Logistics

Transportation of on-hire and fly-gear equipment is an important adjunct to our backline production services.

Simply advise the location and scheduled time and we’ll have your hire &/or fly gear delivered either to your hotel or stage, set up and ready for your crew and artists to tweak at soundcheck – according to your stage plot, of course. Or we’ll simply do a “dump ‘n run” to save you some bucks. Your comfort and confidence is our favourite musical key. Do note we operate under the Live Music Awards with regulatory compliance to after-hours plus Sunday and Public Holiday (min. 4hr call) requirements.

We do not allow dry hire of equipment over $600 hire value – unless pre-approved by management.
