@avkid, How would the master carrier then attach to the scenery, or does it not attach to the scenery at all?

Hey All,I have included a picture of what I believe to be the H&H 400 series Scenery Carrier (Or it could be the ADC 1751 Basic Scenery Carrier. It fits both tracks, but the 170 drags across the side wall, were as the 400 seems just a little to tight to the center ridges of the track). How...

The weight is compromised of 1x2 14 GA steel, Luan, and a layer of 1/4" cardboard for texturing. The wall has to be composed of 4× whatever sized flats since we only have a box truck to move the scenery around. The weight breaks down to 1200, 400, and 600 lbs respectively for each of the...

The de/acceleration is not the smoothest on the system, so there will definitely be shocks as it moves. The system is only rated for 1200# and in an attempt to keep some sort of safety factor ( the aim was 1:5), the shock loads will be greater than what the system as a whole can hold. The sheer...

Alright y'all, ready for some math time, because I found what I needed and I'm eager to be proven wrong so that I can learn and change my plan as needed.The goal is to figure out what the static equilibrium of the wall at the 30 degree angle is. I need to find the moment around the pivot (x...

The flat construction is 1x2 14 ga steel for this particular attempt at engineering this effect. The wall is 38 ft wide, covered in Luan and a layer of cardboard. Most of the weight is the the steel at 1050# and cardboard at 600#. This is not a construction process that is solidified or even...

The thought I had was to saddle the batten off on both sides to the pin rail that exists on both sides of the stage, using said pins to ensure the rope/ratchets/GAC doesn't slide after its placed into tension. Another line set upstage would be the control batten for the movement.

Hey all,I'm working on a production that wants a wall to slowly move from upright to 30 degrees so that it leans down stage. I'm approaching this by using high strength hinges that attach to a ledger board that is then lagged into our deck. We have an automated line set and my thought is to...
