With over 30 patents on various mechanical devices to our credit, GALA is particularly proud of its strong engineering team and its R&D efforts.</p> <li>The SPIRALIFT®, an invention of the two owners of GALA, Pierre Gagnon and Pierre Laforest, has become North Americas most widely used linear actuator for propelling stage and orchestra lifts, making GALA the worlds largest supplier of such lifts.</p> <p ALIGN="center"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT="[horizontal rule]"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT></p> <h2 ALIGN="CENTER"><font SIZE="+1">Description of SPIRALIFT® Types</font></h2> <h3 ALIGN="CENTER">Pierre Mercure Hall, Montreal (Canada)</h3> <p ALIGN="CENTER"><a HREF="mercure.html"><img SRC="/graphics/TNspm.gif" HEIGHT="250" WIDTH="197" BORDER="0" ALT="(Picture of a SPIRALIFT® designed for an existing theatre.)"></a></p> <li>The SPIRALIFT® was first designed to adapt to the needs of an existing theater. Since then, Gala has manufactured lifts for a wide variety of purposes and environments. Each one was adapted for the specific needs of the client.</p> <li>Our first priority is to determine the intended use of the lift. In this example, the orchestra lift is primarily used for orchestra reconfiguration and can also be used to move musical and scenery equipment. Other lifts may be designed to be used as performance stage lifts or for additional seating.</p> <p ALIGN="center"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT="[horizontal rule]"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT></p> <h3 ALIGN="CENTER">Treasure Island Hotel, Las Vegas (United States) </h3> <p ALIGN="CENTER"><a HREF="cirque.html"><img SRC="/graphics/TNcirque1.gif" HEIGHT="210" WIDTH="141" BORDER="0" ALT="(Picture depicting the use of multiple SPIRALIFTs®.)"></a></p> <li>Used by Le Cirque du Soleil in its performances, the stage is made-up of 4 stage lifts that can be operated individually.</p> <p ALIGN="center"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT="[horizontal rule]"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT></p> <h3 ALIGN="CENTER">Freiburg Concert Hall, Freiburg in Breisgau (Germany)</h3> <p ALIGN="CENTER"><a HREF="freiburg.html"><img SRC="/graphics/TNfrib1.gif" HEIGHT="250" WIDTH="193" BORDER="0" ALT="(Picture demonstrating the flexibility of multiple SPIRALIFT® configurations.)"></a></p> <li>SPIRALIFTs® have been incorporated into several multi-purpose halls.

This room frequently offers three different stage and seating configurations in a single day. This installation illustrates how 78 seats can be moved within 8 minutes without any manual intervention. Lifts and seat wagons were designed, manufactured and installed by Gala.</p> <p ALIGN="center"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT="[horizontal rule]"><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT><img SRC="/graphics/ruler.jpg" HEIGHT="7" WIDTH="100" ALT></p> <h3 ALIGN="CENTER">Cosmodôme, Laval (Canada)</h3> <p ALIGN="center"><a HREF="cosmo.html"><img SRC="/graphics/TNcosmo.gif" HEIGHT="125" WIDTH="380" BORDER="0" ALT="(Picture of SPIRALIFTs® for an unique platform.)"></a></p> <li>SPIRALIFTs® have also been used in many unique types of platforms.
