Product Description
EVT220T-Balboa — 10x20 Trade Show Exhibit Display Booth, Light-Duty Triangular Aluminum Truss
The EVT220T-Balboa 10x20 Trade Show Exhibit Display Booth is a complete light-duty triangular aluminum truss booth system that assembles in a 10x20 footprint with a crew of three to four people, no specialized training, and one steel hammer. Built from 6082-T6 aluminum alloy to TUV specifications with a conical connection system, the Balboa reconfigures between two distinct booth layouts so the same structural investment serves an inline display at one show and a compact island configuration at the next — without purchasing a second system or hiring outside installation labor. The triangular truss profile delivers a premium structural aesthetic that fabric pop-ups and tension displays cannot replicate at a comparable price point, and the system expands with additional EVT220T series components when the display footprint needs to grow. Compatible with 35mm (1.37-inch) clamps for mounting lighting, signage, and display accessories to the truss chords.
System Overview:
The EVT220T-Balboa operates on a conical coupler connection system — each truss section seats into the adjacent coupler and pins with a tapered pin and cotter pin, requiring only a steel hammer to drive the connections. The assembly sequence follows a detailed 3D technical drawing with dimensions and part labels included with every kit, which means a crew that has never built the system before can read through the drawing and complete the build without a site supervisor or installation contractor. Two configuration layouts are built into the system geometry — switch between them by reconfiguring the corner connections, not by purchasing additional components. For larger footprints, straight EVT220T sections add length or width in standard increments. An engineering report is available as a separate service for shows or facilities that require documentation.
Key Features
- Two Booth Configurations: Reconfigures between 2 distinct layout designs — inline and compact island — using the same structural components, without buying additional pieces for each show format.
- 3 to 4 Person Assembly: No specialized installation crew required. Three to four people using a steel hammer and the included 3D technical drawing complete the build without outside labor costs at each show.
- Steel Hammer Only: The conical connection system requires no power tools, wrenches, or hex keys — the only tool needed is a standard steel hammer.
- EVT220T Expandable: Integrates directly with the full EVT220T series — add straight sections, corners, and accessories to grow the footprint beyond 10x20 as the display needs evolve.
- 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy: Corrosion-resistant structural aluminum with a brushed finish — durable for repeated assembly, transport, and strike across a full show season.
- TUV Certified: Fabricated to TUV specifications for safety and structural standards.
- 3D Technical Drawing Included: Detailed assembly drawing with dimensions and part labels ships with every kit. Engineering report available as a separate service.
- 35mm Clamp Compatible: Chords accept standard 35mm (1.37-inch) clamps for mounting lighting fixtures, monitors, and branded display hardware.
Who It's For
- Marketing Agencies and Brand Activation Teams — You manage brand activations for multiple clients across a show calendar where every floor plan is different and every client has a different footprint. A booth system that reconfigures between an inline and a compact island layout means the same structural kit supports two different client programs without building a new structure from scratch between shows. The triangular truss profile gives each activation a premium structural presence — the kind of aesthetic that communicates brand investment and differentiates a display from the fabric pop-ups and tension displays packed around it on the show floor — without the cost and lead time of custom fabrication.
- Growing Small Businesses Doing Regional Trade Shows — You exhibit at 8 to 12 shows per year and you need booth infrastructure that your own team can handle without paying outside installation labor at every stop. Three to four people using the included 3D drawing and a steel hammer complete the Balboa build without specialized training, which means the business owner's crew assembles and strikes the system at every show without scheduling a contractor or absorbing an install fee into each show budget. The system travels in manageable components, stores efficiently between shows, and looks professional on any floor regardless of the venue.
- Event Rental Companies Building Booth Inventory — You supply trade show exhibitors and you need booth systems that serve the widest possible range of client requests without stocking duplicate inventory. The Balboa's two-configuration flexibility means a single kit rents for an inline program at one show and an island layout at the next — two different client needs served by one unit, which improves the utilization rate of each kit in your inventory. EVT220T expandability means the same core kit also supports larger footprint builds when you add sections, giving you a scalable rental unit rather than a fixed-size product.
- Product Launch and Pop-Up Experience Operators — You run consumer brand activations at festivals, retail pop-ups, and experiential events where the setup window is a morning and the team is small. The conical connection system is fast enough for a festival morning build, the 10x20 footprint creates a defined branded space that stands apart from temporary tent setups, and the aluminum truss structure communicates a premium production value that fabric displays cannot match at a comparable cost. The system breaks down into components that fit in a transport vehicle without a dedicated freight solution, and it reassembles at the next activation without bringing in specialized labor.
The EVT220T-Balboa is the 10x20 structural booth system for teams that build their own displays, serve multiple clients from a single kit, or need a premium structural platform that fits in a show schedule without a dedicated installation crew.
Safety Notice
It is essential to follow the guidelines below to ensure the safe and effective use of the EVT220T-Balboa Truss Booth 10x20.
- Load Capacity: Do not exceed the specified load capacity. All loads must be distributed equally between both chords.
- Inspection: Before use, thoroughly inspect the truss for damage or defects. If any damage is found, the truss must immediately be taken out of service and marked with "DO NOT USE."
- Handling: Handle truss segments carefully. Avoid dropping, dragging, or stacking them on top of each other.
- Assembly: Truss assembly should only be carried out by those familiar with trussing techniques.
- Coupler Connectors: Do not attach the truss with damaged coupler connectors or fewer connectors than required. Ensure coupler connectors are installed correctly and that coupler pins and cotter pins are secured.
- Design and Rigging: When designing and rigging truss systems, consider the effects of transverse forces such as wind load.
- Compatibility: Using trusses or parts from different manufacturers is prohibited.
- Professional Review: The purchase of this product does not authorize or approve a specific installation or use. A licensed professional engineer must review all structures, lighting plots, or other aluminum truss uses.
Do not exceed the load capacity of the EVT220T-Balboa Truss Booth System. The system should be fully inspected before use. In the occurrence of any damage or defect, the system should not be used. The use of sandbags is recommended for maximum security.
