Mark 1 ShowTower

ground

ground

Safely lifts 2000lbs up to a height
of 28’ft.28’ft Mast
uses 12in ShowTower trussing as Mast.

 The Mark 1 ShowTower: a self erecting, freestanding ground support tower giving you an over head rigging point wherever it is needed.


•The ShowTower System was invented for applications when a Genie Lift doesn’t do it. With basically the same footprint as the Genie Lift you get higher load capacity (2000lb vs. 750lb) and a more ridged tower.
•Lift small roof systems, SpeedGrid systems, green screens, rain covers, blackout tents, backings, etc.

Comes standard with:
1 x 16ft section
1 x 8ft section
1 x 4ft section
1 x 2ft section

THIS PERMITS REDUCTIONS IN HEIGHT AT 2'FT INCREMENTS.

Self-Climbing Tower Systems
Each tower consists of truss for the mast, a head block for the chain of the lifting motor to go over and a sleeve block, a corner block that slides up and down the out side of the tower truss that that the horizontal truss is bolted to.
These systems are normally used with a minimum of four towers (like a table) to support a truss frame or roof system. The towers rely on the attached truss or grid to brace the towers vertically eliminating the need for outriggers, resulting in a "cleaner" look and a smaller footprint. The ShowRig Sleeve Blocks have multiple bolt hole patterns to allow for SpeedGrids or a variety of different size trusses to be bolted to them to them. This allows you to choose the best truss and tower combination to meet your span and load requirements.
