Pronal’s flexible and inflatable solutions are used across a wide range of demanding industrial sectors, including the environment, defence, energy, maintenance and safety. Their versatility also enables them to meet more unexpected needs, particularly in the fields of art, live performance and audiovisual production.
In these environments, technical constraints are often significant : lifting, floating, moving, stabilising, creating a temporary structure or operating in a complex environment. Thanks to their custom-made design and adaptability, Pronal solutions can support a wide variety of artistic projects, from cinema and contemporary dance to the handling of artworks and stage elements.
Pronal solutions for the film industry
The audiovisual industry regularly relies on technical equipment capable of meeting precise and sometimes unconventional requirements. In film productions, Pronal solutions can be used to support staging, secure certain operations or enable the creation of special effects.
A Pronal RDF underwater lifting unit was notably used for maintenance operations related to the filming of a movie released on a world-renowned streaming platform. This solution provides buoyancy for equipment or technical components while ensuring stability and resistance in a specific environment.
Pronal High-Pressure Air Lifting Bags – CLT 30, together with their accessories, were also supplied for a film special-effects project. Their purpose was to lift containers, an operation requiring power, precision and controlled movement.
For this type of project, high-pressure air lifting bags offer a major advantage: they can lift heavy loads in confined spaces with fast and progressive deployment. These features make them particularly suitable for film production crews, who must combine safety, efficiency and creative freedom.
Handling works of art and sensitive items
Pronal solutions can also be used for the handling of artworks, statues and sensitive items requiring precise manipulation. As part of an artistic or heritage project, moving a statue requires numerous precautions to preserve its integrity and minimise the risks associated with lifting or repositioning.
Inflatable lifting solutions distribute the load across a wider surface area and enable gradual movement without sudden impacts. This approach is particularly suitable for handling heavy, fragile or hard-to-access items.
Whether moving a statue, positioning a stage element or supporting a delicate handling operation, Pronal inflatable jacks provide a compact, powerful and adaptable solution capable of meeting on-site constraints.
An inflatable structure for choreographic creation
Pronal solutions also have a role to play in the live performance sector. For the Montpellier Choreographic Centre, Pronal designed an inflatable structure intended to integrate seamlessly into an artistic and stage environment.
As part of a choreographic project, an inflatable structure can become much more than a simple piece of technical equipment. It can contribute to the scenography, transform the perception of space, support the dancers’ movements or create an evolving stage set.
The flexibility, lightness and modularity of inflatable solutions allow artists and technical teams to develop original installations while benefiting from a solution that is easy to install, transport and adapt to the venue’s constraints.
Technology in the service of creativity
Whether in cinema, special effects, live performance or the handling of artworks, artistic projects require solutions capable of adapting to highly specific applications. Pronal puts its industrial expertise at the service of these creative projects by providing reliable, durable products designed to meet real-world technical constraints.
This ability to operate in a wide range of environments highlights the versatility of Pronal solutions. A flotation unit, an air lifting bag or an inflatable structure can therefore become an essential tool in the successful completion of an artistic project.
By supporting these projects, Pronal demonstrates that technical innovation can also serve the imagination, staging, the preservation of artworks and artistic creation. Inflatable solutions are not limited to traditional industrial applications; they can also help bring cultural, visual and stage projects to life.
