A Word About Safety
The Pushstick Mini is a fantastic machine for moving scenery. Do not let the “Mini” mislead you - it can pull large, heavy scenery across the stage with ease. Such power deserves a great degree of respect, as it can become a very serious hazard if misused. Proper deck rigging practices should always be employed when installing a Pushstick Mini.
The Pushstick Mini is constructed to be a rugged and versatile winch, used for deck tracks, traveler tracks, and other lateral motion applications.
Pushstick Mini winches are not intended for hoisting
Each Pushstick Mini has a label indicating its maximum line pull. This is the maximum linear force that can be continuously generated by the winch’s motor and gearbox.
The Pushstick Mini ships with a set of Lexan safety shields to prevent injury to personnel or damage to the winch. Although they are removable, these covers are intended to be installed whenever the winch is in service.
