Rigging WPL with WPLGRIDt

WPL cabinets conveniently truck fully enclosed in a custom designed transport cart, preconfigured in blocks of four, and are rigged straight
out of the transport cart to provide an extremely fast and streamlined process.
The cabinets travel in the transport cart at maximum curvature. The transport cart is manufactured around a welded aluminium frame with
timber inserts coated in textured paint. It has a shaped timber base with nylon skids to support the cabinets which are attached to the base
with rigging pins front and back. There are rubber pads on the underside of the top to hold the four cabinets securely when in transit. After
removing the top of the transport cart and the supporting poles, the WPL array is easily accessible for rigging. Rigging pins are inserted at
the holes required for the cabinet angles as predicted by your DISPLAY 2.3 project. The array is then lifted so that the angles open until
the rear rigging reaches the stops limited by the rigging pins at the preset angles. A second rigging pin is put in place on each cabinet to
lock the angles so the array can't collapse back down.
Once the array is flown out of the transport cart, the poles can be placed in the bottom section and the top latched on to the base keeping
it compact for storage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
The transport cart must not be moved side-on as there is a danger it could tip, particularly on loading ramps. The cart must only be moved
as shown below in fig. 23, NOT as in fig. 24.
