Equipment for movement, height and precise control

We deliver standard and custom projects, from a single component based on a sketch to complete equipment for a new production.

Equipment by Circus WorkshopsA proven design evolving with modern productions

From the first LGPC to integrated systems

In 1980, engineer Vladimir Krasilnikov created an original circus performer lifting winch. Smooth starting, controlled braking and straightforward maintenance made it a working standard for many venues.

Today we retain the strengths of that design while adding modern controls, new materials and engineering tailored to each production.
