Detail 01
Base plate, not a stand
It's a footprint for a truss leg. It does nothing on its own without a vertical truss section.

Global TrussSQ4137 Base Plate
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A steel footing that lets a vertical Global Truss section stand on the floor. Buy one per upright leg in a ground-supported structure.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standing truss uprights for a DJ or band backdrop
- Ground-support goalposts at trade shows and events
- Replacing or adding legs to an existing truss structure
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone not already buying Global Truss segments
- Overhead rigging, where truss is suspended rather than floor-standing
- Tall uprights on uneven or sloped ground without added ballast
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Light weight
Easy to carry and stack, but it is a footing, not ballast. Tall or loaded uprights need added weight.
Detail 03
Steel plate construction
Takes repeated load-in abuse and drops. It will scuff floors — put something under it indoors.
Detail 04
One per leg
A simple goalpost with two uprights needs two. Four-post structures need four.
Detail 05
$100 each
Cheap relative to truss sections, so the base plates are rarely what drives your budget.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Truss sections and connection hardware are separate purchases
- 02Count your uprights first — you need one plate per leg
- 03Add sandbags or weight plates for anything tall or top-heavy
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need one for every truss leg?
Yes. Each vertical section that touches the floor needs its own plate, so count your uprights before ordering.
02Is it heavy enough to hold up a loaded truss?
Treat it as a footing rather than ballast. Tall uprights carrying fixtures should be weighted down or tied off in addition to the plate.
03Does it work with any truss?
It's designed for Global Truss square truss. Other brands and series use different chord spacing, so the connection points may not align.
04Will it mark my floor?
Steel plates under load will scuff finished floors. Use carpet squares or a pad underneath for venue work.
