Prodigy EXO Hoist
Ideal for schools, nightclubs, houses of worship, community theaters and other places where powerheads must be installed upright or vertically. Prodigy EXO Hoists are manufactured in a family of sizes and capacities from small capacity fixed-speed
house light maintenance hoists, up to machines that carry heavy loads at rapid speeds. At about one-third the length of other manufacturers' fixed- and variable-speed hoists, and a fraction of the weight, the hybrid slope drum of the Powerhead
operates up to eight lift lines with 50 feet of vertical travel.
Raising the bar
Install the Prodigy EXO Hoist in almost any space, in almost any position. The unique external structure allows the powerhead to be mounted upright (standing on top of the grid), underhung (suspended below the grid or roof structure), or vertically
(attached to the side wall of the stage). EXO Hoists may also be mixed in with counterweight tee guides on the side of the stage. This flexibility allows for denser placement of line sets so battens can be located as close as eight inches
on center, even if all the powerheads are located on one side of the stage.
Versitile installation
Use Prodigy EXO for renovations and new construction. Prodigy EXO Hoists pair with traditional upright or underhung loft blocks that can be mounted on standard loft block beams or wells.
No more ladders or scaffolding
With motorized hoists like Prodigy, there is no need for workers to climb ladders or scaffold to install or remove lighting, scenery or drapes. Simply lower the hoists to working level, install and service your gear, and then return to performance
or storage positions high above the stage floor.
SoftLift™ technology
EXO Prodigy hoists now have the option of ETC SoftLift technology, which essentially eliminates worrisome shuddering while lifting or lowering heavy scenery, such as acoustic shells. Batten travel speeds ramp up as they begin to move and then
slow down as they come to a stop, making scene transitions smooth and effortless.
