2. COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
2.1. LOAD CAPACITY
The whole structure (frame bar, single hardware
elements, locking pins etc.) to hang the array of
Su-
perfly
/
Mantas 28
enclosures is approved to support
a maximum load that is determined by the calcula-
tions made with OpenArray2 (for the arrays of Man-
tas 28, Superfly or both). It can be of help to remem-
ber the following maximum load capacity values:
• 24 x
Mantas 28
………………. 576 kg (1270 lb)
• 16 x
Superfly
………………….. 608 kg (1340 lb)
DO NOT ABSOLUTELY exceed the limits imposed
by
OpenArray2
by adding other elements not making
part of the project (chapter 3).
The weight distribution has been studied to be the
safest possible while respecting the load in relation
to the array’s center of gravity.
The above mentioned values refer to the total ab-
sence of lateral forces (strong wind for example).
In case these forces are present, it is necessary to
avoid any overload of the structure that could com-
promise its safety. It is highly recommended to use
special support means to keep the system still. In
case of potentially dangerous situations it is advi-
sable to contact engineers and experts specialized
in suspended loads.
To perform all the rigging steps correctly, it is essential to know the components that make part of the sound
reinforcement system and their characteristics. These, in addition to the data provided by
OpenArray2
projects
that will be analyzed in chapter 3, will ensure compliance with all the established and certified parameters to
always guarantee public safety during the executive phases carried out by the authorized personnel.
