SIS at Electra expo

11 February 2013


  Electra Mining Africa, held every second year at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg, attracted over 35 000 visitors last year. Special Industrial Supplies (SIS) set up a professional display on a corner stand where part of their rig included Prolyte Trussing, LED parcans and a Robin DLX unit for gobo work.  

SIS manufacture lifting (lifting equipment, slings and hoists), safety harnesses, recovery equipment and 4×4 outdoor gear to the South African market. They approached DWR Distribution to supply a 5m high by 10m long Prolyte Goal Post structure. Each post stood on two 1m round base plates.

Twelve Longman RBG parcans were rigged on the trussing, and Keith Pugin from DWR Distribution loaded a DLX fixture on stand alone, to project gobos on the stand.

SIS also asked Pugin to make up special little clamps to house bottles of refreshments for their visitors.
