Warnings  

WARNING:

 Suspending anything, especially overhead of people, should be done with extreme caution. 

Always engage the services of a certified professional who is qualified to determine the requirements 
for and to implement overhead rigging. Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe 
rigging techniques should attempt to suspend ADAPTive module columns overhead. Failure to follow 
these precautions may result in damage, injury, or death. 

DANGER: 

When suspending or stacking ADAPTive modules, avoid placing any parts of the body 

between the enclosures or between an enclosure and the Flybar. Always use the integral handles to lift 
or position enclosures. Failure to follow this precaution may result in damage, injury, or death. 

CAUTION:

 The physical size of each ADAPTive product means that more than one person will be 

required to lift and carry it. However, always use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury. Use good 
judgment to determine if you need lifting assistance such as another person, a back support belt, or 
mechanical assistance. 

IMPORTANT RIGGING WARNING:

 Each captive Rigging Pin is used to attach modules together within 

an internal rigging substructure integral to the enclosures. There is no option to splay each module and 
the modules are only designed to be flown in a straight vertical orientation. Use the correct holes on 
the Flybar as determined by EAW Resolution 2, based on rigging conditions and weight restrictions. 

Ground Stacking  

ADAPTive columns may be ground-stacked. Normally, a ground-stacked main column is used where 
suspension is not possible, too difficult, or too time-consuming. The ADAPTive Caster Pallets may be 
used to stack up to four modules. Ensure that the casters are chocked and that the ground or stage is 
plumb and level. 

WARNING:

 Ground-stacked columns, especially the maximum recommended columns requires 

assembly by personnel qualified to ensure adequate stability from tip over for the particular 
application. 

Flying 

Suspension Load Rating – Working Load Limits (WLL) . 

CAUTION:

 Different combinations of modules and Flybar mounting locations allow for a variety of 

hanging positions which creates unique loading of stresses on structural members in any given column. 
Always consult Resolution for specific WLL information for any given column configuration. 

WARNING:

 It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the attachment to the Flybar, the rigging 

method, and attachment to structure are inspected by a certified professional who is qualified to 
determine the requirements for and implement overhead rigging.
