British Harlequin plc will be exhibiting at the PLASA07 show to be held at London’s Earls Court, 9th to 12th September. Showing a wide range of examples from their extensive range on stand D73, visitors will able to compare stage, studio and dance floor coverings and sprung floor systems, plus there will be expert support on hand to provide guidance and advice.

Being exhibited for the first time at PLASA will be a demonstration of a new flying ballet wagon that permits a fully sprung dance floor to be used for dance performances and quickly removed and stored vertically when not required.

The aluminium-framed mobile wagon incorporates Harlequin Liberty sprung floor panels retained by a special Hoac® system, which allows them to be stored vertically in the fly tower, but also ensures unobstructed movement of the Liberty panels when the wagon is horizontal on the stage floor. Developed in conjunction with the German company Hoac®, originally for Het Muziektheater in Amsterdam and recently supplied to the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki, the system can be customised to suit the particular requirements of any customer.

Commenting on prospects for this year’s show, Marketing Manager, Monica Arnott said, ‘We are looking forward to gaining many interesting new enquiries and meeting customers from overseas. Harlequin will also be showing the Hi-Shine range of flooring which is proving popular for display, exhibition, special events and TV applications.’
