Also, the height of the fork is adjustable between 75-90cm. The IMI Wing Wheel is universal! A deeper two-seater version for gliders like Duo Discus, Arcus, and DG500/1000 is available.

IMI One Man Rigging System (OMRS) - was successfully tested in 2008. Hundreds and hundreds of OMRSs have been delivered to customers worldwide for many different types of gliders. The OMRS is highly rated for its simple yet light design. it is easy to use and has small transport dimensions. IMI offers several different combinations of OMRS with six different wing holder sizes and three different body sizes to accommodate all different types of gliders, including some microlight and historical gliders.
IMI POWER-RIGGER was specially designed for heavy two-seaters and heavy open-class gliders since there was a significant demand from our customers for such a solution in our high quality of fabrication, which is already well known. We decided to make the device without compromises; the basic design was developed and engineered to be over-dimensioned for high loads of wings far over 100kg from the beginning.
IMI Wing Stand is designed as a solid, foldable, telescopic tripod with a tiltable top covered with smooth, adhesive rubber. The wing support takes up minimal space when the legs and top profile are folded.
IMI Workshop Fuselage Dolly consists of a steel frame with adjustable height and exchangeable GRP fuselage cradle upholstered with high-quality felt. The wing cradle is fitted with 2 anti-slide-adhesive rubber foam inserts at the sides. Pulling the fuselage onto the Fuselage dolly is simple due to this solution; the fuselage has good sideward stability against revolving due to the rubber foam inserts.

Everything of theirs is very well thought out. My only thing I'd do differently (maybe it's an option?) is the power rigger should probably be powered by a LifePO4 so it doesn't drain much when resting. Otherwise it's a great setup.
