Line Array Tower for Demanding Event Lifting Needs
The Showgear MAT-500 Mammoth Stand is designed as a reliable lifting tower for lifting and supporting equipment in live event environments. Handling loads up to 500kg and reaching heights of 6.5m, this front-loading system brings secure lifting capability and stability to event professionals. Its focus on direct floor lifting means minimal manual hoisting, ideal for frequent setup and teardown scenarios.
Key Features and Benefits
Direct Floor Lifting
The ability to lift from ground level cuts out the awkwardness of manual lifting. Operators handle less manual weight, which reduces fatigue and lowers risk of accidents. Competing lifts often require some load elevation or awkward positioning - this model sidesteps that issue.
Capacity and Height
Supporting up to 500kg at a 6.5 metre maximum height, this line array lift easily manages substantial line arrays, truss spans, or LED screens. Theextended height lets technicians handle more complex or larger venue requirements, something crucial for versatile event production.
Stability-Focused Design
Key structure touches include a reinforced base with base widths reaching 2.5 metres in front. A circular bubble helps level the setup, eliminating guesswork. Together these attributes maximise safety, vastly reducing unwanted movement during use.
Rigorous Safety Measures
Automatic leg locks, safety pins, and a reliable 1150kg-rated winch ensure every lift remains secure from start to finish. This multiple-layered approach addresses a top concern for technicians: load security under pressure.
Simple Transport and Setup
At 184kg with four 100mm swivel castors, the tower balances sturdiness with on-site mobility. You won't waste time manoeuvring; the unit is built for regular transport in demanding event settings.
Applications
The Showgear MAT-500 is particularly suited for audio-visual professionals, rental companies, and stage crews. It reliably handles line array speaker systems, lighting trusses, and LED displays - commonly found in concert venues, theatres, arenas, and exhibition halls. Outdoor festivals benefit from the extra stability, while smaller venues take advantage of its ability to lift directly from the ground.
For frequent users - those regularly moving heavy production gear - it reduces setup time and fatigue. Technical teams operating in fast-paced environments gain peace of mind from its improved safety features, and organisers appreciate its straightforward operation, even in multi-use, high-pressure scenarios.
Summary
Combining practical innovation with robust construction, the Showgear MAT-500 line array tower is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern event production. Its front-loading lift system, multiple safety features, and adaptability provide a trusted solution for professionals aiming for precision and reliability in equipment handling. With no added accessories required on delivery and a solid materials blend of aluminium and metal, this lifting tower integrates seamlessly into existing event infrastructure.
