Rigging tower (line array systems) - Maximum height: 6.43m, Maximun Load : 400 kg

Ref TMD-545

RIGGING TOWER

Rigging tower (Line Array Systems) specially designed for reliable lifting of Line Array Systems or audience lights of up to 400 kg (881.85 lb) to a maximum height of 6.25 metres (20' 6.06").   Its new compact design with castors (one complete unit has a volume of 1.53 m³) gives the TMD-545 Rigging tower easy handling and manoeuvrability, reducing storage space. It is the perfect solution for touring!  Thanks to its easy handling, transport and quick assembly, TMD-545 Rigging Tower can be considered as one of the most convenient and functional towers on the market.  

MAST SECTION 

Compact lift structure composed of four aluminium stacking trusses Ref. TA500-1500 (500 x 500 x 1500 mm  (1' 7.68" x 1' 7.68" x 4' 11.05"). Mast section is fitted with two joining braces that have aluminium claw clamps ABZ-01 that give maximum stability to the mast structure.

These stacking trusses, manufactured with extruded aluminium (Alloy: EN-AW according to 6082 T6) and TIG welded (continuous cord for a maximum resistance), are specially designed to be piled up, reducing storage space and making it easier to handle.  The different truss sections are joined together with conical female couplers with spigots and safety R-springs (Ref. UTR-03), which guarantee maximum safety and resistance and at the same time is quick and easy to assemble.  

GUIL TMD-545 is quick and easy assemble and has the advantage of being flexible to suit your special requirements with the combination of different section lengths. 

 LIFTING PROCESS 

This tower has an easy and quick assembly, thanks to its hinge system, this structure can be assembled by laying it on the floor (horizontally). Once the tower is assembled, using the brake winch, and without any extra effort, the load can be hoisted into position.  The hand winch CF901, is provided with one crank handle, which has an automatic braking system, stopping the load at the desired height.

This winch is certified for a maximum lifting load of 330 kg (661.39 lb) and a maximum pulling capacity of 900 kg (1984.16 lb) (In compliance with standards: BGV C1 and 2006/42/EC). CF901 brake winch, specially designed for lifting heavy loads, is provided with a detachable crank handle to avoid any manipulation during the event and to offer easy and convenient transport and storage.         

PA system is lifted by a hand-chain hoist Ref. POLI/4 certified for a maximum lifting capacity of 2.000 kg (4409.24lb) (CE). The hoist has a double re-send chain, this way the loading weight is evenly spread between both chains, and the Line Array system is lifted easily and safely (without any extra effort, because all the force is made by the chain hoist). Note: It comes with BLC-01 Reinforced Chain bag. 

TOP SECTION

Its frontal part has two functions:    

1. It acts as a reliable arm to fit the POLI/4 chain hoist that lifts the Line Array System.  

2. The front side of the top section has a length of 760 mm (2' 5.92"), this length together with the tilt-designed mast (30) allows the audio equipment to be lifted in a tilted position.   

Its posterior part has two functions:    

1. It allows us to fit the safety hook of the brake winch CF901. Its hinge system at the base of the tower means the tower can be lifted with very little effort.  

2. Once the tower is standing in its working position, by tightening the wire slightly, the top section will act as a counterweight. 

BASE SECTION

Its new compact base structure (640 x 1190 mm / 2' 1.20" x 3'10.85") is designed to be able to store all the components needed to assemble one complete Rigging Tower.   The base structure and its four detachable outriggers are provided with seven screw jacks with non-slip foot plates to guarantee maximum stability and to ensure a perfect adjustment and levelling on uneven surfaces. It has four heavy-duty castors (Ø 100 mm / 3.93") to facilitate its handling and positioning in the working place. 

The base section, equipped with a spirit level for an accurate vertical tower adjustment, is made of sturdy steel (ST37-2 according to DIN 2393) finished in powder anthracite grey coating to prevent rusting problems. 

MAXIMUM SAFETY  

TMD-545 Rigging Tower has been manufactured with the most advanced welding equipment, carefully selecting the raw materials used and controlling the quality of all their components during their manufacturing process.  

TMD-545 complies with the safety standards:
▪ Directive for Machinery Safety 2006/42/EC
▪ BGV C1
▪ DIN 56921-11
▪ DIN 4113-2
▪ NBE EA 95
▪ DBE-SE

Guaranteeing maximum safety and resistance, complying with the lightweight, sturdiness and manoeuvrability requirements needed to lift audio equipment.  These features, together with its special stacking design, makes this lifting structure the perfect complement for temporary assemblies (indoor and outdoor use) in which storing space and easy assembly are essential.
