Prodigy FlyPipe is a completely new approach to lowering and raising loads for display, storage, or production. Combining the simplicity of classic line shaft designs with that of a modern zero fleet angle hoist, the self-climbing FlyPipe delivers a modular, easy to install rigging solution that is a perfect match for the current generation of lighting and scenery packages.

The self-climbing hoist does not impose lateral loads on the overhead structure, making installation possible in facilities that cannot accommodate counterweight rigging or would otherwise require significant structural reinforcement.

The hoist consists of three modular elements: a Drive section, Span sections, and an End section. The shortest configuration, 5.5 m (18 ft), consists of the Drive and End sections with two TwinLine pairs of 3.1 mm (1/8 in) wire rope. The longest configuration adds four Span sections for a 17.7 m (58 ft) pipe with six TwinLines. Each section has a TwinLine, or set of two 3.1 mm (1/8 in) wire ropes.
