Author Topic: Question about projector weight Mike Fitzgerald Expert Film Handler Posts: 224 From: Castle Hayne, NC, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 05-22-2003 10:15 PM                     Does anyone have any idea as to the total weight of aBauer U2 with the lamphouse on and the original base. I am guessing it to be over 600 pounds but I thought someone would have a better idea. I need to see about having the truck floor reenforced to hold the extra weight. Thanks for the help.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-22-2003 10:33 PM                     Double that at least, then add double that for a good safety factor.....assumming that you have the Bauer base with it.

Froeschle at www.kinobauer.de and he stated that the wieght of the U2 with Carbon Arc lamphouse is approx. 840 lbs. The weight with a Xenon lamphouse would be 775 lbs. I believe I will use 1000 for each projector and add an extra 1000 for safety measures. This way I will be sure the floor and springs will support the weight. I am also adding trailer jacks to the 4 corners to stabilize the truck when running the movie.  |  IP: Logged
