Author Topic: Weight of a Westrex Tower? Andy Patterson Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Soho, London, UK Registered: Jan 2012 posted 04-12-2012 06:34 AM                     Hi there, Does anyone know the weight of a Westrex tower? We're removing one of our two FP20s but the issue of too much weight for our floor has been raised, is a tower much heaver than an FP20? Thanks, Andy  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-12-2012 06:58 AM                     Not to the pound, however I wouldn't be worrying about it. FP20, lamphouse & rectifier I am pretty sure will weigh less than a 5035!  |  IP: Logged Andy Patterson Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Soho, London, UK Registered: Jan 2012 posted 04-12-2012 07:08 AM                     Sorry perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The FP20 is going and the tower is coming!  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-12-2012 11:22 AM                     Perfectly clear, you're removing one of a pair of FP20's and installing a Westrex tower. I wouldn't be concerned about the weight of the tower vs FP20. Let me put it this way, I can actually lift a Westrex tower. I can't move it far, but I can lift one bodily off the floor. I sure as hell can't do that with an FP20. Then factor in the rectifier...  |  IP: Logged
