Truss sizes - European standard?

[nerbit]

Hi,

 

I am touring a show to Europe from Australia later in the year (at this stage Brussels is confirmed, but possibly Linz and Paris as well). The show uses 12 sticks of truss. I am wanting to know whether box or tri truss is more commonly used in Europe and is 300mm readily available (standard in Oz)? We have some set elements that we are building and we would like to build the couplers to fit the most common size.

 

Thanks

300mm box wont be a problem - its very common, with Prolyte and Milos making 300mm amoungst others. 300mm pitch triangular will be more unusual, tends to be approx 250mm pitch before stockists go to box truss ( although you do see 500mm triangular occasionally)

 

so, im sure you will be fine - a couple of enquiry emails to local hire companies / venues will soon sort you out

300mm Tri truss is very common in Australia (and is a type of truss that you don't see out of the country), although it obviously doesn't have a very high weight loading.

 

The data sheet can be found here:

You will find the OP is from Australia, and I'd say they are familar with what is over there. If you read the OP again, they want to tour a show to Europe, hence the question.

Oh yeah! Sorry - I read it the wrong way around!

Thanks, looks like I'll make it for 300mm box truss then - wasn't planning on anything else for my weekend
