Nova Lite Truss
50cm Square.
The Nova Lite is a lightweight version of the Nova Beam, designed for scenarios where budget constraints are a concern, and the heavier capacities of the Nova Beam are not required. Utilizing a 48x3mm main tube instead of the heavier 48×4.47mm scaffold tube, the Nova Lite is a 50cm square truss system. It is available in section lengths ranging from 0.5 meters to 4 meters and is manufactured from high-grade 6082-T6 aluminium. The system features a fork-end jointing system for ease of use and incorporates all the traditional components of Slick’s high-quality trussing.
EN1090 Compliance.
The Nova Lite is designed to the latest Eurocodes and manufactured to EN1090-1 standards. This product combines high comparative load capacities with low self-weight, offering a competitive price point. By analysing the most common slinging and support methods on the product, an engineered product has been created that utilizes modern manufacturing techniques to maximize efficiency and performance.
Components and Features.
The Nova Lite range includes 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 provide maximum strength with minimal cross-sectional area, ensuring value engineering. The extrusions used in the construction of these trusses are custom-designed by Total Solutions Group, enhancing structural effectiveness and streamlining manufacturing processes.
Applications.
Nova Lite is perfect for a wide range of applications, especially where a 50cm truss is needed, but the heavier capacities of the Nova Beam are not required. It is ideal for use in temporary structures, such as outdoor festivals and events, where it can be employed for roofing systems over stages, ensuring stability under varied weather conditions. The lightweight design and ease of assembly make Nova Lite a go-to solution for event organizers seeking reliable and adaptable structures.
Summary.
In summary, the Nova Lite truss system offers an excellent balance of strength, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a valuable addition to any event production toolkit. Its compliance with EN1090 standards and its innovative design ensures that it meets the rigorous demands of modern event production, providing peace of mind to organizers and technicians alike.

Understanding Nova Lite.
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.

Key Benefits of the Fork End System
Fork end connections are a popular choice for aluminium trussing in the live events industry due to several key features:
- Ease of Assembly: Fork end connections generally consist of a female set of fork connectors on one side and a male set on the other. (Slick Nova beam and Nova Lite products combine both types on one end). This design allows for quick and straightforward assembly, as the modules can be easily slotted together and secured with truss pins by means of a truss hammer.
- Strength and Stability: These connections provide a robust and stable joint, which is crucial for supporting heavy loads such as lighting, sound equipment, and digital displays. The secure fit ensures that the truss structure remains stable even under significant weight.
- Versatility: Aluminium trussing with fork end connections can be used in various configurations, including straight segments, corners, and curved elements. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from stage setups to exhibition booths.
- Lightweight and Durable: Aluminium is known for being lightweight yet strong, making it an ideal material for trussing. The use of fork end connections does not compromise the truss’s overall durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of frequent assembly and disassembly.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The clean and professional look of aluminium trussing with fork end connections adds to the visual appeal of event setups. This is particularly important in the live events industry, where the appearance of the stage and equipment can impact the overall experience
These features make fork end connections a reliable and efficient choice for aluminium trussing in the live events industry, providing both practical benefits and aesthetic advantages.
