david.elsbury Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'd suggest consulting the manufacturers or the loading tables for the truss in question. They should be able to provide you with this information. Of course, some people would say that if you're asking these questions on an internet forum, then you shouldn't be rigging this at all...

kerry davies Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Since it took me 30 seconds to find an answer I would suggest that you are quite right, David, and the OP needs to get a man who can. Hire a rigger, Neeraj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lewis Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi, Neeraj, The data sheet for QD30s truss is here. This will help tell you if your truss can handle the load you wish to fly. However, the "is it OK" part is something you have to be able to answer yourself, as you have a responsibility to yourself, your colleagues and your client to put up a safe structure. We can't know all the factors involved (how the truss is flown and from what, etc.) so it's not possible to say it's OK on the information given.If you need some local advice, Tom Ralston at Eclipse may be able to help you.

eng_moore Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 You can try this free truss calculator. I used this recently and their results are accurate. Hope it helps you with your calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontoprigger Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I would also be asking is what it is hanging from suitable, its all very well hanging a truss that will take the load but if the structure cant handle the load then the answer is no.

sunray Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Been there and swept up the broken bits, fortunately not my part of a job but it's all hands to the pumps when the guests are outside the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
