Tina Turner: Live in Concert Tour Stage

McLaren performed structural and mechanical engineering, including finite element analysis for complicated mechanical assemblies. In order to complete the evaluation, McLaren engineers assessed all of the stage elements from the Main Stage to the modified JLG man-lift used as a performer lift. This tour included a hydraulic platform lift that was constructed of five-stage telescoping hydraulic actuators that are constantly pressurized, each of which works in conjunction with a corresponding cable winch. Additionally, McLaren re-evaluated Tina’s signature boom lift. The lift consists of a 54 ft cantilevered arm that rises out of the stage and then pivots Tina back and forth over the audience below, thereby creating a thrilling, personal interaction between the performer and her audience.
