Skylift Lands the Leading Role with Bennylite

Lutterworth, United Kingdom, April 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Following the successful launch of Bennylite’s new film lighting unit at the prestigious British Society of Cinematographers Show, Nationwide Platforms’ vehicle mount division, Skylift, has designed and manufactured a bespoke frame enabling the lighting unit to be used on their 44, 50 and 62 metre machines. This provides safe, secure and versatile lighting positions at height.

Designed to supersede all other mass lighting systems, the new unit received considerable praise from a wide range of highly placed industry professionals for its unique operating system, high specifications and exceptionally high levels of light, along with its original remote control pan and tilt system.

This state of the art improvement in film lighting has been several years in development, and following its release, Bennylite approached Skylift, the UK’s leading hirer of vehicle mounts to develop a powered access mounting to elevate the unit safely.

“We chose Skylift as our partner because of its long standing relationship with the film and television industry, the quality and range of its equipment, its record of safety and its ability to provide tailor made solutions”, said Adam Lee, Director of Bennylite and the unit’s creator.

Gary Brady of Skylift commented, “It is a great honour to be selected as Bennylite’s partner and it further demonstrates that the work we have carried out over many years establishing ourselves as the powered access supplier of choice for film and television, continues to be recognised by major players in the industry”.

Following positive feedback from Directors of Photography and Gaffers at the show, it is expected that the unit will be used on a number of major feature films in the very near future.
