Fly System Inspection - a scoped inspection of your counterweight flying system by TSA's Competent Inspection Officers: battens, cradles and guides, hauling and loft wires and their terminations, head and loft sheaves and rope locks, assessed against discard criteria with every defect graded on priority and given a rectification timeframe
Trust every line set. Line by line.
A scoped inspection of your counterweight flying system, carried out in-house by TSA's Competent Inspection Officers. Every component - battens, cradles and guides, hauling and loft wires, sheaves and rope locks - assessed against discard criteria, with every defect graded on priority and given a rectification timeframe. The depth a busy fly tower needs.
The whole line set.
Not only the deck.
A fly system inspection goes the full height of the tower - from the rope lock you reach from the floor to the head and loft sheaves you do not. Here are the four component groups we check on every line set, against published discard criteria.
Counterweight cradles & guides
Cradle frames, weight stacks, locking pins and guides - checked for wear, deformation and balance against the batten.
See what we inspectHauling & loft wires
The hauling line that drives the set and the loft wires that carry the batten - assessed against the wire-rope and termination standards.
See what we inspectHead & loft sheaves
Head and loft sheaves and the fleet angle - checked for groove wear, true running and alignment.
See what we inspectRope locks & battens
Rope locks, batten clamps, battens and trim chains - the parts that hold a set where you leave it, checked for grip and security.

Defect grades
Every finding graded, every grade timed.
The action timeframe for each grade, from routine through to remove from service.
| Grade A | Pass - routine |
|---|---|
| Grade B | Pass - monitor |
| Grade C | Pass - monitor or adjust |
| Low | Fail - 6-12 months |
| Medium | Fail - 3-6 months |
| High | Fail - condemned, 0-3 months |
Every set,
checked top to bottom.
A scoped examination of your counterweight flying system, carried out in-house by TSA's Competent Inspection Officers. It is the depth a busy fly tower needs between whole-of-venue Venue Systems Health Checks. Every component gets a compliance result against published discard criteria, and every defect is graded, with a recommended action and a rectification timeframe:
Four jobs, one record.
Trust the line set
Every component checked, not only the ones you can see from the deck.
Catch rope wear
Assessed against published discard criteria, before it lets go.

We work the line set from the rope lock to the loft. Every component is assessed against its discard criteria, every defect is graded on priority, and each finding carries a recommended action with a rectification timeframe.
A scoped inspection, in the depth a fly tower needs.
Each component carries a compliance result against discard criteria, and every defect is graded on priority with a recommended action and rectification timeframe - the graded record of your whole flying system, line by line.
A fly system inspection goes deep on the flying system; the Venue Systems Health Check covers all your stage systems, and the Service & Inspection Programme keeps them current with scheduled visits and a documented history. Either way, every electric chain hoist inspected is load-tested and certified for 12 months. If you want the background first, our guide to theatre fly systems walks through the line set and what the inspection grades.
The rope lock is the focal check.

From a single

The same inspection method scales from a regional fly tower to a major arts centre with 80+ line sets - graded findings, prioritised actions and a record line by line, every time.
