Description
FLY BAR - 0002 (KVV 987 191):
The PICKPOINT Hanging Arm is a tubular steel bar that has a line of prexed apertures in a steel plate
along its top edge to allow attachment to hoists, truss and beams.
At each end of the bar is a double steel return at 90 degrees, forming a ‘slot’ and has a single aperture
to receive both the MAIN FRAME and a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN on each side.
This forms the immediate basis of the complete hanging system and to which all corresponding parts
are connected.
The MAIN FRAME is a steel frame consisting of two at sides with prexed apertures along its top
ES Flybar
edge and has two slots on the front end/edge to allow the connection of the
STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS. The at sides are joined and strengthened by two steel square tubes.
The MAIN FRAME is connected to the PICKPOINT Hanging Arm by using a single D12.6 QUICK RELE-
ASE PIN on each side.
The STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS are pre lengthened steel bars that have multiple apertures that
align with the xing points within the ES enclosures.
These arms are connected to the front edge of the MAIN FRAME sliding into the slot at the front edge
and receiving a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN through the aperture of the arm and the MAIN
FRAME each side.
The STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS receive the ES enclosures and are attached according to the
conguration used via D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS.
FB - 0002 ARMS (KVV 987 192):
The FB-0002 STEEL SUPPORT EXTENSION ARM is an optional extension arm that is similar to the
STEEL SUPPORT MOUNT ARMS, but is longer in length and uses the same method of attachment via
D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS. This is required when suspending multiple enclosures and congurations.
ES DOWNFILL BRACKET (KVV 987 301):
The DOWNFILL BRACKET is a specic steel arm to enable the addition of a single ES1.0 mid hi enclosure to the hang as a down ll module.
The arm is a at steel -pre lengthened and angled extension, with two apertures to allow connection
to the last STEEL SUPPORT EXTENSION ARM by using two D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS on each side.
The ES1.0 down ll enclosure is then attached to the lower pre angled end of the DOWNFILL-
BRACKET which has a total of ve variant angle options to utilize by using two D6 QUICK RELEASE-

PINS on each side.
