Achernar Grip Kit — Van
Tax included where applicable. Delivery calculated at checkout.
ELVARNIXO Rigging — gravity, negotiated
The Achernar is a van's worth of yes: c-stands, arms, knuckles, flags and sandbags that match and interlock, cased and labelled the way 5 a.m. hands need, with the inventory list laminated because rain exists.
Overhead systems are engineered like the ceilings they hang from: rails rated with margin, carriages that glide under load, pantographs balanced so one hand moves what one hand should. Mounting must be to load-bearing structure by a qualified contractor — keep the installer's documentation, because studio insurance reads paperwork, not brochures.

Care
Wipe risers dry after exteriors, keep knuckles free of grit, and a drop of dry lube on threads twice a year. Check load pins and safety cables before every overhead rig — thirty seconds that insurance adjusters never get to bill.
Questions, Answered
What are the real load ratings?
Stamped on the equipment and stated in the listing, tested at double before a batch ships. If you need more, rig bigger — never closer to the limit.
Are spares available?
Knuckles, castors, pins and springs are available as spare parts — grip should be repaired, not landfilled.
