Additional options

ES Flyware · Description

Description
FLY BAR – 0002 (KVV 987 191):
The PICKPOINT Hanging Arm is a tubular steel bar that has a line of prefixed apertures in a steel plate along its top edge to allow attachment to hoists, truss and beams.
At each end of the bar is a double steel return at 90 degrees, forming a ‘slot’ and has a single aperture to receive both the MAIN FRAME and a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN on each side.
This forms the immediate basis of the complete hanging system and to which all corresponding parts are connected.
The MAIN FRAME is a steel frame consisting of two flat sides with prefixed apertures along its top edge and has two slots on the front end/edge to allow the connection of the STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS. The flat sides are joined and strengthened by two steel square tubes.
The MAIN FRAME is connected to the PICKPOINT Hanging Arm by using a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN on each side.
The STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS are pre lengthened steel bars that have multiple apertures that align with the fixing points within the ES enclosures.
These arms are connected to the front edge of the MAIN FRAME sliding into the slot at the front edge and receiving a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN through the aperture of the arm and the MAIN FRAME each side.
The STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS receive the ES enclosures and are attached according to the configuration used via D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS.

FB – 0002 ARMS (KVV 987 192):
The FB-0002 STEEL SUPPORT EXTENSION ARM is an optional extension arm that is similar to the STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS, but is longer in length and uses the same method of attachment via D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS. This is required when suspending multiple enclosures and configurations.

ES DOWNFILL BRACKET (KVV 987 311):
The DOWNFILL BRACKET is a specific steel arm to enable the addition of a single ES1.0 mid hi enclosure to the hang as a down fill module.
The arm is a flat steel -pre lengthened and angled extension, with two apertures to allow connection to the last STEEL SUPPORT EXTENSION ARM by using two D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS on each side.
The ES1.0 down fill enclosure is then attached to the lower pre angled end of the DOWNFILLBRACKET which has a total of five variant angle options to utilize by using two D6 QUICK RELEASEPINS on each side.
PLEASE REFER TO THE CONFIGURATIONS PAGES TO ASSURE THE CORRECT STEEL BAR AND PINS ARE USED
