Industrial hoists and stage hoists have combined to install two new video walls at Amsterdam Arena, in the Dutch capital city.
The 12 x 8m, 15t Sony video walls were lifted into place at a height of 41m using two VT4 machinery hoists, with a special three-fall reeving to guarantee safety, Verlinde said.
The video walls each feature a large front screen and a smaller back screen, which can be lowered out of the main screen. This process is carried out by two VL25 chain hoists with 35m lift heights and simultaneous control.

Verlinde is now offering guided and motorised travelling trolleys for its Stagemaker chain hoists.
The motorised trolleys are fitted with speed variation and are controlled by an R8CPU VS controller. The use of this controller makes it possible to drive up to 64 motors in automatic or semi-automatic mode, Verlinde said. This can be used to create ‘the most elaborate scenic effects’, it added.

Baudin Chateauneuf will replace hydraulic systems, press cylinders and accumulator cylinders in the Eiffel Tower’s west elevator, after being awarded a contract by SETE.
Verlinde Eurobloc VT 12.5-ton capacity hoists will remove the existing machinery and replace it with new equipment.
The press cylinders and accumulator cylinders of the Eiffel Tower’s elevators have been in service for one-hundred years, and this is the first time they will be changed.
They are to be replaced with systems that are technically as similar as possible to the original equipment.
Baudin Chateauneuf has installed a 17-metre gantry that enters the tower by a window through the metal framework.
Radio-controlled Verlinde hoists will handle the hydraulic systems, which are 16-metres long and weigh around 20 metric tons.
Eventually, both of the Eiffel Tower’s hydraulic elevators will be renovated in this way.
