Description

The TAIT Pantograph is a unique and versatile scissor motion device that supports 158.76 kg (350 lbs) of payload for theatrical and stage lighting. The Pantograph incorporates a cable management system that prevents tangling and cable crimping, and provides a clean look to the assembly, so powering and controlling lights is as easy as making a few connections. One Pantograph supports a varied array of lights from a single, high-powered light to an assembly of multiple lights. The Pantograph is stored in a custom dolly that ensures easy load-in, load-out, and set-up, saving time and resources.
