ADC T-Lift 2.0 is a "No-Brainer" for Touring
T-Lift 2.0 is the easiest, fastest automated curtain rigging system ever. Just ask Hootie & the Blowfish. They’re using the new ADC T-Lift 2.0 (patent pending) system on their 44-city tour. The T-Lift 2.0 system is “automatic.” Crews need minimal supervision because it’s “ready-to rig” in familiar modular truss sections. Its new self-aligning shaft means you just bolt the modules together and hang the drape. “Quick Connect” lift lines attach to the drums in seconds and allow you to leave the lines rigged into the curtain between tour stops. Aircraft cable has been replaced with flat, ½" nylon lines that are just as strong and safe, yet silent and snarl-free. Place lift lines and sheaves almost anywhere along the shaft with the newly designed open bottom "U" truss. Comes with servo motor and controller.
