How WE Work

Inspections & Maintenance

Extend the economic life of your stage system

Annual inspections and maintenance are essential for the daily use and lifespan of your installation. In case of human interaction, like in theatres and opera’s, safety on stage for operators and artists is a precondition. Following EU-legislation and regulations in the Machine Directive, the owner of an installation ensures maintenance and machine inspections for proper functioning.

SCALA serves its customers with overall maintenance and inspection programs that are in accordance with the applicable regulations. SCALA staff is skilled in safety inspections and maintenance of theatre- and opera-installations.

As a Certified Excellence Partner of Bosch Rexroth, SCALA has access to Rexroth databases, experts and developers. SCALA is trained, skilled and can scale up using Rexroths expert pool.

Testing

SCALA will perform safety tests to ensure your stage system is functioning within the applicable safety norms. These tests include load- and break tests, as well as measuring and calibrating of your stage system. The results may give reason for changes or repair.

Maintenance

During maintenance, the components at risk and broken items are replaced. Cleaning, topping up oil, checking lubrication points, exchanging hydraulic hoses, etc. In all cases it is recommended to have critical spare parts on shelve; for efficiency reasons (instant replacement) as well as for effective reasons (prevent downtime).
