Stage Lifting System Planner

Configure your stage lifting system in 60 seconds.

Start with the five inputs that shape the system: what you are lifting, total weight, number of lift points, travel and whether the motion is synchronized or independently programmed. Your configuration flows directly into the inquiry.

01 / PROJECT PARAMETERS

02 / INITIAL CONFIGURATION

Average Static Load per Point300 kg
Preliminary Load Class500 kg class
INITIAL ROUTE / NOT A FINAL ENGINEERING SELECTION

Q1 / Q2+ 500 kg-class route

Start the engineering review with 8 lift points and synchronized group control. Q1 and Q2+ are preliminary routes only; the final selection depends on dynamic loads, eccentric loads, travel, speed, protection rating and suspension geometry.

Lift Points
Important: this estimate divides total static load by the number of lift points for early-stage discussion only. It is not a rigging design, load certification or safety guarantee. Dynamic factors, eccentric loads, suspension structures, chain travel, redundancy and regulatory compliance must be verified by qualified engineers.
Hoist Family

Compare Q1, Q2+, Q3 and JQ-A stage hoists.

Start with the operating method, load class, travel, speed and venue conditions. The planner suggests a load route; the final hoist and control package are confirmed through engineering review.

System Architecture

Build the lifting route from control to the suspended load.

A complete stage lifting quotation connects the operating method, controller, selected hoists, lifting accessories and suspension plan. JQ-A remains a separate manual route rather than part of an automated motion chain.

Safety Logic

Safety planning for entertainment chain hoists.

A stage lifting system must be evaluated beyond motion alone. Positioning, power-loss holding, overload protection and venue conditions are addressed at system level, subject to the confirmed configuration.

Servo positioning for a stage hoist control system
01 / POSITION

Servo Position Control

Assigns a defined motion target to every lift point and supports multi-point synchronization and programming.

Power-loss holding for a stage electric hoist
02 / HOLD

Power-loss Holding Logic

Considers power-loss conditions within the hoist and brake configuration; actual performance depends on the final braking design.

Overload protection

Load monitoring, limits and protection strategies belong in the engineered system and cannot be replaced by a web estimate.

Buyer Questions

Stage electric hoist questions, answered.

These answers support early procurement planning. Final load selection, rigging design, standards and control architecture require model-specific engineering review.

What is a stage electric hoist?

A stage electric hoist is an electric chain hoist selected for entertainment lifting tasks such as scenery, truss, lighting, LED displays and kinetic installations. The final equipment and control design must match the load, motion and venue conditions.

What is the difference between buying hoists and a complete stage lifting system?

Hoists-only supply is for integrators with their own control architecture. A control package adds group controllers and packaged power distribution. A complete system can include lift-point planning, hoists, accessories, control topology, testing and motion commissioning.

What information is required for a stage hoist quotation?

Provide the lifted object, total static load, number of lift points, vertical travel, motion mode, project type, location and any available suspension or load drawings.

Can multiple stage hoists move together?

Yes. Depending on the confirmed hoist and controller package, Q1, Q2+ or Q3 lift points can be planned for single operation, synchronized groups or an engineered motion-control route.

Which Q1, Q2+, Q3 or JQ-A stage hoist should I use?

Q1 covers multiple general-purpose load classes, Q2+ adds multi-speed operation and IP66 protection, Q3 provides a 1000 kg low-speed route, and JQ-A is a manual chain-hoist option. Final selection must account for dynamic factors, eccentric loads, travel, duty cycle and local requirements.

Does the online configurator replace a rigging design?

No. The configurator is for early project screening only. It is not a rigging design, load certification or safety guarantee, and all critical conditions must be reviewed by qualified engineers.

Which stage hoist standards or certificates apply?

Applicable standards and certificates depend on the proposed model, operating mode and destination market. Request model-specific documentation during engineering selection rather than assuming a standard from a general webpage.

What supply scopes can Joeqing provide?

Choose hoists only, electric hoists with group controllers and lifting accessories, or a complete stage lifting system. The final proposal defines equipment, software, testing, commissioning and support responsibilities.

How do I work out the load a stage hoist has to lift?

Start with the mass of what is hanging, then add the frame, the rigging and any cabling that travels with it. For an LED payload the screen is usually the largest single item — the LED wall calculator will give you an area-based figure to start from. Spread that across the points you actually have, keep a margin for dynamic load during acceleration, and only then pick a rated load class. Working the other way round, choosing a hoist and hoping the load fits, is how projects end up re-rigged on site.

Can a hoist system carry a screen that moves as well as lifts?

Yes, and that is most of what we build. A hoist gives vertical travel; combining it with a rotating platform or a sliding rail adds rotation or horizontal travel on top. The kinetic ceiling at Beijing Workers Stadium is a servo hoist installation of exactly this kind, where suspended elements change the height and shape of the room through the night. Combined motion changes the safety case, so it is engineered as one system rather than two products bolted together.

Define the lift points first.
Then price the right system.
