Tiffin Scenic Studios specializes in custom-manufacturing stage and arena rigging to ensure it meets your venue’s specific size requirements, even for the most complicated systems and configurations. Our manufacturing process begins with a thorough inspection to determine sizing, structural and safety requirements that will influence the design.
In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, our team also provides expert installation services. Our experience and knowledge allow us to install with precision and safety in mind. Whether you’re looking for track systems for an auditorium, masking systems for an arena or another type of rigging equipment, we’ll get the job done.
How Custom Rigging Manufacturing Meets Your Facility’s Needs
Because no two spaces are the same, stage and arena rigging equipment must be custom-made to support proper alignment, positioning and handling. We create custom truss shapes that flow with the architecture of your venue to reduce unnecessary structural strain and improve safety. Our designs are available in individual and modular setups to allow for efficient installation, too.
We consider visual and suspended elements when manufacturing a rigging system. If you want to include lighting, speakers, video screens, curtains, backdrops or netting in your system, we incorporate those elements into the measurement and construction process. Doing so allows us to provide you with a balanced creation that can withstand wear and tear and multi-use applications.
