2008

VMB launch 2 new front loading lifts. The new TL-A240 and TL-A320 are different from the existing TL Series though: They are specifically designed to lift and fly Line Array.

 

These lifts, the result of a long and careful engineering process to bring to the market the first lifts ever, specifically designed for hanging Line Array. Their elaborate design and features enable a Line Array to be situated at 0.5mfrom the lift ensuring the perfect curve for coverage.

 

They incorporate the patented ALS security system, the first 'red' system to be designed in the world, back in 1997. The ALS has been a benchmark in safety and has guaranteed that the load being lifted will not fall. It takes all the pressure away from the cable and ensures that when the lift is raised it stays fixed and will not fall because of the blocking feature provided by the ALS. When the desired height is reached, the winch handle is turned anti-clockwise, the cable becomes loose and the load remains fixed.

 

The TL-A320 goes on to be a standard for P.A lifting, flying Line Arrays all across the globe.

 

The first lifts specifically designed for Line Array.
