Introducing the ProX XTH-VAPATO-STANDARD VAPATO PA Tower Ground Support System , the professional solution for audio engineers and production companies who need a reliable, compact, and fast-deploying PA tower system that delivers serious load capacity without the complexity of traditional ground support rigs. Whether you are running a corporate event, an outdoor concert, a house of worship installation, or a touring production, getting your PA system up safely and at the right height is one of the most critical parts of your setup. The XTH-VAPATO-STANDARD answers that challenge with a purpose-built tower system engineered to handle up to 882 lbs of load capacity, reaching a working height of 16.1 ft with the included Standard truss set, all in a system that goes up fast and comes down just as quickly. What's Included The ProX XTH-VAPATO-STANDARD ships as a complete set with everything you need to get your tower in the air. The package includes one Head Section, one Towerlifter, one Winch Section, and one Base, along with the Standard truss set that brings the system to its 16.1 ft working height configuration. Head Section The Head Section sits at the top of the tower and serves as the primary mounting point for your PA system. It is designed to work with the VAPATO system's load bearing architecture, keeping your speakers securely positioned at height while maintaining the structural integrity of the full assembly. Towerlifter The Towerlifter is the mechanical heart of the system. It handles the vertical travel of the tower structure, allowing the system to rise and lower in a controlled, manageable way. This is where the VAPATO system's reputation for clean, efficient deployment comes from. Winch Section The Winch Section gives the operator precise control over the lift. Rather than relying on manual guesswork or hydraulics, the winch mechanism lets you raise and position the tower at the correct working height with accuracy and consistency. Base The Base provides the foundation of the entire system. It is engineered to distribute the load of the tower and its payload across the floor area, keeping everything stable throughout the event. System Footprint The base floor area measures approximately 52 in x 65 in, expanding to approximately 55 in x 69 in when clip-on stabilizers are attached. This gives the system a wide, stable stance that supports safe operation at full working height. Load Capacity The VAPATO PA tower system is rated to support a maximum load of 882 lbs , making it a serious contender for professional line arrays and larger format PA systems that demand both height and structural confidence. Working Height With the included Standard truss set, the system reaches a working height of 16.1 ft . For productions requiring additional height, the optional HD truss set brings the system to approximately 21 ft and is available separately. Ballasting Requirements For indoor use, a maximum of approximately 176 lbs of ballast is required. Outdoor deployments call for a maximum of approximately 606 lbs of ballast to maintain stability. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for ballasting based on your specific setup and environmental conditions. Wind Stability The system is rated for stability in wind conditions up to approximately 33 mph when the maximum wind attack area does not exceed approximately 16 sq ft. This makes it a viable option for outdoor events operating within those environmental parameters. Engineered by HOF Germany. Distributed in North America by ProX Live Performance Gear.
