Nova Beam Truss

Nova Beam Truss

50cm Square Truss

Nova Beam truss is a 50cm square truss that combines all the traditional components of Slick’s high quality trussing, with new elements which dramatically enhance the systems versatility with high vertical loading and represents an unique solution to lighting truss, where larger load capacities are needed in a small size of aluminium truss for the entertainment, event and presentation industry. Nova Beam forms the mast section of the heavy duty Nova Tower system used on all our bigger outdoor roof systems

EN1090

Designed to the latest Eurocodes and manufactured to EN1090-1, this product combines high comparative load capacities, low self-weight, and comes at a competitive price. All this whilst analysing the most common slinging / support methods on the truss has determined an ‘engineered’ product that can utilise the most modern manufacturing techniques.

Peace of Mind

You also have the peace of mind that Nova Beam loading charts have been calculated to EN17115 in order to give you the peace of mind that your lighting truss is still fit for purpose even after a few scratches and dents. What is the Frequent Use Factor?

The Nova Beam range features a variety of corners, swivels, hinges and base plates that utilize fork-end connectors for quick and easy assembly. The brace patterns are specifically engineered to withstand the loads and forces associated with common slinging and support methods. The extrusions used in the construction of these trusses are custom-designed by Total Solutions Group, ensuring enhanced structural effectiveness and streamlined manufacturing processes.

Understanding Nova Beam Truss

Quad, also known as box or square truss, is a robust structural framework that’s foundational in both construction and entertainment industries. Characterized by its four-tube square design, trusses are engineered to handle substantial weight loads, making them indispensable for large-scale projects.

Key Features

  • Superior Load Capacity: The Square range stands out as the strongest truss type, capable of supporting heavy equipment and spanning longer distances, without intermediate or lateral supports.
  • Versatile Applications: Its strength and stability make it an excellent choice for large builds, including stages, theatres, and exhibitions.
  • Orientation Simplicity: The square design ensures uniformity, which eliminates apex or directional issues that can complicate setup and alignment.

Practical Uses

  • Lighting & Displays: The four-tube construction provides extensive surface area for mounting lights, screens, and other display elements securely.
  • Structural Reliability: Thanks to its load-bearing capabilities, quad truss is often used in scenarios where safety and durability are paramount.

In summary, Nova Beam is favoured for its unmatched strength, versatility, and ease of use, positioning it as a top choice for professionals seeking reliable support structures in dynamic environments.
