1.   Forward mounted turret in conjunction with front mounted 5th outrigger allows the crane to work over the front and get closer to set for more height and reach when hiding behind a building or lighting around a corner. All our trucks were designed to work “over the front” and have front outriggers. Our trucks are custom built from new.
  2.  We use the heaviest hydraulic telescoping crane in the industry, a 28 ton capacity that enables the lowest boom angles and the most reach in daylight fill setups
  3.  Our custom designed lighting platforms can rotate 360° at ANY boom angle.
  4.  FILM IS ALL WE DO: you can leave a Starlite rigged on multiple day rentals (no need to derig every day in order for crane to do other work).
  1.  All our driver/operators have the legally required B.C. government crane certification for stiff boom cranes up to 40 tons capacity.                                                                          
  2.  Truck dimensions; height 13.5 feet, length 36 feet, 8.6 feet wide when traveling. weight is 55,000 lbs. with axle weights of 18,000 lbs.front and 37,000 lbs.rear
  1.  Our newest remote system has our latest design which allows 180° lamp “array” rotation at Any boom angle.
  2.  The array has 180 rotation and  is able to backpan to square up with the target after rotating the main boom which has 360° rotation.

REMOTE UNITS
 
 - The Remote head cranes, also called Six-Packs, are self contained units with light fixtures that are permanently mounted on a 130’ crane with an onboard generator. The robotic fixtures are remotely controlled from the ground. The fixtures can be bulbed with HMI, Tungsten or a combination thereof.
 
 - The following configurations are available; 6 x 18Kw HMI Electronic, 6 x 12Kw HMI Electronic or 6 x 12Kw Tungsten (incandescent) or a combination of HMI/Tungsten bulbs. a lower cost option of 12Kw HMI magnetic is also available.
 
  A Remote head crane is a highly cost efficient option for a busy production since it is a one-man operation. 30 minute rig or strike, Starlite Remote does it all hassle-free with one call.
PLATFORM  UNITS  
 
  The Platform cranes, also called basket cranes, have a custom built man basket and an onboard 1500 Amp, 175Kw generator. The production can provide their lights or choose from a variety of lights we can provide to be mounted on the basket.
 
  Starlite can provide your production with our ultra-light Dinos and Maxis. Best of all, the lights arrive with the crane; no need to spend extra resources on pick-up and drop-off and storage of lights. The production provides the lamp operator.
