Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: For those of you who HAVE done "CATS"

Message

   Doing the final clearances for using a scissors-lift onstage for a production of "Cats."  

I've got a local big-name crane & lift company willing to install, train, and set up the lockout/tagout.  Here's my remaining problem:

I'm putting together the proposal for our Risk Management people.  Could any of you who HAVE done "Cats" with a scissors-lift drop me a reply stating that you used a scissors lift for this purpose with your theatre group - I'd like to offer the RM folks examples of other groups' usage to show it's "normal."

Thanks!

Mike

	Hi Our stage would not support a scissor lift. We were able to use an electric powered one man lift. Similar equipment, only smaller and lighter. We draped the front in cloth to hide the hydraulics. Total height of the lift was 30', although we only needed 22' to clear the lights. It worked very well for us. Hope this helps. Good luck with your production. Matt
