Festival season: what machines help with event preparation?
Summer festivals, concerts, town celebrations and corporate events require fast, safe and well-organised preparation. Building stages, installing lighting, sound systems, LED screens, advertising surfaces or decorations often involves working at height as well as handling heavier materials.
That is why aerial work platforms, telehandlers and forklifts are commonly used during event preparation. The right machine can speed up installation, improve safety and help manage even a demanding schedule.
Scissor lifts
Scissor lifts are particularly suitable for flat and paved surfaces where vertical work at height is required.
Uses:
- lighting installation,
- electrical installations,
- area decoration,
- installation of banners and more.
Advantages:
- stable working platform,
- space for tools,
- suitable for several workers,
- easy to use on flat surfaces.
Articulating boom lifts
Articulating boom lifts are ideal where workers need to reach over an obstacle or access a less accessible area.
Uses:
- installation of lighting trusses,
- sound system installation,
- fixing advertising surfaces,
- work over barriers, stands or structures and more.
Advantages:
- great movement flexibility,
- reach over obstacles,
- suitable for complex event areas,
- safe work in harder-to-reach places.
Telescopic boom lifts
Telescopic boom lifts are used in larger areas and wherever higher or longer reach is needed.
Uses:
- installation of LED screens,
- work on high structures,
- installation of large-format banners,
- lighting of large stages and more.
Advantages:
- high working reach,
- quick access to height,
- effective alternative to scaffolding.
Rough terrain forklifts
Many festivals take place on meadows, gravel areas or in sites with uneven surfaces.
Uses:
- outdoor festivals,
- work on unpaved surfaces and more.
Advantages:
- better off-road mobility,
- suitable for outdoor use,
- stability in more demanding conditions.
Telehandlers
Festival preparation is not only about working at height, but also about moving materials. Telehandlers help with handling heavier and bulkier elements.
Uses:
- unloading materials,
- moving stage parts,
- handling technical equipment,
- transporting pallets,
- positioning structures and more.
Advantages:
- high load capacity,
- good reach,
- time savings,
- less manual handling.
We will help you choose
Every event has different requirements. Working height, type of terrain, available space, material weight and the implementation date all play an important role. If you are not sure which machine is best suited for your festival, concert or event, contact our team!
