MGG invests in Kinesys

The first South African rental company to invest in Kinesys automation is MGG, based in Linbropark, Johannesburg. The purchase comprises 16 x LibraCell load monitoring shackles and a fully specified D8+ 8-way DigiHoist controller, supplied via Electrosonic, the exclusive Kinesys re-seller in South Africa.

Herman Mentz, head of rigging & structures at MGG explained that Kinesys motion control is a new concept for the South African market and something they had been considering for a while - to ensure that the best safety standards can be applied and maintained for shows utilising automation.

They met Kinesys’ founder and MD Dave Weatherhead on a visit to SA, and shortly after this, the order was placed for the first 8 x LibraCell load measuring shackles and the DigiHoist controller. These went straight out on a corporate event at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. At the end of 2015, the system was in action again for the Afrikaans Is Groot event, a 7-day music festival staged in Moreleta Church, Pretoria.

The LibraCells were such a big success for MGG that they purchased another eight with a LibraBasic system and LibraView software which allows data from (up to 25) LibraCells to be viewed and logged on a laptop. This gives them two Kinesys based load monitoring systems which are needed for the busy periods.
