In order for the AnchorSpan to meet the requirements of its engineering calculations and be certifiable
for windspeeds under the ASCE Code modified for temporary use, it must be constructed properly
with the specified minimum number of beams for the given span. It must be properly X-cabled, and
anchoring should be sufficient to withstand vertical and horizontal forces equal to, or greater than,
those shown above on each baseplate plus an appropriate safety factor. Stakes provided with the
unit may not be adequate for the above loads. When appropriate or required, it is the customer’s
responsibility to obtain and install anchoring that does meet the above loads for the soil compaction
and other conditions prevalent at the installation site. See the X-cabling charts on page 3 for proper
cabling.
When properly constructed, each 60’ or 70’ A beam can support 2 lbs per square foot (span times bay
width) of additional dead weight.
*** The 80’ A beam can support a maximum of (3) 333 pound loads distributed symmetrically across the width
of the span (or other approved configurations).
