          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Available for J-Guide, A-Guide and T-Bar types. Wire guides can be used to guide the travel path of counterweight arbors in place of J/T-guides or lattice tracks at much reduced cost under certain conditions. We do not recommend using wire guides with over 30ft (90.14m) of travel because the guides allow the arbors to move and twist too much. High tension in the guide wires keeps the arbors from swaying but greatly increases the loads placed in the building structure. If there are a number of guide wires present, the loads can become high enough to cause structural failure in the system. Lightly tensioned guides reduce building stress but allow the arbors to sway. This is OK if the arbors are far enough away from other arbors or obstructions to eliminate the possibility of collisions that can cause damage or falling counterweights. Delete if not required for project.
