Custom Hoists
Rely on Proven Experience for Custom Hoist Applications
When the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre in Dallas, Texas had the vision of literally hanging and shifting seating towers, Vortek engineers accepted the challenge. Now theatergoers enjoy performances in one of the most innovative facilities ever built using hoists capable of moving horizontally and vertically with a lifting capacity of 60,000 pounds (27,215 kg).
Vortek's experienced rigging team has a long tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing custom hoists for a variety of applications..
