rental of lifting feet & winches | event paris
Lifting feet rental is essential for raising an aluminium structure to height, positioning a lighting truss, installing a technical grid or making it easier to put stage equipment in place. A lifting foot (winch stand) makes assembly far more efficient while respecting the height, load and layout constraints of the venue.
In the events industry, lifting feet are used for stages, conferences, private concerts, conventions, audiovisual sets, technical stands, LED walls, lighting rigs and temporary structures. They gradually raise a square aluminium structure so that equipment can be positioned at exactly the right level.
The choice of foot depends on several parameters: the final height required, the weight of the structure, the added load, the width of the truss span, the type of equipment rigged, the floor space available and access to the venue. A winch lifting foot or an electric lifting foot is never chosen on height alone: it must be consistent with the actual load and the operating conditions.
Frequent applications:
- Raising a lighting truss for a stage or plenary session.
- Assembling a technical grid in a hall.
- Supporting a square aluminium structure.
- Installing video or lighting equipment at height.
- Temporary configuration for a corporate event or trade show.
To keep the build safe, you also need to check the condition of the floor, the stability of the area, the footprint of the feet, public walkways, the presence of cables and the constraints of the venue. The feet must remain accessible to the technical crew without getting in the way of the running of the event.
Correct sizing is worked out together with the square aluminium structure, the bases, the structure packs, the spotlights or the video elements to be integrated.
Solutions Événements helps you choose the right equipment according to the height, the load and the intended use.
What is a lifting foot for in events?
It is used to raise a structure, a lighting truss or a technical grid to the required height during set-up.
How do you choose a lifting foot?
You need to consider the working height, the total load, the width of the structure, the type of equipment rigged and the access constraints of the venue.
Can a lifting foot carry an LED wall?
It can play a part in assembling or holding a structure intended for video, but the configuration must be validated according to the weight of the LED wall and the load distribution.
What is the difference between a manual and an electric lifting foot?
The manual version suits a great many everyday installations. The electric version may be the right choice for specific loads or constraints, depending on the equipment available and the assembly method.
How many feet are needed for a lighting truss?
A simple truss span generally uses two feet. A grid or a wider structure may need four feet or more depending on the span, the load and the technical configuration.
