6.2 Flying with eyebolts
The Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10
eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has
200 Kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the slings or
chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind
that the length difference between the front and back slings or
chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, we
can provide vertical orientation by using the back bottom
eyebolt points on the units that feature them.
The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four
carabiners. Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of
200 kg. (440 lbs.). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a working load of
330 kg (726 lbs.). If using other hardware, make sure it is
rated to handle the required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the
rated working load is only true for a load applied in the plane
of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The
drawing illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation
of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case
of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load
becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the
load angle is higher than 45 degrees.

6.3 Flying with AncraTrack
The ANL-3 set is an optional set of one double-stud track
connector with lifting ring and one carabiner.
Each ANL-3 track connector has a rated working load of 225
kg. (500 lbs.). Each ANL-3 carabiner has a working load of 330
kg (726 lbs.). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to
handle the required load. Always ensure that the double-stud
connector is well connected to the track by shaking the piece
firmly.
When using track based rigging it is important to bear in mind
that the rated working load is only true for a load applied in the
plane of the eye, and changes for other angles. The drawing
illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation of the
working load as a function of the load angle (see illustration).
In the case of the ANL-3 track connector, this means that the
225 kg working load becomes 180 kg at 90 degrees.
When using the AncraTrack, the following vertical angles for a
single Compact-115 cabinet are obtained when connecting to
the different track positions. The position relates to the hole
number above which the ring is found. Position 1 is the
closest to the front of the enclosure. Note that positions 1 and
9 mean that only one connector stud attaches to the track, as
opposed to two for all angles in between. Negative angles
denote downward pitch. Positive angles denote upward pitch.
