THE PURPOSE OF TRUSS
Aluminum trusses are a supporting structure widely used in the event and entertainment industries. Truss serves as the foundation of booths, sheds, ground supports, rigging frames, and roofing systems.
TYPES OF TRUSS
The simplest way to distinguish an aluminum trussing system is by the number of its main tubes.
Single Tube Truss
Typically ued as bracing, connecting, and supporting elements to larger trussing segments/structures or as basic rods for hanging smaller lights, speakers, and other equipment.
2-Tube Truss
Also called double or ladder truss, 2-tube truss is often applied in theaters as support for curtains, lights, and other equipment. 2-tube truss is also popular in tradeshows and exhibitions for lighter weight stand assemblies.
3-Tube Truss
Also known as triangle, tripod or triangle trussing, 3-tube truss carries a great variety of corners and is popular with designers and architects for its cool look, light weight, and decent loading abilities. The 3-tube truss is usually used for smaller frames, creating banners, projection screens and as decorative items in many locations.
4-Tube Truss
The most popular truss in the event industry, also called a box truss or square profile truss. It is the most rigid trussing system with a huge variety of applications- from small installs to heavy load bearing truss supports and roof systems.
