prefer with a ark roof and ground support roof design and enables lighting, etc. to be pre-rigged before raising using hand-winches

Prolyte do several systems which would fit the dimensions, have a look at their website. I know they do the ARC Roof, Tunnel Roof, Flat Roof & MPT System, not sure if they still offer hand winches for the MPT, but they used to, price for MPT Roof 8M x 6M is approx £100k bracket. Not the cheapest, but they are very good systems.

Hi - we have the Milos MR1 roof system 8m x 6m customised so it is built entirely from extra thick walled quad truss and on self-climbing ground supports - similar to Prolyte but less expensive - £30,000 - £35,000. It's very safe and looks superb. Try calling Glen at Milos - he is brilliant! check out pics under stage hire on our website www.igoepahire.co.uk

If you can afford to go the Prolyte route then you have the better known brand and very good support network and safety record - it shouldn't cost £100,000 more like £50,000 for a 8m x 6m Arc.

Just to clarify that the ballpark price of 100k was for a Prolyte MPT Roof system, based on having been involved in buying one at least 8 years ago and the drastic change in the Euro x rate & Aluminium prices since then, still very ballpark though!

Also worth pointing out the the Prolyte Arc roof systems are not self-climbing and are designed to be built/raised entirely by hand or with the assitance of some truss/superlifts - the latter being necessary if you are planning to pre-rig your lx kit.
