What matters in use
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 01
Three main tubes instead of four. Lighter and cheaper per foot than square truss, with less load capacity and one fewer hanging face.
Detail 02
The size clamps grip. Standard lighting clamps for 2 in. tubing attach directly with no adapter.
Detail 03
The tube wall carries the load. Thin wall keeps weight down; it also means dents from rough handling are real damage.
Detail 04
Narrow enough to pass through doorways and pack into a van without special handling.
Detail 05
One person can carry and lift a section into place overhead on a stand.
Detail 06
A short module. Spans are built by bolting sections end to end, so this is a building block, not a finished span.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Connecting hardware, bolts and pins are ordered separately, and you need a set for every joint in the rig.
Standard lighting clamps sized for 2 in. tubing attach directly to the main tubes.
No. Triangular and square truss use different profiles and bolt patterns. Stay within one profile for a given structure.
Load capacity depends on span length, how it's supported and how the load is distributed. Work from the manufacturer's load tables for your configuration, not a single number.
