Effective Cable Management with the MTN Chain Slider

We also supply MTN Chain Sliders that provides a clean solution when using electric chain hoists. The more moving parts that are involved on stage or behind-the-scenes, the bigger issue cable mismanagement becomes. MTN Chain Sliders can address cable tangling that leads to damaged equipment, as well as an unsafe work environment.

Mountain Productions’ own shop has worked on and used the CM Lodestar Next Gen Style hoist for years. Our Level 2 CM Certified rigging staff represents a wealth of CM product and technical knowledge, and inspects each hoist prior to shipment. We’re experienced in the extensive Lodestar family, and can provide the exact specifications that you require in your hoist.
