PRG Belgium has recently received a large batch of ProLyft Pro controllers, which
will instantly be deployed on productions. After a thorough selection procedure,
Prolyte was selected to supply PRG Belgium with its’ high-end control systems.
Investing in 30 12-way control units is the first step in further professionalizing and
renewing their rigging department.

PRG’s Segment Advisor Rigging, Stef De Raet and Michiel van der Zijde, Product
Manager ProLyft, met during the STEPP contact days, with the leading leitmotiv of
“Lifting above the public’. Both entirely dedicated to making rigging as safe as
possible, discussing about rigging, regulations, and how the market will develop
towards the future, they shared their common vision on how safer products can
contribute to improve work floor safety, an obvious concern for all involved in
rigging. “Whenever you’re ready – come to us’ was De Raet’s reply back then.

“When we were ready’ Van der Zijde remembers, “We were convinced we had the
right product for them, so Bruno Lerminiaux (Distributor Manager for Prolyte)
invited Stef De RFaet to come to Leek for one day of brainstorming. Asking the
question of how PRG would like to be positioned in 10 years, verses 2 years,
opened their eyes to the philosophy behind our controllers. They are built for the
future. Implementing the possibility for load measuring, overload protection and
encoders in our controllers really convinced them of the assets the ProLyft
controllers will be to their productions’.

At the end of June, Lerminiaux, invited by De Raet, was enjoying himself immensely
– helping to build the Rock Werchter festival to refresh his road-skills, They
continued their discussion on rigging and rigging controls. Considering that PRG was
looking to replace their old rigging controls and ProLyft just launching its new series
of Pro controllers, both found themselves seeing eye-to-eye.

After a demo day in PRG Belgium’s offices, both parties were convinced it was a
match. “The philosophy behind the Pro controllers reflects our view on safe rigging,’
states De Raet. “We were totally impressed by functionality, the safety of the
controllers, the control functions and the fact that all these functions are made
visible. That’s a great advantage when you work in conditions without much
daylight. The sealed front-panel with integrated buttons and its’ very user-friendly
interface makes it an easy and intuitive system to work with. Furthermore, we have
benefited from the excellent support from the complete ProLyft team – I know of no
other party that can deliver this level of support.’

“We now have invested in thirty 12-way units, for PRG this is a first step in further
professionalizing and renewing our rigging department’, De Raet continues.

The ProLyft Pro controllers are fully compliant with the latest standards, regulations
and quality demands. They are built as a growing system, so you can easily convert
them to adapt load monitoring systems or encoders. The whole system follows the
thought process from a riggers point of view, which is quite unique.
