Beau Southey, managing director of Brown’s Precision Welding and designer of the Multifunction Tower, says: "The BWT is designed to maximise the usability of every component and integrate effectively with which ever truss the end-user requires including any existing rental stocks. Even the sleeve block may be used independently as a truss corner block."
The tower itself comprises a sleeve block with adaptive connector plate, base plate, outrigger supports, rolling head and sections of Brown’s 400mm box truss to achieve the desired tower height. The following industry standard truss sizes are compatible with the standard system, and are also available from Brown’s Precision Welding - additional truss sizes may be accommodated through customisation of the adaptive connector plate.
The BMT is already in production with a range of options to suit every need, including hand winches for smaller loads and hanging bridles for speaker arrays. All the company’s products may be customized to suit any application. As with all of the Brown’s Precision Welding trusses independent engineers reports are available. Applications include individual towers, ideal for PA and lighting systems; truss arches; ground support systems, and roof systems, suitable for outdoor stages and location film lighting.
