Where is this T bar and yoke you speak of? I couldn't find it on Applied website.

Bottom of p.40 of their catalogue.
Cheers,

Applied makes a "T" bar with a hanging yoke on it for their L16 lifts. you can hang a speaker on each side and aim them appropriately. The bar is rated for the same weight as the lift, so 500#. You can only hang two speakers from each lift (unless you are hanging speakers under one another), so it has its limitations, but I find that it works really well and couldn't be easier to deploy. Because the "T" only lowers to about 6' off the ground, I stand each speaker on an "On-Stage" WS540s stand (one on each side to maintain balance) to hook it to the hanging bar,  so I don't have to hold it there while I'm trying to connect the  shackles, thus making it a one man job.

Do you have some pictures of this set up you could share with us? Would like to see how it looks if ya don't mind.

Thanks. I finally found that. Pics of real world set up would be nice to see.

I wish somebody made a similar crank up lift and T bar/yoke assembly that lowered all the way down to speaker height so you don't have to lift them up just to hang from the T bar.

Why so much space between the speakers?  What if you needed to tight pack them or add a down angle?

Who is using what and why?

I use scaffold:

1.  Cheaper.

2.  More stable in most applications.  Easier to level.

3.  No tripping hazard from legs/outriggers.

4.  Easy to tarp the speakers for weather changes.

5.  I can't use crank-up lifts when I need to repair the gutters on the house or do any painting.  I can also use the scaffold with the wheels for working on installations.

Years ago I did a gig in a small arena where I used U215s for mains and U15s for outfill to hit the side seating. This is the rigging I used. Note that except for the pullback straps the rigging is all steel. The T-Bar is the standard Applied truss adapter with adjustable width expanders made from heavy steel box tubing added.

Mike did you make (or have made) that lift?

Dick do you happen to have any photos of your set up at an event?

Sorry, no.  I'm too busy working to take photos.  I take a camera with me, but always forget it in the van.
