A Word About Safety

The Rotator is constructed to be a rugged and versatile machine used for rotary motion applications. Do not let the small footprint fool you. The Rotator can move incredible loads at fast speeds. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure a safe environment when moving scenery around on stage. The Rotator is not intended for lifting, so don’t install it sideways or at an angle with an imbalanced load (e.g. a turntable with a large scenic element located on the perimeter). If you have any questions or need help integrating the Rotator for your scenery application please reach out to [e-mail].
