broadway_lad Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi - I am just wondering if anyone knows of any place where I can buy Truss which is only for decorative purposes only and won't take any weight if there is such a thing! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 There is - known as lightweight truss, shop truss or deco truss. Should be available from all lighting places that sell normal truss as its made by the same companies (Thomas, Litec etc) I.e Stage Electrics, AC Lighting, Thomann etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seano Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Even the lightest of light duty architectural truss is rated for something though, even if its just a handful of birdies. I don't think there's much of a market for a truss that's literally can't carry any load whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Even the best rated truss fails to carry its own weight as the span increases so please check the manufacturers loading charts, even for unloaded truss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceecrb1 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 this sounds dumb... but maplin makes crap DJ truss.. seem to remeber it being cheap.. dont quote me on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Beesley Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Maplin only stock the DJ type goalpost systems. We stock the Ultimax Trusslite ... its a basic, steel truss suitable for small rigs, trade show stands and soon there will be systems for supporting small starcloths. The other option may be Euromet Truss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
