Our slider systems provide precise, track-based movement for scenic elements and props. Designed to be quiet, discreet and robust, they support everything from subtle scenic shifts to full-stage tracking effects. Using proven systems such as Triple E ChainBeam and ChainTrack, as well as bespoke made to order solutions, we deliver smooth, accurate and reliable motion fully integrated into your wider automation system.
We deliver refined and reliable slider systems that allow scenic elements and tracked props to move seamlessly across the stage. Whether you’re integrating dynamic tracking into a set design, moving a full stage truck, or creating subtle movement for a lighting boom, we provide comprehensive slider solutions that blend technical precision with creative intent. Our slider systems are designed to be discreet, quiet, and robust, making them ideal for use on stage. We supply fully automated tracked movement using a range of methods, tailored to suit the creative and practical needs of the production. From ultra-low-profile floor-mounted systems to overhead tracked carriages, we support a wide spectrum of movement requirements. We are an official distributer of industry-proven systems such as Triple E’s ChainBeam and ChainTrack products, giving us a versatile foundation to build upon. These chain-based linear drives offer dependable and powerful motion, ideal for applications requiring long runs, compact footprints, or under-stage concealment. Where required, we also are able to integrate into steel wire rope, rack-and-pinion and belt-driven systems, ensuring that the slider mechanism is always matched to the scale, weight, and duty cycle of the intended movement. Our bespoke control systems allow these mechanisms to be fully integrated into your wider automation package, synchronised with lifts, revolves, or flying elements. With absolute encoder feedback, precise motion control, the result is smooth, accurate, and reliable tracking, every time.
From design to delivery, we support productions with a full service, whether that’s hire of a slider mechanism, turnkey integration into your scenic build, or engineering consultancy to help develop your own slider infrastructure. Our experience spans touring shows, West End musicals, and one-off immersive events. We work closely with scenic manufacturers, we can advise on best practices for slider integration, including guidance on parts selection, cable management and future maintenance. Whether it’s a concealed truck glide or a fully visible scenic journey, Absolute Motion Control brings track-based movement to life with confidence and precision.
