Quick answer: Hanging (flying) LED screen installation suspends rental cabinets from a flying bar using rated chain hoists and rigging points. Always check the manufacturer’s maximum hanging height and weight per column, use secondary safety cables, and let a certified rigger confirm the truss or roof load.
Hanging LED installation is one of the most common methods used in:
- rental stages
- concerts
- événements itinérants
- exhibition halls
- églises
- hotel ballrooms
Unlike wall-mounted systems, hanging structures must handle:
- dynamic load
- suspension safety
- montage rapide
- transportation efficiency

Why Weight Matters So Much in Hanging Systems
Heavy structures create:
- higher rigging pressure
- transportation difficulty
- increased installation risk
This is why modern rental LED systems increasingly use:
- die-casting aluminum cabinets
- structures légères
- quick-lock systems
Destiné tout particulièrement à :
- spectacles en tournée
- événements en direct
- international exhibitions
le rendement de l'installation revêt alors une importance capitale.
Why Safety Is Critical in Hanging Installations
Suspended LED systems must always consider:
- load calculation
- rigging safety
- truss capacity
- wind resistance
- locking reliability
Cela revêt une importance particulière dans les cas suivants :
- outdoor concerts
- stadium events
- large-scale festivals

Why Fast Installation Matters in Rental Projects
Many live event projects operate under extremely tight schedules.
Rental systems therefore prioritize:
- fast locking
- quick alignment
- modular design
- efficient transportation
Saving even small amounts of setup time can significantly improve overall project efficiency.
Safe Rigging Checklist for Hanging LED Screens
- Confirm roof or truss load ratings, including dynamic loads.
- Use flying bars matched to the cabinet system and within the rated number of cabinets per column.
- Lift with rated chain hoists; keep loads balanced between hoists.
- Lock every cabinet connection and check curved or flat locks.
- Add secondary safety steel cables on every hanging point.
- Keep people out of the area below while lifting and inspect before each show.
DDW Engineer Notes: Hanging LED screen installation
Many installation problems during live events are not caused by LED cabinets themselves.
Most issues actually come from:
- rushed rigging
- unstable truss systems
- improper load calculation
- poor cable management
Professional hanging installation is always a combination of LED engineering and structural engineering.
FAQ
How high can a rental LED screen be hung?
It depends on the cabinet and flying bar rating. Many rental systems allow around 10–20 cabinets per column; always follow the manufacturer’s load table.
What safety equipment is needed to fly an LED screen?
Rated chain hoists, shackles, flying bars, secondary safety cables and a certified rigger are the minimum for hanging LED screens.
Can a hanging LED screen be curved?
Yes. Many rental cabinets have curve locks that allow concave or convex hanging arcs, usually in small angle steps.
