PTI - Pier-Tech 3 electro-mechanical telescope pier (800-pound capacity)

Pier-Tech 3 is similar in construction as the Pier-Tech2 except it can withstand greater bending moments and it has a 800 pound
lifting capacity. It is designed for the observer who wishes to raise and lower the pier by a push of a button. Pier-Tech 3 is
also great for remote control observatories where the full operation of the observatory is done remotely. The pier can be wired to
the observatory's main controller for operation. To operate the Pier-Tech 3, just plug it into a standard 120V outlet and push the
up or down button on the supplied hand held pendant to raise or lower the pier.
