WPMGRIDi Install Flying Frame

The Install Flying Frame provides a cost effective rigging solution and simplicity of operation for permanently flown installations.
It is designed to meet BGVC1 and DIN18800 standards, and will lift a maximum of 16 WPM cabinets using either two lift points

or a single lift point, in which case the lift point position is determined by the Martin Audio DISPLAY software.
