When it comes to constructing towering stage structures for concerts, festivals, or large-scale events, every second counts—and safety is non-negotiable. The PESCO Smart Spider PSJ 120-20 Powered Ascender redefines efficiency and reliability in high-altitude rigging, offering crews a tool that’s as robust as it is revolutionary.
Why the Smart Spider PSJ 120-20 Dominates Concert Rigging
Imagine a scenario: Your team is tasked with hoisting heavy lighting rigs, speaker arrays, and LED screens to heights of 20 meters—all within a tight deadline. Traditional manual methods slow progress, while outdated equipment risks safety and precision. This is where the Smart Spider PSJ 120-20 steps in.

1. Unmatched Safety for High-Stakes Environments
   Safety isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation. Engineered with dual braking systems and automatic load detection, the PSJ 120-20 ensures stability even when lifting loads up to 120 kg. Its anti-reversal mechanism prevents accidental slips, while the emergency stop function reacts instantly to irregularities. For crews working at dizzying heights, this ascender acts as a fail-safe partner, adhering to international safety standards (CE, ISO-certified).
2. Power Through Heavy Loads with Ease
   Concert rigging demands muscle. The PSJ 120-20 delivers a staggering 120 kg load capacity, tackling bulky trusses, motors, and equipment without breaking a sweat. Its high-torque motor and aircraft-grade steel cable are built to endure repetitive use, making it ideal for multi-day festivals where speed and durability collide.
3. Speed That Beats the Clock
   Time is money—and in live events, delays cost even more. With a lifting speed of 20 meters per minute, the Smart Spider outpaces manual labor by 300%. Raise a 100 kg lighting rig to 15 meters in under 45 seconds, then repeat. This efficiency lets crews focus on perfecting stage design rather than wrestling with slow hoists.
4. Streamlined Workflow, Maximized Output
   The PSJ 120-20 isn’t just fast—it’s smart. Its ergonomic remote control allows operators to manage lifts from a safe distance, while the intuitive interface minimizes training time. Need to adjust positioning mid-air? The precision speed control ensures millimeter accuracy. For crews juggling complex rigging layouts, this tool turns chaos into coordination.
   Real-World Impact: From Setup to Showtime
   At a recent international music festival, a rigging team used the PSJ 120-20 to assemble a 25-meter-high stage structure in just 6 hours—a task that typically took 12+ hours with manual ascenders. The result? Early soundchecks, stress-free rehearsals, and a flawless opening act.
