Hi Thom,I am using the Tolco 78 and its listing allows this application. Do you think this application gets around the NFPA '99, 6-2.1.3 attachment to the vertical part of the decking? A pull test was done and it made it to 300 lbs I think the issue preventing me from using this is the limitation by the SEOR to 50 lbs max on any attachment to the decking. The 250 lb factor is the killer here.
