12″ Tower Truss
Professional Installations and Their Benefits
The Total Fabrications 12” Tower was one of the earliest ground support systems to come to market, with is roots in the original plates 12” truss system.
Using ground supports is remarkably straightforward, designed for efficiency and minimal hassle. The process is streamlined with the help of hinge elements, allowing towers to be erected with precision and ease.
Top Advantages:
- Simplified Setup: Most of the technical equipment can be assembled at ground level. This not only simplifies the installation but also enhances safety and accessibility.
- Flexible Height Adjustments: Once set up, these systems can be elevated to the desired height using a chain hoist or similar. This flexibility ensures that the installation meets specific project requirements effortlessly.
- Time-Saving: The ease of setup significantly reduces the time typically spent on erecting these structures, which can enhance overall project timelines.
These features collectively offer a more professional system making it a preferred choice for seamless installation operations.

Components of a Truss Tower System
A self-climbing tower truss system is comprised of several key components that ensure both functionality and safety. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
- Mast: This is the primary structural element, providing the framework for the tower, in this case 12” Plated Truss.
- Hinge Elements: These components are essential for tower erection, allowing the structure to be raised and lowered safely.
- Aluminium Base with Adjustable Feet: This base ensures a secure and stable foundation, preventing unwanted movement. The TFL 12 Tower systems use a lightweight aluminium base with optional outriggers and stabilisers,
- Sleeve Block: Facilitates the connection of the grid aluminium truss to the tower system and allows for free movement vertically during the lift operation.
- Head Block with Pulleys: Essential for the operational mechanics of the tower, enabling smooth movement and functionality.

Applications
Whether it’s setting up for a bustling marketplace event, a dynamic festival, or a cutting-edge industrial project, the adaptable nature of this tower system allows for seamless integration into any setting. The TFL 12 Truss, with its robust construction and versatile design, ensures that it can be quickly erected and accurately positioned, making it ideal for scenarios where time and precision are crucial.
The design of the tower system facilitates the installation of all technical equipment at ground level. This equipment is then lifted to the desired height using either a motor or a hand hoist, streamlining operations and significantly reducing the risks associated with working at height. This feature not only enhances safety but also improves efficiency, allowing for faster setup times and smoother operational workflows.
Moreover, the increased material thickness of the tower enhances its ability to transfer high loads into the main structure, ensuring stability and durability under varying conditions. Dedicated stabilising wire connections and the inclusion of levelling jacks further contribute to the system’s robust performance, providing additional support and ensuring that the tower remains securely in place once erected.
The comprehensive design of the tower system not only meets but exceeds modern safety standards, making it a reliable choice for any large-scale or intricate setup. Its ability to adapt to different environments and its focus on safety and efficiency make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from entertainment and media events to industrial and construction projects.
In conclusion, the TFL 12 Truss and Tower system stands out as a highly versatile, safe, and efficient solution for various applications. Its innovative design and robust construction provide users with the confidence and reliability needed to tackle complex setups and demanding environments with ease.
