We will work on your behalf to coordinate with designers and venues, create technical schedules, compile technical riders, drawings, and budgets, source rental quotes, handle shipping documentation for sets and costumes, oversee set construction, collate lighting, audio and audio-visual packages, book transport and equipment, and hire crew members. In short, we take care of all technical and logistical needs so that you can focus on the creative aspects of your production.

​All our services can be tailored to your needs – whether you need assistance from the first load-in to the last load-out of your international tour or just need to safely move your show from one local city to the next.

RENTAL SOLUTIONS

DRY HIRE

We also “dry hire” our equipment to other rental companies and entertainment professionals who need specific equipment.

​For many years, lighting, audio and audiovisual designers have had to do with what was available in the venue or compromise within the constraints of their rental company’s particular stockholding.

You’ll be pleased to know that there is a local supplier who can offer you precisely what you need at the right price.

RENTAL SOLUTIONS

SCHOOL PACKAGES

Splitbeam offers long-term RENTAL SOLUTIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR SCHOOLS. Because budgets for technical equipment in schools are often low to non-existent, we came up with custom packages that give your students access to the latest technology without giving you the financial stresses that come with owning the equipment.

​Hire all the required equipment at a fraction of the purchase price and without the burden of maintaining the equipment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Units are available for use all year round rather than rented in - at a premium - 2 or 3 times a year.

A capped monthly spend makes for easy budgeting, and you will never again be overcharged for the equipment you need at the height of the season.

Simply upgrade to the latest technology when necessary without additional costs.

Your equipment is always in top condition and working perfectly - we service your equipment regularly onsite as part of the agreement.

Should something stop working, one call to Splitbeam will sort it out. We will drop off a replacement, and you are back up and running. Just like that!
