From Nook Industries, Inc.
 

 
World class musicians and circus performers alike are being raised to a new level by Nook Industries, Cleveland, OH. Nook ActionJac 5-ton machine screw jacks are being used to lift portions of a stage for the Cirque D'Soleil, a Canadian-based circus performing at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. And, the company's worm gear screw jacks were purchased by a set design company to lift music star Billy Joel's piano on stage.
