rigging beams in the
building super

No
rigging will be allowed
on any other beam,
truss, pipe, or other

All
rigging loads should be
suspended by cables
across the top flange
of the rigging beams
with a burlap cloth
between beam and cable
to protect beam paint.
Beam
clamps, which are attached to one
side of the bottom flange of
beams will not be
permitted.
After

Whatever the stage width
is, at least 12 ft.
between the stage left
side and the dasher
boards must be left
clear, during load-in,
for the lift to exit.
The boom lift is always
parked in the loading

immediately upon the
lift’s exit, After the
event, as soon as the
stage left portion of
the stage is cleared of
equipment. That part of
the stage left side of
the stage will be broken
down to allow the lift
to reenter the floor for
