It's not an evolution - it's a revolution!

MONOBLOQ

 

The new Monobloq rigging system is going to revolutionize the way of rigging:

 

All you need is a single fix cable plus Monobloq to create your hanging point. The patented system allows a cable adjustment in seconds and the installation of up to 8 bridles per hour with 2 technicians.

Safe.
Quick adjustment.
Easy to handle.
 

How does Monobloq work?

Insert the 8mm steel rope into the open Monobloq device for 8mm steel ropes (or the 10mm steel rope into the open Monobloq device for 10mm steel ropes).

Once the steel rope is in the device, the pressure wedge is placed in the Monobloq body recess and the cover is fixed by 3 fixing screws.
Then the shackle is mounted and gets attached to the structural element.

Once Monobloq is suspended from the shackle, the length of the cable can be adjusted by exerting two-handed effort in the desired direction of travel. To fix the cable at a given point, a manual load must be exerted.

Finally, insert the set screw on the side opposite the load and screw until it is tightened.

Ready for use!

SAFE:

The system is patented and flexible hanging points can be positioned to fit within seconds.

QUICK ADJUSTMENT:

Once the Monobloq is suspended from the shackle, the length of the rope can be adjusted to the desired running direction by applying force with both hands.

Easy to handle:

All you need is a suspension rope and the Monobloq to create a flexible hanging point. The patented system allows positioning in seconds and the installation of up to 8 bridles per hour.

More advantages:

  • Less cable stock needed
  • Up to 8 bridles per hour with 2 technicians

We offer two different Monobloq bodies: one for 8mm steel ropes and one for 10 mm steel ropes.
To operate with each of these diameters, the corresponding pressure wedge must be used.
In both cases the installation is done in the same way.

Let the show begiN!

Jan Delay & co create a great atmosphere in St. Gallen

The opening days of the St. Galler Kantonalbank Hall were a full success. Stagelight Switzerland conjured up an impressive show with our products! Our MLT TWO and ONE Pre Rig trusses, the HOFFORK 350-5 and our POST Dollies were used.
The MLT TWO and ONE proved once their strengths, especially when it comes to saving time during set-up and dismantling. The MLT TWO and ONE were used as front trusses as well as trusses for a large part of the stage effect lighting equipped with Robe iForte in the stage area.
Stagelight used our HOFFORK 350-5 for the LED walls on stage. On the stage itself, our POST Dollies, equipped with MLTs, were used for various vertical applications.

THE META CUBE STAGE

For the Oslo shows of the truly unique Norwegian hip hop group KARPE, the artists wanted a Meta cube as a main element for the show.

This time, it was not about a simple flown stage area like in 2017. This time, the flying stage got a moveable hood in the sizes of approximately 12 x 12 x 3.5 metres: the Meta Cube.

The complete flown construction was covered with Plexiglass plates and a diffusion film which causes the cube to become transparent or in a frosted glass look. This allowed the group to make changes on the stage during the show without anyone noticing.
Inside the cube was a 2.5 x 2.5m lifting platform, which could be moved up, and which enabled the artists to perform not only inside the cube, but also on the upper platform of the cube above the band. The Meta Cube was an integral part of the light design.

BABY BOY STAGE

...NOT ICE ICE, BUT PROPERLY, BABY!…

An eye-catcher is our Baby Boy Stage. The roof can be built in up to 12 different versions. In its fully expanded version, the stage has a surface of 28x16 meters. The roof has a height of approx. 10 meters from the top edge of the stage platform.
Thanks to is flat roof shape and the special design, most of the rainwater is derived to the back. The optional passive towers allow a roof load of up to 14 tons, depending on the wind zone, construction version and positioning of the load. The systems HOFFORK 350-4 and HOFFORK 620-4 were used.
The ballast of 4 tons per tower is situated directly in the 2-part base, which can be comfortably manoeuvered by forklift or crane.

Flying STAGE

OSLO FLY HIGH - FLY HIGHER

In Oslo, Norway, we have installed this 400m² high-end stage using only 39 motor chainhoists. This stage looks extremely flat because both the HOFBOLT 200-2 Grid Truss system and the special stage platforms are very small sized.
Not only is HOFBOLT 200-2 Grid Truss extremely small, it also has a very high load capacity comparing to its size. HOFBOLT 200-2 Grid Truss is therefore often used in: trade fairs, shows, as false ceilings or suspended ceiling and as a rear/back wall construction for stages etc.

video WALL allianz arena

MUNICH GETS NEW LED WALL...

... Done!
The substructure for the new 21 x 9 m video walls in Munich came from our production. The customer wanted approx. 200 m² video wall, which is more than twice as much space as the previous walls. The challenge was to use the 'old' hanging points for the new LED wall, but these hanging points were quite close, only a 10m gap in between them, in relation to the size of the new wall. We faced a so-called overhang to left and right of each about 5 meters, which is really large. With the weight of 18 tons per unit (200 m² LED screen, 40 m² LED screen, under construction and cabling), such bendingmoments are more than exceptional.

SUPER STAGE

THIS STAGE BANGS

With the HOFFORK trusses the SuperStage can be build up to a maximum size of 22 x 15 and 17.5 meters.
Due to the variable use of the trusses sizes, this stage can be built in multiple sizes. Additionally the stage can be extended with side storage and a porch-roof from up to 2.5 to 3.75 meters. The roof load is 18 tons without PA wings!

video CUBE AT FC schalke 04

EUROPE'S LARGEST

An eye-catcher in the Veltins-Arena at FC Schalke 04 - Europe's biggest video cube.
The substructure: made by HOF.
The challenges were not to increase the weight of construction, despite the LED screen increase by approximately 30% and the tight time frame of approximately four months, for: design, construction, structural analysis including testing, material procurement, manufacturing and assembly on site.

305 m² LED screen, total weight 30 tons and the weight of the substructure is approximately 11 tons of aluminium.
