Scorpion Event Solutions is pleased to announce a new investment in our production infrastructure with the addition of twelve high-capacity event motor hoists. The new fleet includes eight ½-ton hoists and four 1-ton hoists, significantly enhancing our ability to deliver flexible, safe, and professional rigging solutions for events of all sizes.
These new hoists form part of our continued commitment to maintaining industry-leading equipment across our stock. With a broad range of applications — including use with MPT towers for lifting truss, flying LED screens, and suspending line array systems — the addition of this kit further supports our delivery of high-end, large-scale event production.
The motor hoists have already been integrated into our equipment portfolio and are being used across a wide range of productions. Whether lifting truss structures, supporting flown lighting rigs, raising PA systems, or suspending video walls, these hoists offer the control, stability, and load-bearing capacity needed for complex, modern event setups.
Their compatibility with our MPT tower systems means we can now offer more versatile rigging options, particularly useful at outdoor events, exhibitions, and corporate shows where ground-based solutions or fast setup is required.
All hoists are maintained to the highest standards and comply with UK safety regulations and LOLER inspections, giving clients the confidence that all flown equipment is safely and professionally handled.
Edd Stanton, Director of Scorpion Event Solutions, said:
“We’re always looking for ways to improve the services we offer, and this latest investment in lifting equipment allows us to tackle more ambitious setups. Whether we’re flying truss for lighting, suspending large LED walls, or elevating audio systems for clearer sound coverage, these hoists are essential tools that give us flexibility and control on-site. It’s a step forward that enhances what we can offer across the board.”
As event requirements become more technically demanding, safe, efficient and flexible rigging becomes even more critical. Our new motor hoists allow us to respond faster and deliver more intricate builds with reduced turnaround time, ensuring that every event we work on runs to schedule and to spec.
Scorpion Event Solutions continues to deliver comprehensive production packages to a wide range of clients across the UK. From corporate conferences and live performances to outdoor festivals and school events, we provide everything from lighting and sound to video, staging and rigging — now with expanded lifting capabilities thanks to our new motor hoists.
