Hoist and Rigging Equipment Hire - stocked chain hoists, Atlas controllers, trussing, slings and load cells, hired on your show calendar
Rigging hire, run by riggers.
Rigging equipment hire from the same workshop that sells, installs and certifies this kit nationally: stocked chain hoists across the common theatre capacities, Atlas hoist controllers, trussing, slings, shackles and load cells. Every unit ships with a current test tag.
Send the dates.
We do the rest.
Three ways a hire starts. All of them end the same way: rated kit with current test tags, palletised to your dock, collected after the run.
Start from a kit list
Your rigger knows the count. Send hoists, controllers and hardware with the dates and we check the fleet.
Start from the venue and the load
Send what has to fly and where. We confirm what suits from stock when we check your dates.

Hire it crewed: our riggers install, operate and pack down, with load calculations and complex load-ins scoped in.
A hire fleet that runs
off a rigging workshop.
Hoist and rigging hire from TSA is rated lifting kit on a calendar: stocked chain hoists across the common theatre capacities, Atlas hoist controllers, trussing, slings, shackles and load cells - picked and inspected before they ship, freighted Australia wide, and inspected again when they come back. Every hire hoist is double-braked and D8 Plus rated, whether it is chain hoist hire for one production week or a rigging package for a national tour.
Rigging is what TSA does all day. The hire fleet is run by the same team that sells, installs and certifies this equipment for venues around Australia - so the hoist that arrives for your load-in carries a current test tag, a service history and people behind it who can answer load questions, not read a docket back to you.
Hire it dry and your riggers take it from the dock, or add ours to install, operate and pack it down - load calculations and complex load-ins scoped with the kit. Gear runs on weekly hire rates, with day rates by arrangement and a minimum one-week hire. And if the run of shows turns into a permanent rig, the same hoists and controllers are stocked to buy - see Chain Hoists and Atlas Hoist Controllers.
Four jobs, one fleet.
Five steps, every hire.
The same discipline whether it is two hoists for a school production or a full arena package: checked out of the fleet, checked back in, with the paperwork in the case.

Ship national
Palletised and freighted to your dock, Australia wide, with the freight booked by us around your load-in window.

Step 04
Run support
A number that answers while the show is on. Assistance, callouts and on-the-road service are available on request for the life of the hire.

Step 05
Collect & inspect back in
Return freight is booked and the kit is inspected back into the fleet - which is exactly why what ships to the next customer arrives right.
Hoist and rigging hire is the calendar lens over TSA's Lifting & Rigging range - the same fleet we sell, install and certify. Buying instead of hiring? Start with Chain Hoists, Atlas Hoist Controllers or the wider Lifting & Rigging range.
The same kit,
on real jobs.
The kit in the hire fleet is the kit TSA installs and certifies at scale - specified, supplied and kept show-ready.
