About Kanasa

We engineer what hangs above the studio.

Kanasa Technology designs, manufactures and supports self-climbing hoists, lighting and control systems for television and broadcast studios — built to last and backed for the long run.

Our story

From rigging contractors to system engineers

Kanasa began on the studio floor — rigging lights and solving the same overhead problems again and again. We started building our own hoists to fix what off-the-shelf gear couldn't.

Today we engineer complete overhead systems — hoists, lighting and control — manufactured in-house and supported for the life of the studio.
