2.1 Load
The working load limit of the rigging frame is 3,000 kg.
It is important to note that each (GTO) element for which this rigging structure has been
designed weighs approximately 96 kg., to which 6 kg. have been added, as a
precautionary measure, to take into consideration additional loads, mainly due to
connecting cables. This means that the number maximum of GTO enclosures that can be
suspended is twenty-four (in fact, 24 * (96 + 6) = 2448 kg ≈ 2450 kg ≈ 24500 N) with a
margin of 550 kg in order to take into consideration any overloading due to the overhang
of the centre of gravity compared to the connection points between the first element and
the frame, particularly when using more than twenty elements).
It must be noted that the aforementioned values regard conditions in which there are no
lateral forces, such as wind, for example. In the event of such forces’ action, they must
be prevented from creating further load on the structure, or they will reduce the safety
factor. In this case, it is advisable to use dedicated stay wires to hold the system still.
