Developed with very speedy build times in mind, HSL say it is ideal for city centres, green field sites and any other location. With a mast height of 13m to fly point, it has a base size of 4.5 x 4.2m, a maximum payload of 2000kg in wind speeds of up to 44mph or 20m/s. Ballast weighs in at 2400kg and the average build time is around two-and-a-half hours when using a build crew comprising one HSL rigger and four local crew; de-rig is around an hour-and-a-half using the same crew, say the company. On-site machinery required is just one Telehandler for one hour on the in and out.
HSL Rigging supplies a full health and safety policy and structural report directly to the production or site manager. Once the tower is erect and the load is hung HSL will sign off the installation and present a hand over document to the production manager. The 2T-V tower is suitable for hanging all types of PA either from a one or two point pick up. Video screens can also be hung on a single point using spreader truss. The 2T-V Tower is also suitable to hang lighting equipment although weight and distribution is dependent on the main payload weight.
