CHAPTER 5: MTG-1100 PICKUP CONFIGURATIONS
The MTG-1100 top grid accommodates a variety of pickup configurations with its six pickup points, three each on the front
and rear of the grid. When possible, use the front and rear pickup points to change the tilt of the grid with the front and rear
motors. You can also bridle between pickup points for greater stability, as compared to single front and rear pickup points.
CAUTION: Always use properly rated rigging hardware. The MTG-1100 top grid requires 7/8-inch shackles for
its pickup points.
CAUTION: When using bridles between pickup points on the MTG-1100, the angle of the bridle at the apex
should not be greater than 90 degrees to avoid increasing the load on the bridles and damaging the grid.

TWO PICKUP POINTS

The MTG-1100 top grid supports the following configurations with two pickup points.
CAUTION: When suspending MTG-1100 arrays from one or two motors, make sure each motor and ceiling
pickup point (above the hook) are rated to hold the total weight of the grid and array.
CAUTION: The minimum leg length for front-to-rear bridle attachments (left) is 24 inches (610 mm).
