Compact lift structure composed of four aluminium stacking trusses Ref. TA500-1500 (500 x 500 x 1500 mm). The mast section is fitted with two joining braces ref. TA500-BZ that have aluminium couplers ABZ-24 giving 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, which guarantee maximum safety and strength and at the same time makes it quick and easy to assemble.

The TMD-545/N tower comes with 2 strengthening braces to reinforce the structure and to give it greater stability when raising the load.

As well as being quick and easy to assemble GUIL TMD-545/N have the advantage of being flexible to suit your special requirements with the combination of different section lengths available on request.

LIFTING PROCESS

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 tower can be hoisted into position. The hand winch (AL-KO OPTIMA 901: 900 Kg) is provided with one crank handle and has an automatic braking system; when the tower is raised the brake winch also acts as a counterbalance.

This brake winch, specially designed for lifting heavy loads, is provided with a detachable crank handle to prevent 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 lb) (CE). The hoist has a 6 m load chain and a 6 m hand chain making it effortless to lift the Line Array system. Note: It also 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 to.

2. The front side of the top section has a length of 760 mm, this length together with the tilt-designed mast (3º) 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. 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) 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 100mm) 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 finished in black, anti-scratch powder coating to make it more resistant to outdoor weather conditions.

MAXIMUM SAFETY

TMD-545/N 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/N complies with the safety standards:

• Directive for Machinery Safety 2006/42/CE
• DGUV 17 & 18
• DGUV Rule 115-002 (Formerly BGV-C1)
• DIN EN 17206 (Replaces DIN 56950-1)
• DIN EN 13814

Guaranteeing maximum safety and durability, complying with the light-weight, 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 reduced size for storing and transporting and easy assembly are essential.

The tower is supplied with the interactive application “TMD-545/N APC” for its use outdoors, taking into account the maximum wind speeds permitted by applicable standards.
