How much weight is it rated for?

MAX VERTICAL LOAD 350lbs.

Putting 150lbs on with 3 cabs. If I go with more I'll probably attach them to the trussing I have instead of to the stands so it is trully a vertical load.

The frame while not officially rated should be able to handle about 800 pounds. Not that I would put that much on it.

I think this is what Boomer was getting at; using unrated components in your rigging system.

Have a registered engineer look at your design, make a drawing and put his stamp on it.  Make sure the components are manufactured correctly, welds inspected with dye-penetrant or Magnaflux (as appropriate to material) and that materials used meet the engineer's spec.  The next step would be destructive testing of samples.  THEN you can say "XXXlbs."

Not trying to be a jerk, but *people* DO work, stand, and otherwise occupy the space below or would be in the debris path if they fell.  Chances are your liability insurance doesn't cover "products" you design or manufacture.  You would have all the liability.

Have fun, good luck, be safe.

That's dangerous.  You should allow a  5 to 1 ratio.  Your lift should be rated at least 800 lbs.

Mmm, I suspect 350lbs is maximum safe working load, not the structural failure point. A 1/2 ton chainmotor can safely and quite appropriately lift 1000lbs. A lift with a 350lb load capacity can lift a 350lb load.

That's the way they (GT) explained it to me before I got my ST-157s. 350 lbs. actual live load, safety already factored in.

I asked the question several ways (such as any load/height variation?) Answer was 350 lbs. dead center, straight down.

Maybe Mike P. can comment?

I'm sure that they are not rated for a cantilevered load.

The more we use our Versarray rig the more I like it. We just did a  4th of July event at the high school stadium, about 1500 +/-. The system sounded great, like audiophile quality on a large scale. Anyway, band said is sounded great, the local C of C had great comments on the sound (they sponsored the event), and even had comments that we sounded way better than the cities VRX system they pulled out of their performing arts theater and brought to the park...the Versarray has pristine sound quality out of the ribbons drivers, and I think we are finally getting the system tweaked and powered right (with all the drivers working). We had a 6 box per side hang and all 6 subs in front of the stage (not sure that was a good idea, lots of bass on the stage), but as far as coupling and output, it sounded awesome. I could rant more, but won't...

pics of our event are here..

I agree they sound great. Could not be happier.

I am not as impressed with the fit and finish of them. Went with the quick release pins and found a bunch of stripped bolts when I was removing them to put the pins in. Also have one that the paint looks like it just fell off of a 2inch area on the back of one top.
