</span>You asked about this a month ago and had a lot of replies. Are you<br>
looking for other ones? Could be why you have gotten some less than<br>
serious replies so far.<br>
<br>
You really have to focus on size and other uses - a fixed platform<br>
size or are you looking for lifting mechanisms you can reconfigure?<br>
Speed? People or just scenery and props? Noise?<br>
<br>
I work in an intalls world - new buildings with systems and equipment<br>
- and it's Gala or Serapid today as the options for theatres. When I<br>
see lifts tailored to a production, generally one off custom<br>
creations, though the parts might be reuseable. Max load and speed<br>
are number one, and your noise tolerance level, followed by your<br>
ability to modify and build - especially guides and safeties.<br>
