VMB - TL-A400/8

The TL-A400/8 lifting tower is designed to lift Line Array speakers from the ground and keep them stationary at high altitude. It features two special aluminum straps attached from the legs to the aluminum base section to reinforce the lift.

This lifting tower is very compact and easy to handle, with four swivel wheels at the base. It passes through a door. Powerful leg stabilizers allow the lift to be leveled on difficult, slightly sloping terrain.

It has two adjustable steel forks that support the load, whether it's resting on top or hanging underneath.

VMB offers a wide range of accessories that, when combined with this lift, expand its range of applications. One of the most commonly used accessories, for example, is the FAS-01, which is used to quickly and effortlessly hang line array systems.

The TL-A400/8 is equipped with VMB ALS Red locks, which automatically lock each section during lifting, and the ILS inertial pendulum safety system for the aluminum lifting trolley. It also features the special SRS Retentor system, patented by VMB, which ensures the aluminum sections are lifted automatically and in an orderly fashion.

Finally, the TL-A400/8 integrates the LIP Cell (Load & Inclination Prediction) system developed by VMB, designed to assist the operator during setup and use of the lift. The device simultaneously monitors the tower's inclination and the level of load applied, displaying the information via dedicated LED indicators. The system helps verify the tower's proper leveling before lifting and displays the load percentage used in real time from 0 to 100% of the available capacity. If the maximum permitted load is exceeded, the OVERLOAD LED illuminates and an audible warning sounds. LIP Cell thus helps simplify installation and improves monitoring of operating conditions before and during use of the lift.

The black, baked-on epoxy powder coating offers great durability (the lift tower can be painted in any color upon request).

VMB offers a 2-year warranty and a 5-year stock of spare parts. The factory is located in Spain, where lift inspection and repair services are performed.
