1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Prolyte Tower & Ground Support systems are lifting tools where the load is constrained in its
horizontal movement by means of a Sleeve block, that is build around, and lifted along, the tower
sections. The MPT-Tower has a loading capacity that is limited by the lifting machinery: 750 kg for the
hand winch, or 1000 kg for an electric or hand operated chain hoist. In general towers and ground
support systems are used where the lifting of loads from a building structure is impossible, very
expensive, or when traditional telescopic winch stands do not have a sufcient in load capacity. MPT-
Towers use a vertical mast of standardized H30V truss as compression absorbing elements, these have
much better strength and stability characteristics than traditional stands.
2. LIMITATIONS OF USE
The MPT tower system is to be used with Prolyte trusses only. Loads to the trusses and towers shall be
vertical only, no side loading is allowed to the system.
The MPT system is designed as temporary lifting structure for indoor use only. When used outdoors
or when horizontal loading is applied appropriate measures, such as placing guy-wires (cable-stays)
and ballast, have to be taken to ensure stability.
The MPT system is to be built by competent and trained persons only. For all other applications
contact your local dealer or Prolyte.
3. SCOPE OF USE
Prolyte’s MPT-towers are designed for the lifting of truss spans over stages, dance oors, exhibition
area’s etc, where equipment such as lighting-, sound-, drapes or decoration elements is suspended. This
can either be a single (stand-alone) Tower, a Goal post conguration (two towers with a single span) or
in a rectangular set ups with 4, 6 tower ore more.
