When GUIL launched their first compact line array tower, the TMD-545 (for 500kg up to 6.40m high) in 2003, it was a PIONEER in the industry, its wide popularity based on its ground-breaking design; cutting down on storage space and set-up times. The TMD-570 follows the innovative trail blazed by the TMD-545, and our extensive market research of the requirements of the events industry, to meet the increasingly frequent demands of professionals for similarly compact and original towers capable of lifting bigger sound systems.

QUICK AND EASY SET-UP:  Familiar with the problems faced by technicians to install sound systems of these characteristics for outdoor events, GUIL have designed the TMD-570, which allows a single professional to raise the structure by means of an electric motor.

Its design allows the structure’s mast to be raised to the vertical position with no need to rely on four or five people.  With the TMD-570 tower, a professional needs only two minutes help from a colleague to start to raise the mast before completing the lifting process with the motor.

PRACTICAL & COMPACT FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:  With its inventive construction and high performance, its quick set-up and reduced stowed dimensions in just one piece of 3.68 m³, and its ease of transport and handling, the TMD-570 has the right to be regarded as one of the most practical structures on the market.  Just one technician can move the TMD-570 on its wheels, using the handlebar to steer it, from the lorry to the set-up location.

The TMD-570 tower is the perfect solution for events where a Line Array tower with a large lifting height and maximum load capacity is required and where storage space and transport are also an important factor.

The TMD-570 is supplied with a chain bag (Ref. BLC-01) to keep the chain of the electric motor.

DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS: The TMD-570 was specially conceived for outdoor use (though, naturally, it may also be used indoors), and is supplied with an interactive application, the “TMD-570 APC”, which helps the user to calculate the maximum permissible wind speed, according to the EU norm (EN 13814) for this purpose, taking into account the weight and height for the line array to be used on each occasion.

MAXIMUM SAFETY AND RELIABILITY: For GUIL, the first priority at all times is the safety of everybody using or near our products.  For this reason, we work only with the most up-to-date technological solutions and the highest-quality materials to fulfil the projects of our engineering department, and the TMD-570 is a clear example of this rule.  The certified strength and stability of this tower, conceived and built to hold 800 kg of line array at a height of 8 metres, are achieved by its intelligent design and reinforced construction, and guarantee the protection of both the line array itself and, of course, of the public attending the event.

The head block consists of two 1290mm-long aluminium beams and, in combination with the 5º inclination of the truss structure, assures the correct degree of inclination for the line array.  It can be detached from the tower to be stored in the base for transport, or also to be placed on the ground to assemble the tower and to install the chain of the motor.  The headblock is fitted with a large silentblock to protect it when setting up and taking down the tower.

UNIQUE DESIGN: The base of the TMD-570 is the result of revolutionary design and pioneering execution, with the dual purpose of forming the foundation of the line array tower when it is in use, and accommodating all the components of the tower in one block for transport and storage, thus avoiding loss of components.  The base (with dimensions of just 940×1865 mm) is fitted with custom-made nylon protectors to prevent damage from scratches or blows and to keep your TMD-570 in perfect condition, and also has a spirit level to help with the process of levelling the tower during assembly.

MOTOR MOUNTING: For the electric motor, GUIL have created a special mounting which fits under the base for transport and storage, but is pulled out to form an anchor point for the chain, which creates a brace to provide maximum strength and stability to the rigging tower, and greater support for the load.

LEGS AND STABILISERS:  The folding legs are installed on the base, and the side stabilisers are housed in the side members of the base, they are fitted with leveller screw jacks that have reinforced nylon injection moulded spin handles (ergonomic design) with double thread and speed which facilitates the levelling task. Their non-slip foot plates ensure a perfect adjustment of the tower to the floor surface.

The legs and side stabilisers provide further support for the lifter and guarantee the 360º support that is essential for a device that operates close to large numbers of people.

TRANSPORT:  The base is fitted with four 150mm-diameter wheels with brakes for easy transport, making the TMD-570 highly manoeuvrable, and the motor support includes a handlebar to steer it.  A single technician can move the base loaded with all the components of the TMD-570 wherever necessary.  Just one person moving a whole line array tower to lift 800kg to 8 metres height:  who can resist that?
