Rigging hire for your production
Our rigging hire clients span live events, corporate productions, touring shows, installations and one-off private functions. Whatever the scale of your production, the Chain Block 500kg slots into a working technical specification without the lead times and capital commitment of purchasing.
Dry hire puts professional equipment within reach of smaller productions, freelancers and one-off events that could never justify a purchase — and gives larger productions the flexibility to scale up or down per show. Our weekly rates are designed so that a single week's hire is straightforward to quote, and multi-week hires are discounted accordingly.
The Chain Block 500kg works hardest as part of a wider system. Browse the full Rigging range in our catalogue, add everything your production needs to your flightcase, and submit one hire request — a consolidated list lets our team check compatibility, plan transport as a single load and quote the whole job accurately.
Technical overview
The Chain Block 500kg is specified in full in the technical table above. Key headline figures include weight: 10.0. Full manufacturer documentation is available to download where listed, and our technical team is happy to talk through how the Chain Block 500kg fits your intended application before you commit.
Specifications matter most when equipment has to work together on site. When you submit a hire request, tell us what the Chain Block 500kg will be working with — control systems, power sources, rigging, neighbouring equipment — and our team will flag any gaps or accessories you'll need to complete the system.
What to expect when you hire
Hiring the professional way: build your equipment list in the flightcase, submit one hire request with your event dates and delivery details, and our team confirms availability and returns a consolidated quote. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked until you approve that quote — the request is exactly that, a request.
Once confirmed, your hire is prepared, tested and packed for dispatch. Nationwide delivery and collection are available, and all prices exclude delivery/collection unless stated — transport is quoted with your hire so you see the full picture up front.
If anything needs attention during your hire, you're supported by real production people throughout. Report an issue and we'll work with you to resolve it — replacement equipment, technical advice or an adjusted collection, depending on what the situation calls for.
