4x 3.25t Shackle- used to attach the bottom of the chain motor to the motor attachment bracket

4x 2m Soft Steel- Used to safety the towers (results in a trim height of 5m)

4x 3.25t Shackle- Used to attach the soft steel to the outside of the sleeve block

4x 2t Shackle- Used to attach the soft steel to the sleeve block- a 2t shackle is used as the attachment point can only fit the pin of a 2t shackle and not a 3.25t shackle.

MPT Structure Assembly

1)Build tower spans (5m of truss & head section) and set aside

2)Build grid spans

3)Attach grid spans to sleeve blocks using hinges. Ensure pins are always facing into the truss and not sticking out!

4)Lift tower spans into place and to base section

5)Set up motors and run power/ control

6)Upright towers and pull chain up and over sheave

7)Level out bases and check grid is level

8)Raise grid

9)Check level

10)Secondary safety can then be attached. There are two methods for this. First is raising the truss structure up so that the Safety Pin can be slotted into the 1m Safety Section, then lowering the truss to that it lands on the pin.

Secondly, or if you wish to de-rig the motors, a sling or clutch chain can be added over the tower header to add a secondary.

How to attach a secondary safety sling

Storage

To keep the base, sleeve block, and header section tidy they can all be connected together using the 0.5m section of truss and the hinge sets. The short outriggers can also be stored in middle.

CPP3 Temporary Venue Project

The self climbing towers had their first outing on CPP3. As the BSL performance was taking place in the Chandler, CPP3 had to be moved to another venue. The decision was made to host the shows in RS2.
