Author Topic: Strong Digital Pedestal Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-27-2011 09:19 AM                        We are having our digital system delivered in a few weeks and I would like to know the dimensions of the Strong Digital Pedestal, I believe the part number is 200027. Does it come assembled in a large box or knocked down? I am mainly concerned with width as we may have to remove a couple door frames to get it in the booth. I can call my tech or Strong if needed, but figured someone might be able to just measure their pedestal for me.

Some of the thickest cardboard on earth! The top tilting piece can be removed and the breaker panel can also be placed just about any one of 6 locations on the base you desire. I usually place the breaker panel on the front left side (standing at rear). The Eprad pedestal is a bit smaller dimension and I have had to cut holes in floors of booths to get pedestals up stairs. The Eprad is the smallest if you do have to cut a hole. The Strong pedestal gives the most bang for the buck. The Eprad pedestals are much more highly refined... definately the best pedestals in the buisness.

If you do not remove the top it will be about 6in taller and 4in longer the width will be the same. If you dont have any sharp turns to make they fit threw a standerd door no problem.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-27-2011 10:10 AM                     If this one doesn't fit look into the Eprad pedestals. Better all the way around and the smallest one is slightly smaller than the Strong pedestal! BTW" Cutting through 4" concrete is not a problem. I had many large ports installed this year in buildings that were pre-cast panels our poured in place concrete. One was 9" thick!! Think... diamnond tipped chain saw. When they hit ther rebar it's like the 4th of July all over again!  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-27-2011 10:24 AM                        We have 30" finished door openings so it sounds like it should fit, will probably have to take it up vertically though and some corners are tight. The door jambs could be removed to open them up to around 34" or so. I want to do as little damage to original structure as possible due to the historic and unique nature of our theatre. Thanks for the info guys.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The thing strips down VERY fast. the racks are covered with drop in panels (come out in about a second). The top is only secured on the hinge side so again, comes off easily. Once it is empty, it is lighter and relatively easy to carry. -Steve  |  IP: Logged
