3 ft

At iStudio Projects, our iSP Side-Loading Rod Arbor 3 ft is a compact counterweight arbor engineered for smaller counterweight fly systems or venues with limited travel height. Its side-loading rod design simplifies counterweight brick addition and removal at the loading rail, while spreader plates at every 2 ft of rod height maintain structural integrity and rod alignment throughout the full travel range.
