VMB Release Two More Line Array Lifters

VMB has released the new TL-A400 and TL-A500 line array lifters. Both lifts have been manufactured to be as compact as possible while retaining all the features of the rest of the line array series, the company says.

The TL-A400 lifts 400kg (882lb) to 6m (19.7') and with a stowed height of just 1.67m is extremely compact. The TL-A500 lifts 500kg (1102lb) to 7m (23') and is the company's most powerful lifter. Both come with the ALS (Auto Lock Security) system, a safety feature which automatically locks the lift masts as they rise. The lift also has the SRS (Sequence Retainer System) built-in to it. The SRS means that the sections of the lift rise and descend in sequence, one after the other.

The masts are manufactured from highest grade aluminium for low weight. Steel outriggers and base as well as lateral support bars add further security and stability to the lifts. The special design means that a line array can be loaded at half a metre from the lift's main body enabling the array to be curved to achieve the desired coverage angle. They also both come with VMB's 1,700kg double handle winch.

The BGV-C1 certified lifts offer a solution for rental companies looking to elevate their line array quickly and safely. 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-A150 (150kg) TL-A220 (220kg) and the TL-A300 (300kg).
