Motorised Lighting Bar & Truss System Australia
Professional Theatre Rigging Solutions
A motorised lighting bar or motorised lighting truss system provides a safer and more efficient way to access, adjust and maintain stage lighting equipment in schools, theatres, churches, auditoriums, function centres and performance venues.
Many venues still rely on fixed overhead lighting bars or suspended trusses. This often means staff or contractors need ladders, scaffolds or elevated work platforms to access lighting fixtures positioned several metres above the floor. A motorised lighting system helps reduce this risk by allowing the lighting bar or truss to be lowered to a safer working height for installation, focusing, maintenance and upgrades.
Key Components of a Motorised Lighting Bar & Truss System
Hoist Motor
The hoist motor is the main lifting component of the system. It raises and lowers the lighting bar or truss to the required working height, allowing lighting fixtures and equipment to be installed, adjusted or maintained more safely from ground level.
The hoist motor selection depends on the total load, lifting height, venue structure and operating requirements. PHANTOS can help specify a suitable hoist motor based on the weight of the truss, lighting fixtures, cabling and any additional equipment.

Energy Chain & Collection Bin
The energy chain manages the movement of power and control cables while the lighting bar or truss is raised and lowered. It helps keep cables organised, protected and guided during operation.
The collection bin provides a dedicated space for the energy chain and cables to collect neatly when the system is lowered or raised. This helps reduce cable tangling, improves system reliability and gives the installation a cleaner, more professional finish.

Aluminum Box Truss
The truss provides the main structure for mounting lighting fixtures, moving heads, LED fixtures, speakers, cables and other production equipment. A load-rated aluminium truss is commonly used for motorised lighting truss systems because it offers strength, flexibility and multiple mounting points.
The correct truss size and type should be selected based on the venue width, load requirement, fixture layout and installation method. PHANTOS can supply truss systems suitable for school halls, theatres, churches, auditoriums and multipurpose venues.
