1. Trickline

2. 2 mounting feet

Features

The Trickline is constructed of lightweight and durable aluminum 80/20 extrusion that can be easily made to almost any length. This little ½ horsepower motor can move 150lbs at 15 in/sec and is easily mounted in multiple orientations. Using the Trickline eliminates the hassle and mess of running hydraulics while offering better control than pneumatics and can be mated with curtain track to automate scenic elements and curtains.
