Frame Tents: Jumbotrac®
The Jumbotrac® Frame Tent is an engineered kedered frame tent system that provides exceptional performance in both short-term and seasonal applications. The design features fabric top and walls that slide through channels in the extruded aluminum frame, allowing for easier installations and significant reduction in wear to the fabric during installations. Both the roof and wall fabric slide into channels within the aluminum frame system. Hip, Gable, and Hex end configurations are available to customize the system for the perfect fit to any site. Our proprietary valance tensioning system and mid-span tensioning system keep the fabric uniformly tensioned and free of wrinkles without added complexity.

The roof slopes in two directions and the ends are vertical
Hex End Design:
Create a frame that feels like it has rounded ends. Perfect for sites that might have unavoidable obstacles in the corner
Band Shell Design:
Perfect for stage covers and entrances. Available only in 20', 30', and 40' spans with reduced wind engineering
TWO OPTIONS TO
CHOOSE FROM:
Tilt-Up Design:
Offered only with gable end configurations, the Jumbotrac Tilt-Up installs more like a clearspan structure where the beams are assembled on the ground, baseplates anchored, then the beams are tilted up into position. The baseplates and eave fittings of the Tilt-Up are different from the Jack-Up design and all eave pipe have been converted to purlins with end brackets.
Standard Jack-Up Design:
Requires the use of tent jacks to raise the frame one side at a time. This follows the more traditional installation method by conventional frame tents where the tent is jacked into the air and the legs are installed to the pre-built upper frame. Tops can be installed on the ground or in the air.
FAQs
While the Jumbotrac® is available in standard widths of 20', 25', 30', 40' and 50', its most optimal widths are 40' and 50' by most accounts. The product is also very popular in 30' widths, but that width generally starts the crossover where the Jumbotrac® Lite tends to be more optimal. In general most users prefer the Jumbotrac® Lite for 10x, 15x, 20x, and 30x and Jumbotrac® for 40x, and 50x. For those that don't run a smaller profile keder frame tent it is very common to opt to 30x, 40x and 50x in Jumbotrac®.
The answer is largely dependent on the tent size. Note that the installation of this product and manpower estimates are assumed be be using professional tent installers that have significant work experience in the trade. If you want to install the product yourself or with a team of unexperienced laborers you should expect times to double or triple. Minimal crew size would be three team members. The below estimates assume a typical installation for the tent and sidewalls only.
| Tent Size | Crew = 3 | Crew = 4 | Crew = 5 | Crew = 6 | Crew =7 | Crew = 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20x40 | 4.00 | 3.00 | 2.40 | 2.00 | 1.71 | 1.50 |
| 30x60 | 7.33 | 5.50 | 4.40 | 3.67 | 3.14 | 2.75 |
| 40x80 | 12.00 | 9.00 | 7.20 | 3.00 | 5.14 | 4.50 |
| 50x100 | 18.00 | 13.50 | 10.80 | 9.00 | 7.71 | 6.75 |
Frame Tents
Frame Tents feature a skeleton of aluminum framework and steel connectors to support the tent top. Although this style of tent is "free-standing" by design, it still must be anchored to resist wind forces. All styles of frame tents have no poles that come to the ground in the interior space of the tent.

Pole Tents
Pole tents rely on tension in the membrane to hold the shape of the tent system. These tents are supported by single or multiple centerpoles in the middle of the tent area and a series of sidepoles around the perimeter of the tent area. The tent is tensioned toward the anchoring locations commonly with a rope or ratchet strap.
