Lighting Hoists

ACTA20 Dual Lift

Ceiling-mounted hoist with up to 5 m (16') pipe and up to 6 lighting circuits

Provides easy and fast access to install and service studio lighting fixtures. 

The versatility and ease of installation and use make the IFF self-climbing hoists the ideal solution for high lighting grids and frequent set changes in television studios that require a quick and easy change of lighting sets.

The advantage of the ACTA 20 for the end user - studio designer, rigger or technician - is that this single motor winch answers most lifting and suspension needs, thus avoiding the use of a vast number of different single spec hoists in a studio, theater or auditorium. This, in turn, means that all stages of delivery, set-up, and use can be dramatically streamlined – new studios can be completed faster, existing studios can be kept in perfect running order without maintenance delays.

ACTA20 Dual Lift

FF3904PD

The ceiling-mounted Dual Lift configuration is ideal for supporting long batten pipes for TV, theatrical and auditorium applications. This configuration uses two accessories – the double rope diverter pulley and the lighting circuit distributor. Travel is up to 10m (32ft), while the underhanging batten pipe can be between 3m (9’10”) and 5m (16ft) long, with up to 6 lighting circuits to respond to most common requirements. Lifting capacity is 190kg (400lb), minus the weight of the combination of batten and circuit distributor, resulting normally in 140kg (300lb) to 160kg (350lb) of equipment load.


  • Motor winch unit 
  • Terminal box for lighting circuits, moto power feed, remote control and low-voltage circuit connections
  • 1m (39’) long connector strip for up to 6 lighting circuits (any type of electrical socket can be supplied: Schuko, IEC309, etc) and 2 Low-voltage sockets (DMX, Ethernet, Adio/Video, etc)
  • Connector strip clamp for Ø50mm (2”) pipe (clamps for other support structures available on request)
  • Diverter pulley for two ropes
  • Hanging clamp/bracket with rope balancing system for 50mm (2”) Ø pipe
  • Lighting support truss (any type of support structure can be fitted)
