SixToo™ Mk II...

We think we’ve just made our SixToo™ even more of a heavyweight champion contender - we recently fabricated a Magic Freestanding Fatcat & whilst deliberating possible improvements with the Worm Hole Shelf used to fill the ballast chamber we think we’ve missed a trick with our SixToo™ unit.

The ballast chamber on SixToo™ was developed from our Bobcat unit & is filled through a hole in the base then sealed with a plug - it occurred to us that we could have a larger filling hole in the shelf in the lower Access Hole Compartment which could be covered with a removable Twist Pile Insert.

The improvements over the existing filling arrangement are that if you do get a rogue bag of kiln dried sand that has some light moisture in it there won’t be any problems with clumping as you can the scoop sand into the larger filling hole, instead of using a funnel, then cover the shelf with the Twist Pile insert saving lots of time & mess - also loading the ballast in an upright position is a huge benefit instead of having to wrestle with the +70kg unit & the icing on the cake is being able to easily add more ballast if required instead of having to invert, fill, right & then test the unit for stability.

We are going to implement the new ballast filling changes straight away noting that the last remaining AVM Wool SixToo™ Stock Item has the old ballast filling detail - we may also look at using this new ballast detail on our Bobcat units & are also testing various silicon bungs to put in the filling hole to keep things safe & finish things off neatly.
