Stage Rigging NYC

Rigging Inside New York Buildings

In New York, the building decides the rig. Some rooms have rigging points and a crew that knows them. Historic halls and galleries often let nothing hang from the ceiling at all.

Our truss rental in NYC starts with the venue’s rules: what can hang, how much, and when the freight elevator is free. At the Altman Building in Chelsea, we built the truss, lighting and a 40-foot-wide LED wall for Walmart Connect within the building’s rules.

  • Planned around the building
  • Hung or on towers
  • Sized for the freight elevator
  • Struck inside your window

How We Rig a New York Venue

  1. Building Rules We get the venue’s rigging rules, point loads and ceiling heights in writing.
  2. Rig Drawing We draw the truss and every hang, and share it with the venue for sign-off.
  3. Elevator and Dock Plan We size the truss pieces for the freight elevator and book the dock window.
  4. Build, Hang, Check Our crew builds the rig, the teams hang their gear, and we check it all before doors.

What to Know About Truss in NYC

  • Landmark Ceilings Many historic rooms allow nothing hung from the ceiling. Ground-supported truss gets the lights up anyway.
  • Union Rules Some hotels and convention centers require their own riggers for parts of the job. We plan the rig around them.
  • Freight Elevators Truss comes in set lengths. We pick pieces that fit the building’s elevator and doors.
  • Tight Windows Buildings book docks in time slots, so the rig is planned to go up and come down inside yours.
