You can experience a new dimension of movement possibilities on theatre stages with the omnidirectional movable stage wagons. For the distribution of the vehicles, we have enjoyed a partnership with Ventum-S for years. With our partner, you can experience the combination of Mecanum technology with classic stage elements made of aluminium frames for the fully mobile complete construction of your stage set.
I'LL BET YOU THAT – you ever seen a rotating sofa on TV? Rotating seating enjoys great popularity in stage construction. But the development continues and the stage construction of the future needs more than just rotation and linear movements on rails.
Completely new effects and movements can be realised with Mecanum wheels. There are no more limits to stage construction. Free movements of stage constructions in all directions create effects that amaze the audience. Freedom of movement like an air cushion with the precision and safety of a CNC machine. This allows the director of the show to sit back and relax.
The DONKEYmotion modular system enables the quick installation of individual stage constructions. The MecanumDrives can be connected to any construction known in stage setup. For example, it is possible to screw them directly onto wooden constructions or to flange them onto aluminium trusses. The individual drives can be positioned very freely and can thus be integrated inconspicuously into the design of the stage construction. Four wheels are usually used under a superstructure. Larger stage constructions can be realised by mounting six or eight wheels under a platform.
iRenters of event technology for stage construction are pleased with the compact and robust design of the system components as well as the simple plug-and-play commissioning of our drive systems. On request, we will be happy to deliver your DONKEYmotion rental set in a practical flight case and train your staff in the use of the technology.
Ask us. We look forward to realising the most attractive stage effects with you.

The trolley from our modular system consists of eight MecanumDrive-M-HL and moves up to 12 tons of stage design in towing operation.
