Stage Flying Winch 450 kg | High-Speed Aerial Wire Winch for Theater & Live Events
Professional Flying Winch for Theater, Live Events and Stage Automation
The KLD Stage Flying Winch is a compact, high-speed, safety-engineered winch system designed specifically for theatrical aerial effects, performer flying, scenic movement and dynamic stage automation. With a robust mechanical structure, redundant safety features and precise motion control, this winch is an essential component for modern performance venues—from small theaters to large touring productions.
Designed for reliability, smooth operation and artistic flexibility, the system enables directors and rigging designers to create stunning aerial sequences with confidence.
1. Key Features & Safety Advantages
✔ Fail-Safe Gravity-Load Protection + Emergency Manual Release
The winch is equipped with a safety mechanism that prevents unintended load release under all conditions, including power loss.
An emergency manual switch provides backup operation during extreme situations—ensuring performer and equipment safety.
✔ Electromagnetic Brake System
A high-performance electromagnetic brake provides:
- Long-term holding capability under static load
- Zero drift and zero slip during performances
- Immediate stopping power for high-speed aerial cues
This ensures safe vertical movement even at high speeds.
✔ Mechanical Upper & Lower Limiters
Configurable mechanical limit switches allow precise preset of upper and lower travel boundaries, preventing:
- Over-travel
- Line slack or shock loading
- Accidental impact with rigging structures
Reliable for repetitive automated cues.
✔ Grooved Drum + Steel Rope Retainer Clamp
The grooved drum ensures neat, stable rope winding, while the retention clamp:
- Prevents rope jumping
- Eliminates cross-layer entanglement
- Keeps rope direction strictly aligned
Essential for flying performer systems or precise prop movement.
✔ Dual-Mode Operation: Wired + Wireless Control
Operators can switch between wired and wireless control depending on show conditions.
- Wireless mode enables flexible remote operation
- Wired mode ensures stable, interference-free control for critical cues
Supports integration with stage automation consoles and DMX-based systems.
2. Customization & Power Compatibility
The flying winch can be fully customized based on:
- Desired lifting speed
- Rope length
- Control strategy (manual, automated, DMX, PLC, cue lists)
- Mounting orientation
- Integration with existing stage machinery
Compatible with single-phase or three-phase AC power systems.
Single-phase 220V can be converted to three-phase using a frequency inverter—ideal for theaters with limited power supply options.
