Order of Operations for Unloading a Theatrical Lineset or Batten
Step-by-step order of operations when removing a load (scenery, lighting, audio, video, etc.) from a theatrical lineset or batten. Most of these steps do require more specific detail in and of themselves, but this is a good reminder to not compromise safety by doing things out of order and always calculating your loads.

I’m getting a bit more traction usually on my TikTok account. Posted this same content there and got almost 20K views overnight. I did just recently pass 1000 subscribers on YT so thankful for that!

I think most of our system is tru-roll. All the blue painted components. But not 100% sure.
