Product Description
The EVT290S-Berlin is a 10x20 inline square aluminum truss booth built on the EVT290S 290mm (11.42 in) medium-duty square truss series — engineered for exhibitors who need a full 10x20 structural presence with four reconfigurable layouts, documented load ratings, and a total system weight that ships by standard freight without specialized handling equipment. Fabricated from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy with a brushed finish and built to TUV specifications, the Berlin weighs 450 lb and stands at 9.96 ft overhead — sitting between lightweight portable systems and heavier island configurations to give exhibitors a mid-weight option that fits both the freight budget and the show floor. Load capacity reaches 200 lb per linear foot on 10-foot spans and 120 lb per linear foot on 20-foot spans, supporting full lighting rigs, monitor arrays, and branded signage without compromise. Assembly requires a 3 to 4 person crew, a steel hammer, and an M10 hex allen wrench key. All couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips are included.
Key Features
- Four reconfigurable layouts: The same structural components reassemble into up to 4 documented booth configurations — inline for standard aisle assignments, small island when an end-cap or corner opens up — without sourcing additional hardware or a different system.
- 450 lb mid-weight system: Ships by standard freight without specialized handling equipment — lighter than the Bigsur's 924 lb and heavier island configurations, with full EVT290S structural performance.
- 200 lb per linear foot capacity on 10-foot spans: Handles serious lighting and AV loads across the full overhead structure — no compromise on what you can hang.
- 9.96 ft overhead height: Fits within the standard inline height restrictions most trade show and association conference venues enforce on exhibitors in standard aisle positions.
- Conical connection system: Steel hammer and M10 hex allen wrench key are the only tools required — a 3 to 4 person staff crew handles assembly without professional I&D labor.
- EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy: Corrosion-resistant, brushed finish construction built to TUV specifications with engineering report availability for venues that require formal safety documentation.
- Full EVT290S series compatibility: Every component integrates with the broader EVT290S catalog — the Berlin grows into 10x20 island, 20x20, and custom configurations as the exhibit program scales.
- 3D technical drawing included: Detailed assembly drawing with dimensions and part labels ships with every system. STEP and DWG files available upon request.
Who It's For
- Growing small businesses entering regional show circuits: You're running 8 to 15 regional shows per year and need a 10x20 booth that ships in standard freight cases, assembles with your own staff, and presents professionally at every stop. The four documented layouts let your team adapt to each show floor assignment — inline for standard aisle positions, small island when an end-cap or corner opens up — without renting or sourcing a different structure for each situation.
- Multi-show program managers running overlapping events: Your marketing team manages overlapping trade show schedules and needs booth infrastructure that duplicates economically or adapts quickly between configurations. The Berlin's four layouts reduce field improvisation when show floor assignments change at the last minute, and EVT290S expandability means the same structural investment grows into a 10x20 island or 20x20 footprint as the program scales — no sunk cost on the original system.
- First-time exhibitors scaling from 10x10 to 10x20: Moving from a 10x10 to a 10x20 for the first time is a real investment, and the Berlin's four reconfigurable layouts reduce that risk. If the inline layout underperforms at one show, the same system reconfigures into a small island for the next. When the program matures and needs a larger footprint, the Berlin's components fold directly into the full EVT290S series — the initial investment grows forward, not sideways.
- Corporate sponsors at association and industry conferences: Your company sponsors a 10x20 inline at a medical, legal, financial, or engineering association conference where exhibit halls enforce strict height limits and require formal safety documentation before approving custom truss structures. The Berlin's TUV specifications and engineering report availability give your facilities coordinator exactly what the venue needs, and the 9.96 ft profile stays within standard inline height restrictions without requiring a variance.
Clamp Compatibility — Read Before You Buy
The EVT290S-Berlin uses 50mm (1.97 in) main chord tubing. All lighting fixtures, monitor mounts, and rigging hardware must use 50mm clamps specifically rated for this chord diameter. Confirm clamp compatibility before specifying any attached loads.
Safety and Engineering
- Load distribution: Do not exceed 200 lb per linear foot on 10-foot spans or 120 lb per linear foot on 20-foot spans. All loads must be distributed equally across both chords.
- Rear scrim ballast: When a rear scrim or banner is in use, the structure requires 1,400 lb of ballast per corner or direct anchorage to a concrete slab.
- Pre-use inspection: Inspect all truss segments, couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips before every assembly. Any component showing damage or defects must be removed from service immediately and marked "DO NOT USE."
- Hardware seating: Confirm all conical connections are fully seated with coupler pins and R-clips properly secured before applying any load to the structure.
- Assembly personnel: Truss assembly should only be carried out by personnel familiar with trussing techniques and conical connection systems.
- Wind and transverse forces: When deploying outdoors or in high-airflow environments, account for wind load and other transverse forces in the structural design.
- Compatibility: Do not mix trusses or components from different manufacturers within the same structure.
- Engineering review: A licensed professional engineer must review all overhead rigging plots, custom configurations, and permanent installations prior to use.
- Ground stability: The use of sand bags is recommended for maximum stability on all non-anchored deployments.
