With that load, check what position the load
should have on the tower fork. Take into account
that the truss is supported by two points of the
fork. To find out which is the largest load, take
the farthest position from the base of the fork.
Figure 63
Choose the FT tower model. Check for the value
immediately above the load you need. With this
value, take the exact position to which the
accessory for fixing the truss must be placed.
