Germany - ChainMaster, one of the world's most successful manufacturers of chain hoists and chain-hoist controllers, has been supplying equipment for a number of major projects and productions, including the Spain Summer Tour, which is using 13 500kg VarioLifts and a computer controller furnished by the manufacturer's Spanish distributor.

Meanwhile, ChainMaster has added two more prestige German venues to its reference list, having installed a chain-hoist system for the video cube in the SAP Arena in Mannheim in collaboration with Sauernheimer (due to the enormous weight of the load, four 6000kg computer-controlled VarioLifts with a backup system were needed here) as well as producing the three 500kg BGV-C1 chain hoists delivered recently by Focon Showtechnic to the Mercedez-Benz museum.

Chainmaster has also announced that two more event service providers have recently expanded their stocks of ChainMaster chain hoists: Mash France added five 0-40m/min VarioTrolleys and 22 VarioLifts ( 250kg and 500kg) to its hire catalogue, whilst the Denmark-based lighting and rental production company Seelite has converted its existing BGV-C1 chain hoists to VarioLifts, investing at the same time in a variety of VarioLifts and VarioTrolleys.
