Prolifts Introduces Two More VMB Line Array Lifts

Prolifts S.L. has released two new VMB TL-A line array lifts which will be presented at Prolight & Sound in Frankfurt, March 21-24. With the launch of the TL-A150 and TL-A300, the company now offers five different solutions for lifting line arrays. The company says this now takes their porfolio of lifts to a total of 17 different models.

The TL-A150 lifts 150kg (331 lbs) to a height of 5.3m (17.4') while the TL-A300 lifts 300kg (662lbs) to 5.8m (19'). Both lifts maintain compact features with the TL-A300 boasting a stowed height of just 1.58m and includes the ALS (auto lock security) system, a safety feature which automatically locks the lift masts as they rise, the company says. The two new lifts also have the new SRS (sequence retianer system) built-in. The SRS means that the sections of the lift rise and descend in sequence, one after the other.

The masts are manufactured from aluminium to keep the weight as low as possible. Steel outriggers and bases, as well as lateral support bars, add further security and stability to the lift. With this special design a line array can be loaded at half a metre from the lift's main body and enabling the array to be curved to achive the desired coverage angle. The Spanish company claims that a line array can be rigged up and lifted in less than 15 minutes.

Also available in the TL-A line array series are the TL-A220 (220kg) and the TL-A320 (320kg) and TL-A450 (450kg).
