CAPACITIES
The arbors are sealed, meaning there is no need to handle or adjust counterweight. During installation and commissioning, the batten is balanced with counterweight. Then, 50% of the total set capacity is added to the arbor. The motor compensates for the difference using a fully captured drive chain and numerous industry-leading safety features. All listed capacities represent maximum scenic loads.
