Providing the mother grid for the 187sq.m A.C. stand at PLASA09, the Litec RF40 is a heavy load rectangular section aluminium truss with 40cm x 29cm sides. It is strong and compact, offering "excellent performance for its size". Suitable for long spans, it can achieve a uniform distributed load of over 1,000kg over a 20m span and almost 2,500kg over a 10m span (in accordance with Eurocode9). Connections are made using horizontal forks and conical steel pins, minimising the use of corners and accessories when building grid structures.
A range of accessories is available to allow RF40 to interface with the Litec QD30S and QX30S plate ended truss systems, making it suitable for ground support applications and compatible with the large stocks of these trusses already in the market.
The Litec EXE650C1 is a multi-function chain hoist purpose-designed for entertainment applications.
After winning a PLASA Award for Innovation on its launch at the show in 2007, Litec is introducing two new EXE-Lodestar models featuring major software enhancements - the Motion and Action models.
