Beacon Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Is the any limits to the weight/size of bits of set that can be flown into the tower during a show? Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Yes. It will depend on... a) the size of the towerb) the size of the items to be flownc) the design of the setd) the maximum loading for individual barse) the maximum loading for the whole fly system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 It's d and e you are really after and the venue should be able to tell you what these are. But be aware, these are for spread loads. If the bars have a SWL (safe working load) of 250kg, that is for an evenly spread load across the bar. You can not just hang a point load of 250kg off say the middle of the bar. Also, even if there are 20 bars, individually rated at say 500kg, you can not necessarily hang 500kg on every bar. The total SWL load of the grid may be less than the sum of the SWL of the bars.
