    You're probably correct! Here's a few recent photos.

    Motor load limits and other rigging...

    Thanks for the reply. The D-Rings were designed and engineered by StructureFlex who designed and engineered the roof structure. I have drawings, blueprints etc that verify their capacity etc.They somewhat weird me out, but mainly because I come from more traditional non-install style of...

    Motor load limits and other rigging...

    I've struggled for a few years now to come up with a clean and useful solution to getting the weight off. I have a spare 1-ton motor meant to be used as a cable pick but lack a easy way to hang it. I'll post some pictures and see if anyone has some ideas to offer.

    Motor load limits and other rigging...

    Thanks for the responses. I do have load cells on all four points and never have exceeded the limits of the points/motors. I know how much weight the roof structure can support and I'm thousands and thousands of pounds below that.I guess my original question is more about what other people are...

    Motor load limits and other rigging...

    Searched and couldn't find what I was looking for.Quick background info: My Venue has a main grid that's flown from the high steel.

    Cable Track instead of cable pick motor

    Not a great example because we are currently setup for NCAA's but this will give you an idea. Typically, we have a DS and US truss hung from the main rig. They usually live about 5 feet below the main rig for our shows.

    Cable Track instead of cable pick motor

    Thank you for the response. Would only have two cables going thru the track, 1 DMX and 1 Soca. These cables would only be changed once a year when we prepare for the colder months and revert to a basic par rig. The stuff I'm looking at is the IGUS E-Chain series. It's about $800 for 40ft.

    Cable Track instead of cable pick motor

    Hey all,I've done a ton of reading on here but have never posted. I can't find the answer I'm looking for, so here goes!I have a very interesting setup here at my venue that makes using a motor for a cable pick very challenging. I have to worry about aesthetics just as much as function...
