GROUND SUPPORT SYSTEM






Today we tryed the NEW PRO-LIFTER 40 for the first time on a jobsite. I have to say "WOW". I took 3 hours from the street to hanging light with 4 riggers. 32' x 28' with 25' legs. Not 1 person had to walk the tower up, climb the leg to hang the motor over. All we did was build the leg, put in on the PRO-LIFTER 40 and watch it stand up. In a couple of minutes, the leg was standing up with the chain motor pluged in and working. No ropes, No walking the truss.

At loadout we were done taking down the ground support system and loading the truck. It took less then 2 hours with only 4 riggers. All the install crew were SAFE as the legs went up, and SAFE as the legs came down. This was In-House Production 4 leg Ground Support System we sude the PRO-LIFTER 40 on. The PRO-LIFTER 40 is avabilite for rent in Las Vegas. I have added photos to look at.

IHP TRUSS TOWER SYSTEM AND HOW WE LIFT IT


12" TOWER TRUSS SYSTEM
"SAFE TO USE AND CREW FRIENDLY"
Something new for TOWER TRUSS. We built our own lifting system for our use, but you can buy one at LIFTER SYSTEMS. We have put together ours to stand our own 30' tower truss up with the chain motor hanging on the headblock. This is SAFE to use for the crew (you do not need 8 crew members to lift or lower the tower. No need to climb to the top of the tower and lift the chain over the headblock when installing). The lift works on 110 POWER. Just plug it into the wall. 2 people can take down 4 towers 30' tall truss towers SAFELY in less then 1 hours. When tower is down, you then remove the chain motors, unbolted truss and then put on carts. We had a tower pull over a scissor lift with a person in it and he did get hurt. No more of people getting hurt.

CABLE GRIPPER VIDEO / ProLocks

The video's is out. 2 training videos or now on our web site. They are under training. Get an idea about the use of Cable Grippers or as we call them "ProLocks". How to use them and what they can be used for. We also talk about "ProGrips". Take 1 "ProGrips" add a 3/8"x16 thread size Eye Bolt and you have a VerLock or RiteLock. When using the VerLock or Rite Lock, the Eye Nut is rated to carry more weight then the cable gripper "ProGrip". Working load of the Eye Nut is aroung 1000lb and the ProGrip working load is only 225lb for 1/8" aircraft cable. "ProLocks" are all one pieces. Check the Video out for more on "ProLocks".
