ronknights Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi, looking around for a pair of roughly 4m high tripod stands for holding 6-8m of truss, each stand capable of 80kg ish. I'm sure there used to be quite a few available around the £150 mark, but all seem to rated down to 30kg now. Does anyone know anything about this? The other option is proper truss lifts, but that's getting into 4 figure for a pair which is much more than the budget!Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks all!

StevieR Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I don't think your going to find such a stand at around £150.00. We have Powerdrive Winch stands which can take up to 65kg but these were around £350 when we purchased these. We also have Doughty Stratas which are the correct type of stands for truss and these can take a load of 150kg each. Hope this helps, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Remo Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Extracted from used lighting's PDF list Mobil Tech 5,5M 225KG Lifts with truss & half coupler Adap £225.00 Used ULH31052 http://www.mobiltech.co.uk is the website for the manufacturer, I think these are from the ALP Tech range. Closest I can find to your budget, but suitably over engineered to leave room for expansion of your needs. From the same manufacturer I also have a pair of SpTech 4000's, and whilst I do use them for truss bridges most of the time I need a larger weight capacity. Certainly out of your budget new, the heavier duty ones above would be a cheaper (and possibly better) option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Mobil Tech stands are awsome for this kind of thing. Use the £150 to hire with, and get SP5500s or 65000s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopper Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I prefer the VMB lifts www.vmb.es Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
