The working load limit of the rigging frame is 3,000 kg. It is important to note that each (GTO) element for which this rigging structure has been designed weighs approximately 96 kg., to which 6 kg. have been added, as a precautionary measure, to take into consideration additional loads, mainly due to connecting cables.
USER’S MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE, CONTROL & INSTALLATION OF THE “OUTLINE GTO ARRAY” – Translation of the original instructions In particular, the ID plate features the symbol, the manufacturer, the serial number of the frame, it’s year of manufacture, the working load limit (3,000 kg) and the weight of the unit itself, including all the accessories (shackles, pins and brackets), which is 98 kg.
3 DESCRIPTION OF THE “GTO” ELEMENT (LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURE) Every “GTO” loudspeaker enclosure has integrated hardware that enables it to be connected to the frame (only on the top) and other “GTO” element, forming an array of a maximum of twenty-four elements. Page 7/31...
96 kg. (including the mechanism, connector brackets and locking pins). A plate with the basic information for using the GTO system (Figure 7) is also glued on the rear panel. Figure 7 – Label with the instructions for use.
The maximum number of “GTO” elements that can be used in an array is twenty-four. The instructions to follow for correct use if the “GTO” elements are the same as shown in paragraph 2.3 (page 6) regarding the rigging frame of the entire structure.
USER’S MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE, CONTROL & INSTALLATION OF THE “OUTLINE GTO ARRAY” – Translation of the original instructions o making abrupt changes of direction; o carrying out structural modifications to the enclosure and its accessories; o carrying out welding or repairs and/or connecting other accessories to the elements of the structure o subjecting the structure to corrosive vapours and/or liquids;...
Figure 8 – Group of three enclosures, stacked for handling and storage The frame, according to needs, can be transported separately (in a flight-case) or left connected to the first enclosure of a “batch” of three GTO (the trolley has the necessary dimensions to support the weight of this configuration).
USER’S MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE, CONTROL & INSTALLATION OF THE “OUTLINE GTO ARRAY” – Translation of the original instructions 5.2 Assembly and positioning of the frame The frame can be used in two different configurations, according to the position of the entire system’s centre of gravity.

On the GTO enclosures, they are retracted on the sides of the enclosure. 6.2 Protection cover It is possible to request the “GTO PC-3” accessory to protect the batch of three GTO elements on the trolley. The pins connecting the enclosures are therefore protected and it is possible to leave them inserted during handling and transport.
