Heavy Duty Truss

Heavy Duty Truss

Heavy Duty Plated Truss is ideally suited to applications where heavier than normal loading is required but still needing an efficient truck pack solution. It is a popular solution for supporting general lighting with spans up to 24 metres.

The Heavy Duty Truss is 760mm high x 520mm wide and is available in both metric and imperial lengths. The standard size is ideal for most general applications, providing a larger sturdy framework that is easy to transport and install. It is particularly well-suited for medium venues or setups where larger loads are required.

Versatile

This Heavy Duty Truss is versatile enough to be used in a range of environments, from small-scale events and exhibitions to more significant installations in theatres or concert halls. Their modular nature allows for easy customization and scalability, meeting the specific needs of each project while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Heavy Duty Trussing System

The TFL range of plated aluminium trussing emerged in the 1990s as a solution to the challenges posed by internal sleeve joints that could easily be damaged. Instead of relying on these problematic sleeves, TFL introduced a bolted connection method. This innovative approach simplifies the assembly process by requiring only basic tools for a swift and secure setup.

Key Benefits of the Gusset Plate System

  • Minimized Snag Risks: One standout feature of this system is its ability to avoid external protrusions like bolt or pin heads. This not only enhances safety by reducing snag risks but also helps in keeping replacement and maintenance costs down.
  • Strength and Aesthetics: Over the years, the components have been rigorously tested and optimized, offering an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the design maintains visual appeal, which makes it suitable for varied applications.
  • Versatility: The system offers a wide range of lengths, junctions, and accessories, ensuring flexibility for diverse projects and setups. This adaptability is particularly beneficial for users needing customized configurations that maintain structural integrity.

Typical Applications for the Heavy Duty Truss System

The system is renowned for its versatility and durability, making it an ideal choice for various applications. Here’s where it truly shines:

  • Arena Mother grids: Perfect for creating robust mother grids needing larger load capacity, the plated system supports easy configuration and simplicity of fixing.
  • Outdoor Roofs: It is frequently used in medium to larger sized concert stages, allowing for a cost effective outdoor solutions
  • Lighting Rigging: With the ability to support complex lighting configurations, the system is essential for setting up intricate lighting setups in both indoor and outdoor venues.

These applications underscore the Heavy Duty system’s adaptability, providing reliable support in demanding environments. Whether you’re constructing a dynamic trade show display or an elaborate lighting scheme, this system is engineered to meet your needs.
