SILENT STEEL®  is the most famous name in heavy-duty stage curtain tracks. Model 280 steel (380 steel (aluminum available)) is used in the majority of stage installations with heavy weight curtains of almost any length and is particularly quiet in operation. Models 281(381) and 282(382) can be used for heavier curtains. They are essentially identical to Model 280(380) except Model 281(381) is equipped with neoprene-tired ball-bearing carriers and Model 282(382) is supplied with nylon tired ball-bearing carriers. Both systems are equipped with larger diameter floor and end pulleys.
