and used on every show, so the cabinet has to cover several pitches on one rigging plot and stay light enough for a two-person lift.

One cabinet, three pitches

A rental cabinet family that spans three pitches lets one stock line cover small stages and large ones, and lets a show upgrade resolution without buying new frames.

Rigging and weight

Cabinets are built to hang from a truss and to be struck in the dark. Weight per cabinet is the number a rental house plans around.

Spares and turnaround

Shows travel with spares, and modules are swapped in the venue. Front and rear access both matter on stage, depending on how the wall is flown.

What decides a rental cabinet, in order

Rental stock is decided by the truck and the crew before the picture.

The crew sets the weight
A 500 × 500 mm die-cast cabinet at 8 kg is a two-person lift and a one-person carry between cases; the 500 × 1000 mm version is 14.5 kg and takes two. Rental houses buy by cabinet weight and case count because that is what sets crew size and truck space.
The deck sets the load
Where the audience stands on the screen, Floor tiles are rated 2,000 kg/m² in the mask version and 1,200 kg/m² in GOB, with the walking surface as the service access — a damaged panel is a swap, not a floor lift.
The venue sets the brightness
Arenas and outdoor stages run 800 cd/m² and up on Flare and Flame; a wall flown in a dark room is dimmed rather than swapped for another product.
The strike sets the frame
Tool-free locks and one shared frame mean the same cabinet goes up as a flat wall, a curve or a half-arc, and comes down in the dark without tools.

Boundary. We do not supply truss, rigging design or show engineering — the cabinet hangs from the structure the venue or the rigger provides.
