About the Turbosound MV212-VT Vertical Transporter for 4 MANCHESTER MV212 Line Array Elements
The Turbosound MV212-VT is a specialized vertical transportation and dolly system engineered specifically for the efficient and safe transport of four Manchester MV212 line array elements as a single, wheeled unit. It is a crucial accessory for touring sound companies and large-scale production houses, addressing the logistical challenge of moving heavy, bulky line array cabinets between trucks, storage, and the stage area. The transporter is constructed from high-strength, welded steel tubing with a durable powder-coated finish, designed to bear the substantial combined weight of four MV212 enclosures. Its primary function is to convert a stack of four array elements into a stable, maneuverable rolling load, dramatically reducing the labor, time, and risk of injury associated with handling these large loudspeakers individually.
The design centers on a robust, vertical frame that securely cradles the stack of four cabinets. The system utilizes the integrated rigging hardware of the MV212 cabinets themselves, locking them into the transporter frame to prevent any shifting or separation during movement. Large, heavy-duty pneumatic wheels with locking casters are mounted to a sturdy axle at the base, allowing the entire loaded assembly to be easily tilted back and rolled by a single operator across various surfaces, including uneven ground, ramps, and stage floors. An integrated, ergonomic handle provides firm control over the tilted load, while a secondary fixed handle at the rear offers stability when the unit is in an upright, stationary position.
For production crews, the MV212-VT Vertical Transporter is an indispensable tool that enhances workflow efficiency and prioritizes crew safety. By enabling the movement of four array elements in one trip, it minimizes the number of lifts and transfers required during setup and strike, directly contributing to a faster and more organized deployment of large-scale line array systems. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the demanding environment of professional touring, making it a smart investment for any organization regularly deploying the Turbosound Manchester series for major events, concerts, and festivals.
