Changing Steelwork with Equipment Attached

Step A: Click on the Structure Type dropdown and select your structure type

This option is only available for single-mast structures (i.e. single track cantilevers, two track cantilevers, twin/triple cantilevers, self supporting anchors, and attachment points). For portals this option will be greyed out.

Step B: Review any changes made by the configurator

Changing structure types will typically affect your steelwork options and may change your selected mast and/or gantry, along with any attached brackets, SPS, and ornaments, to suit your selection. Backties will remain unaffected. 

The item(s) you had attached originally remain displayed above their respective dropdown for reference.

Learn more about how the configurator works here.

Please note: You may need to adjust your mast length, gantry height, and gantry length upon changing structure types. To do this, click 'Confirm' in the configurator window, and make the required adjustments in the 'Edit Structure' window.

Step A: Click on the appropriate tab of the mast or gantry you want to change

Step B: Click on the Mast or Gantry dropdown and make your selection

Changing a mast may also change your selected gantry, and vice-versa, to ensure your steelwork is compatible.

Step C: Review any changes made by the configurator

Changing steelwork may change your attached brackets, SPS, and ornaments to suit your selection. Any attached backties will remain the same. The item(s) you had attached originally remain displayed above their respective dropdown for reference.
