Design Smart developed the innovative Monstavision QuikRig framing system. The loose design brief given was to improve their portable display screen solution, which was far from elegant. It was completely over-engineered using a steel column structure mounted to the back of a truck. We conceived a fabricated post machined aluminium frame with a clamping system and then fully designed this. It encompassed extensive wind load calculations. The accuracy of the post N/C machined adjoining faces on the lightweight Aluminium weldment frame combined with the strength of standard off the shelf industrial clamps for joining panels together provided the ideal solution.

Each individual fully assembled display panel mounted onto the supporting individual box frame is able to be carried by a single person / rigger and is hooked into place with another QuikRig panel box frame or load bar, before then activating the clamps. QuikRig was designed with the road warrior, screen technician and event manager in mind as it takes the hassle out of screen rigging and de-rigging. A 40 square metre screen can be completely assembled by two people in less than 2 hours. QuikRig has been seen as step change in lightweight, highly durable and convenient screen framing solutions in this industry.
