The Alhambra's Theatre's technical electrics manager wanted to improve safety at the theatre where they were using a tallescope for working at height. "We chose the Star 10 because it is driveable at full height, carries two people and is about 1 tonne lighter than other machines we looked at suitable for our stage floor. Haulotte also changed the speed setting on the machine to enable us to drive it slower so that we have greater control in difficult areas like the edge of the orchestra pit."
The Star 10 has a working height of 10m and an outreach of 3m. As part of the package Haulotte will service the machine and carry out the necessary inspections to comply with the relevant legislation. "We are delighted with the machine," continues the Theatre's spokesman "Our first objective was to improve safety but the bonus has been that we save a significant amount of time compared to using the tallescope for focusing and rigging."
