Rigging specialists Over The Top wanted a performer winch system that had easy and fast assembly, quick movement and the highest safety factors. The performer winch system would need to custom designed to accommodate Boyzone's planned performance, to fly the band members to the 'B' stage and then back to the main stage again.
Our custom performer flying winch system was used during the tour to fly dancers above the stage, then used for the encore to fly all members of Boyzone to the “B” stage and then back to the main stage and the winch is a custom version of the popular Hoist UK range of pilewind winches.
