meat rack

(With apologies to vegetarians and vegans...)

Rolling structure for storage and transport of lighting fixtures, usually on six lamp PAR-bars. The photo below shows a MeatRack capable of holding eight bars of six PAR64 fixtures each. Depending on the fixture, a MeatRack can hold up to twelve bars (of six S4-PARs).

Meatracks can also be used with moving lights, in cases where automated truss is undesirable. A "bungee net" diapers each unit, keeping them from flailing about in transport. Usually built in-house, there are a few manufactured by trussing companies, as well as http://www.ssrconline.com/fixture_cart.pdf.
