Front loaders and arbor traps

[BillConnerFASTC]

It's been a while.

Anyone here worked on stages with rod arbors and ones with front loaders and have an opinion based on that use, and not the marketing? Assume competently designed stages and not ones without loading bridges or bridges at the wrong elevation.

And anyone run sets more than a single trial/demo with arbor traps?

Just wondering what user opinion is - and not inventor/manufacturer solicited testimonials.

Thanks.

Old school tag (we are not dealers of the product). Curious about the general opinion

Never worked long-term with front loaders. My opinion is they are noisier. I'm old school though.

Noiser in running, or just while loading?

Arbor trap? Something new?
Is that just another name for a front loader, like Thern’s?

Easier to watch than describe.

We converted to front-loading arbours a few years ago. I have heard no negatives from any of the crew who load and unload them. The only small annoyance is that some of our weights get slightly jammed from time to time. They are much easier and therefore safer to use than the old arbours.
