sam.henderson Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi all, Looking for people who manufacture ladder type truss, have checked out a few usual suspects on the web but it appears it must be quite a specialist or rare thing. I am also looking for a source of hire in the South West of england, I have checked my catalogues and it would appear neither Stage LX or Fineline (the two biggest rental houses down here) stock it! Any names greatly appreciated. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Shepperd Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Sam, Due to the ease that a ladder truss can be made, I would call directly the usual suspects and ask for a price. Although they may not feature it as a standard product, if you are after a basic design it is very quick to manufacture from scratch. Cheers, Piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoxjnr Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Try Slickas a Manufacturer, their ladderbeam (I think they call it "Liteladder") is quite nice. Alternatively, try Unusual if you require something bespoke. PM me if you have to source the gear from London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 OK, I will give stage a ring and see if they can make a few up, Thanks, Sam EDIT- Sorry just one more thing- has anyone got any photos of a ladder truss rigged with lanterns to explain what I mean to a client.

MartinGreen Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Virtually all manufacturers of truss can give you a price on Ladder. I know Prolyte and Tomcat do decent systems from my experience. Just have a look at the loading tables first though, they can fluctuate wildly, even on the same size beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
