What is the difference between I-Beam (Ladder) truss and square box truss for a trade show booth?

Yes. The EVT290I-Amador uses 50mm (2-inch) OD main chord tubing, the same diameter as the EVT290S square truss and most standard production truss systems. Standard 2-inch clamps fit both systems. This is different from the EVT220S and EVT220T booth systems, which use 35mm tubing and require 35mm-specific clamps.

How critical is the orientation of the I-Beam truss during setup?

Orientation is critical. The main chords must run vertically (the rungs horizontal, like a ladder you would climb) for the system to achieve its rated 45 lb per linear foot and 225 lb center point load capacity. Installing I-Beam truss on its side — with the main chords running horizontally — dramatically reduces the load capacity and is not an approved configuration. Before loading any fixtures or banners, verify that all spans are correctly oriented. A licensed professional engineer should review all configurations before use.

What applications is this medium-duty I-Beam truss suitable for?

This modular 290mm I-Beam truss system is ideal for professional trade show booths, retail displays, and lightweight banner frames. It provides a clean, modern look while maximizing floor space.

System Overview

A Portable 10x10 I-Beam Truss Booth Built for Efficient Transport and Professional Display Use.

The EVT290I-Amador combines a 10x10 footprint, 9.84 ft overall height, and modular conical construction in one complete fixed booth configuration.

10x10 Booth Footprint

Provides a large branded display area for inline or island-style configurations.

Fixed 10x10 Layout

Designed to assemble as the specified 10x10 booth configuration shown for this system.

Light-Duty EVT290I Truss

Uses 290 mm square truss with 35 mm main chords for a compact exhibit profile.

Reusable Booth System

The booth can be transported, disassembled, and rebuilt in the same 10x10 configuration for future events.

Common Applications

Designed for Trade Shows and Branded Environments.

Trade Show Exhibits

Create a branded overhead structure for 10x10 exhibit spaces.

Product Displays

Frame product demonstrations, shelving, graphics, and display counters.

Branded Activations

Support banners, signage, lighting, and branded visual elements.

Temporary Retail

Build pop-up and promotional environments with reusable truss components.

Corporate Events

Create registration, sponsor, demonstration, or hospitality structures.

Who It’s For

Built for Teams That Need A Reusable 10x10 Display System.

Exhibit Builders

For modular client booths and repeat trade-show installations.

Marketing Agencies

Configuration

One Complete 10x10 Booth. Expandable with Additional EVT290I Components.

The supplied EVT290I-Amador kit assembles as the specified 10x10 booth shown for the system. Different dimensions or layouts require separately selected EVT290I straight sections, corners, or junction components and a new engineering review.

Specified 10x10 Layout

The included component set is intended to build the complete Amador 10x10 booth configuration.

Flat-Packing Profile

The I-Beam ladder profile stacks efficiently and reduces storage and transport volume compared with box truss.

Repeatable Assembly

The booth can be disassembled, transported, and rebuilt in the same specified configuration.

Optional Expansion

Larger footprints or different layouts require additional EVT290I components selected for the new design.

System Compatibility

EVT290I, F32, and Standard 290 mm I-Beam Truss Systems.

The EVT290I-Amador uses 290 mm I-Beam truss geometry, 50 mm main chords, and a matching conical connection system. Compatibility requires matching receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, and engineering data.

EVT290I Compatibility

Integrates with compatible EVT290I straight sections, corners, and expansion components.

F32 Compatibility

Compatible with matching F32 290 mm I-Beam truss geometry and conical hardware.

Standard 290 mm I-Beam Systems

Verify receiver spacing, connection geometry, and engineering data before combining systems.

50 mm Clamp Compatibility

Main chords accept properly rated standard 50 mm / 2 in clamps.

Assembly Overview

Build the Crown First. Then Add the Vertical Supports.

The system is typically assembled by three to four people using a steel hammer for the tapered-pin conical connections.

01 — Organize Components

Lay out straight sections, corners, bases, couplers, pins, and R-clips by position.

02 — Build the Overhead Crown

Assemble the upper 10x10 rectangular structure at floor level.

03 — Install Base Components

Position and secure the bases according to the specified 10x10 booth layout.

04 — Add Vertical Sections

Raise the crown in a controlled sequence and install the vertical supports.

05 — Lock Every Connection

Verify all couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips are fully seated.

06 — Final Inspection

Confirm plumb, level, ballast, clearances, and attachment security before use.

Published Load and Stability Reference

Correct Orientation and Ballast Are Essential for I-Beam Truss.

Linear Load Reference

Maximum 45 lb per linear foot on each span when correctly oriented and subject to engineering review.

Center Point Load

Maximum 225 lb on each span. Center-point and linear loading are not concurrent.

Rear Scrim or Banner

Use 450 lb of ballast at each corner, or engineered anchorage to a concrete slab, when a rear scrim or banner is installed.

Vertical Chord Orientation

Install the I-Beam truss with main chords vertical and ladder rungs horizontal. Sideways orientation is not approved for the published values.

Published values assume no bridling and equal load distribution between both chords. A licensed professional engineer must review the completed structure, loads, ballast, anchorage, and venue conditions.

Safety and Engineering

Exhibit Loads, Ballast, and Overhead Elements Must Be Evaluated as One System.

Final capacity depends on the booth configuration, attached signs, lighting, graphics, monitors, rigging points, ballast, floor conditions, and venue requirements.

Use only complete, undamaged EVT290I-compatible components and connection hardware.

Use 35 mm clamps only; standard 50 mm clamps will not fit the main chords.

Do not apply loads directly at truss connections unless specifically allowed by the engineering data.

Evaluate all graphics, monitors, lighting, shelving, and suspended elements before installation.

Provide ballast or anchoring suitable for the actual booth configuration and venue conditions.

Assembly should be performed by trained personnel following an approved installation plan.
