More than one SkyORB system may be secured with the same truck as long as the axle/tandem axle and wheel requirements are met by
the truck for each SkyORB system.
Counterweights may be used in place of a truck if needed or preferred.
The counterweights must have a minimum weight of 5,000 lbs. (2268kg).
The counterweights must be placed on the opposite side of the work area and must be evenly distributed over an area of 30" x 40"
(762mm x 1016mm). Counterweights longer than 40" (1016mm), which extend beyond the system base by up to 12" (305mm), must
be supported.
Counterweights must be stable and solidly attached to the base by straps or otherwise.

*Work can be performed at 360 degrees while using counterweights (without a truck), but only in the case that 5,000 lbs. (2268kg) is applied
opposite of BOTH work zones. In other words, counterweight of 5,000 lbs. (2268kg) must also be applied in the wheel well area. In this
case, the outer ramps and bolts may be excluded, and the counterweights must all be rigidly attached to the system.
