Product NEWS Ballast Frame
EASY BALLAST SOLUTION FROM PROLYTE
ST-005 / MPT-005 SPECIFICATIONS
The ballast frames (ST-005, MPT-005) are designed to offer a safe, engineered and easy solution for your ballast requirements. These aluminium frames are simply mounted between the long outriggers of your ST- or MPT base section. Layher screw spindles are placed at the outside for optimum levelling each ballast frame. The system doesn’t require any tooling. Standard, palletsized water tanks fit on the resulting platforms to create your ballast weight.

Additional items required:
2 x ACC-SPIN-LAY/60-60 SREWJACK per frame are needed.
How to use the Ballast Frame The ballast frames should be used only in conjunction with long outriggers and stabilizer braces. All ballast frames and ballast should be positioned symmetrically. For any other needed set-ups, please contact our engineering department. The amount of ballast required for a structure is dependent on the outcome of structural analysis. Due to deflection of components not all applied ballast can be activated. The outsides will stay grounded, while the area around the tower will have the tendency to tip or be lifted (see drawing example).
FORCE
BALLAST
BALLAST
For the MPT tower, ballast can be applied to counterbalance a 24kN uplift force. While for the ST tower, ballast can be applied to counterbalance a maximum 32kN uplift force. To stabilise larger loadings, please contact our engineering department. USPs: • Stores flat • Lightweight due to aluminium construction • Safe handling due to use of profiles with rounded edges • No tooling required • Dedicated design for MPT or ST tower • EC9 calculation available
