Sloped drum

Drum design dramatically reduces the space needed for a motorized winch. Small drum size also means a streamlined Powerhead for the most compact and manageable rigging system on the market.

Compression tube

Rigging anywhere. The smart backbone of the Prodigy system absorbs and disperses lateral loads on building steel. Simply lift and snap into Mounting Brackets for lab-saving installation.

Plug and play

Testing and configuration in the factory so it’ll work when it shows up on site with minimal set up.

Ultimate in safety

ETC wants the user-experience to be the best possible from the moment the system is turned on. Every Prodigy hoist is tested under full load before it leaves the factory. All electrical and electronic connections, lift-line integrity and terminations, limit-switch functions, operation switches, and other components are tested by ETC factory technicians. Each hoist receives final inspection by quality managers before the equipment is packaged and shipped. These tests and inspections assure the installer and the owner that they are in possession of equipment that is not only safe and reliable but which will do the job from the first moment of use.
