Re: Line Array Carts
My understanding is that, no. The ratings for the rigging hardware when hanging vs ground stacking can and often are different.... and not just because of the "oh shit, it's gonna tip over!" factor.
Not knowing how they transport now..... I, personally, would not design and implement a transport method that put any stress on the rigging hardware unless it was manufacturer approved (good luck with that!). If the rigging hardware, for whatever reason, failed I would think that any insurance lawyer worth their salt would immediately point to the unapproved method in which the rigging hardware was handled. I think by designing your own vertical transport cages you may be opening yourself up to some amount of liability in the event of an equipment failure.
I may be being too cautious, but the safety of the people whose heads the equipment is flying over is more important than my convenience.....
If I am way off base, please correct me!
