Total Structures has launched a new brand, Pointman Lifting Products, aimed at the rigging sector of entertainment. The first product is the Pointman electric chain hoist. Developed in collaboration with Rex Companies, the hoist is based on an industrial design by Swiss chain hoist manufacturer Gis AG but customized to suit the entertainment market. Features include multi-voltage operation, 110V low-voltage control, IP65 environmental protection, and a factory installed load sheave drain. The range starts with a compact ¼-ton capacity hoist and goes up to a 5-ton unit, with most capacities available at the standard 16' per minute lift speed. The range also includes a single reeve 2-ton product. D8, D8+, C1, and variable speed specification units are available with three-phase and single-phase power options.
