CART SOLUTIONS BY IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION (IHP)

 IHP recently partnered with a client who designed a versatile audience seating system that can be removed in groups of five or fewer – perfect for quickly converting a space from seated events to standing-room-only configurations. To support this flexibility, they needed large, durable carts that could be lifted by a forklift and stacked to maximize floor space.

Carts are stackable for storage and reduce space. 

Chairs from concrete to cart for transport and storage.

Working closely with the theatre team, we engineered multi-use rolling carts that do exactly that. By simply changing out to different length poles, the same carts can be reconfigured for stage or band use, with multiple height options to achieve the exact on-stage look you want.

How high do you want to go? 

Call IHP for the special design or solution to your idea.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM IHP

 

Our IHP staff will be spending Thanksgiving with their families and friends, so our office will be closed Thursday and Friday. However, if you have an urgent need, a quick phone call to any of us, and we’ll be happy to assist with your emergency rental or labor requests.

SANDBAGS WITH CARTS HEADING FOR SHOWSITE BY IHP

At In-House Production (IHP), we had an order for a load of sandbags. We considered the best way for the crew to move the sandbags around on the show floor. We know that if we load the sandbags into large carts, they become far too heavy to move, as we have tried. 

This is why we had 8 carts or sandbags and 1 cart of cheeseboroughs to the order. 

 

The crew moving around the carts at the show site will be glad that each cart has less weight. I know I would. Call for your rental today. 

We also have truss, chain hoists, staging, and labor for your event. Labor can be 2 crew or hundreds of crews.

Flyrail Rope and Hardware at In-House Production

At In-House Production (IHP), we understand the complexities of theater flyrail systems and how every component works together, whether it's a single-purchase, double-purchase, or automated line set. To better support our clients, IHP now stocks 3/4" three-strand purchase line rope, ready for your next rigging project.

Flyrail systems include critical components that wear over time and require regular inspection. At In-House Production (IHP), we specialize in theater flyrail inspections. Our team will assess your system, identify components in good working condition, and provide a detailed report on parts that may need repair or replacement—ensuring your rigging system stays safe and reliable.

Flyrail systems can range from a single arbor loaded with counterweights to more than 50 arbors in use at once. When operated improperly, these systems pose serious safety risks to anyone unfamiliar with their function. That’s why In-House Production (IHP) not only offers thorough flyrail inspections and repairs but also provides on-site training for your staff on the safe and proper use of flyrail systems. Our goal is to help maintain a safe, efficient, and fully compliant theater environment.

 

Just like the purchase line rope, rope locks are subject to wear and tear over time and must be regularly inspected and replaced to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the flyrail system. While rope locks may appear similar and function in the same way, differences in bolt patterns can present challenges when replacing older units with new ones.

 

A well-maintained theater flyrail system can greatly expand the creative possibilities for productions—provided that both the system and its operators have a strong understanding of its functions and are trained to use it safely.

In-House Production (IHP) is here to help.
