The concept

A truck supports a telescopic arm with a deployment of 37 m / 121.39 ft.

Six HMI lampheads, each 12 KW, are mounted mobile at the head of the arm. Each one of the lampheads is equipped with a remotely individually controlled colour changer and shutter as well as with movers for pan, tilt, focus and dimmer.

The crane movements as well as the lampheads pan, tilt, focus and intensity are all radio controlled.

Integrated into the rotating base of the arm, a soundproof power generator of 165 kVA (165 KW) provides the energy of the system.

When used in interior location, the lampheads can be powered from the mains.

Innovative Aspect

The world wide unique integration of a crane, a generator and the six focusable Fresnel lampheads on one single vehicle, allows a very fast setting.

The whole lighting can be remotely controlled on the set.

The power of the soundproof generator (65 dB) allows additional power supply for further applications – 6 lampheads on crane ~ 75 kW, total load ~ 165 kW.

Versatility

The equipment of the luminaries with dedicated accessories and the full remote control capabilities provide an efficient lighting tool for motion picture and television productions as well as for events and spectacles illuminations.

The technology of the telescopic arm composed of two articulated telescopes offers unequalled possibilities for vertical and outreached positioning:
• max height: 37 m / 121.39 ft
• max horizontal outreach: 15 m / 49.2 ft

Effectiveness

Favoured by its easy and fast handling, this French crane La Grue will become an essential tool for directors of photography and lighting designers in Europe.
