Atlantic Hydraulic Systems was summoned to design and manufacture the hydraulic and control system for the largest moving stage in the world.
A massive 1425 HP hydraulic power unit and hydraulic accumulator stand were combined to produce:
- 2800 GPM
- 4600 PSI
The longest hydraulic cylinders ever produced by Parker Hannifin launches the 200 ton stage 70 ft into the air.
Then tilts it 100 degrees and spins it at an infinite number of turns.

Hydraulics provide the power and control to rise the witch 20ft above the stage as the song “Defying Gravity” brings ACT 1 s to a climax.
The Wicked Hydraulic Levitator which raises the actress into the air does not contain an on-board hydraulic power unit.
A remote hydraulic power unit charges up accumulators on the levitator prior to being detached.
Proportional valves and redundant circuitry are employed to insure the actress’ safety.

As the opening scene unfolds, Pride Rock slowly rotates and rises from the stage driven by Parker piston accumulators and Parker PV series piston pumps. Atlantic Hydraulic Systems’ Hydraulic Power Unit, Hydraulic Manifolds, Cylinders and Hydraulic Accumulators have been powering this stage since 1995.
The hydraulics rake (tilt) the stage, raise three downstage small stages on scissor lifts, raise Pride Rock and actuate locking mechanisms scattered through the stage.
