Re: Line Array Carts
I thought that with the line arrays I've encountered, you have the option of ground stack or fly so shouldn't the ratings on the hardware work in either direction? In which direction does the dynamic loading become more of an issue? Under the stresses of over the road trucking or when being flown with chain hoists? So with that in mind, one has to examine the actual hardware to determine if its obvious to where the weak link lies.
Mccauley M-Line
75Lbs per
33" Wide including pins
21" Deep
Truck door height 6'
Truck box width 80"
Shop door width 33"
I have a lift gate so weight isn't that much of a concern but, from some quick calculations I think I can go 6 boxes high which leaves me approx 6" of cart height. The one advantage of vertical stacking is if I have a height issue I can just remove a box to reduce.
My initial thoughts were to make the cart 30 deep x 34.5 wide. This keeps the pins and boxes safe from cases, truck walls, etc.
If I was to limit these to 6 boxes max then the total speaker load would be 450 lbs
