Product Description

EVT290S-Carson — 20x20 Trade Show Exhibit Display Booth, Medium-Duty Square Aluminum Truss System

The EVT290S-Carson 20x20 Trade Show Exhibit Display Booth is a complete medium-duty square aluminum truss system that covers a 400 square foot footprint at 9.97 feet of overhead height, reconfigures into 4 distinct structural layouts, and serves two entirely different buyer groups from a single structural investment: trade show exhibitors who need a 20x20 island booth that commands visual attention from all four sides of the floor, and motion capture studio directors who need a rigid, repeatable 20x20 overhead grid for camera mounting, marker arrays, and lighting. Built from 6082-T6 aluminum alloy to TUV specifications with 50mm (1.96-inch) OD main chord tubing and a conical coupler connection system, the Carson assembles with a crew of three to four people using a steel hammer and M10 hex Allen wrench, breaks down into transportable components, and integrates with the full EVT290S series when the application demands a larger footprint. At 530 lbs of total system weight, this is a substantial structural platform built for the loads that a 20x20 overhead structure carries — lighting, signage, monitors, camera arrays, and branded display elements — not a decorative display system.

System Overview:

The EVT290S-Carson operates on the same conical coupler connection system used across the EVT290S series — each section seats into the adjacent coupler, locks with a tapered pin and cotter pin, and requires no power tools or specialized hardware. The complete system assembles following a detailed 3D technical drawing with dimensions and part labels included with every kit. The four configuration layouts are built into the system geometry — switch between them by reconfiguring the corner and junction connections rather than purchasing additional components. For applications that need to grow beyond 20x20, straight EVT290S sections extend the system in standard increments. An engineering report is available as a separate service for facilities, shows, or clients that require documentation. All connecting hardware ships with the system.

Key Features

• 4 Booth Configurations: Reconfigures between 4 distinct structural layouts — trade show island, partitioned sub-areas, studio grid variations, and activation footprints — using the same components without purchasing additional structural pieces.
• 400 Square Foot Coverage: Full 20x20 footprint at 9.97 feet of overhead height — enough vertical clearance for lighting, signage, camera arrays, and branded overhead elements that smaller systems and fabric displays cannot support at this height.
• EVT290S Expandable: Integrates directly with the full EVT290S series — extend to 20x40 or larger configurations by adding straight sections and junction blocks for the next client's larger activation or a permanent studio expansion.
• Medium-Duty 290mm Square Profile: 50mm OD main chord tubing with 20mm diagonal bracing — the structural class built for the sustained loads of 20x20 overhead installations carrying lighting rigs, camera mounts, monitor arrays, and branded signage.
• 3 to 4 Person Assembly: Steel hammer and M10 hex Allen wrench are the only tools required. Three to four people complete the build following the included 3D technical drawing without a dedicated installation crew.
• 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy: Corrosion-resistant structural aluminum with a brushed finish — built for the repeated assembly, transport, and strike cycles of a full show season or research facility calendar.
• TUV Certified: Manufactured to TUV specifications for structural safety and quality standards.
• 3D Technical Drawing Included: Detailed assembly drawing with dimensions and part labels ships with every kit. Engineering report available as a separate service.
• 50mm Clamp Compatible: Main chord tubing accepts standard 50mm (1.96-inch) clamps for mounting lighting fixtures, cameras, monitors, and display hardware.

Who It's For

• Motion Capture Studio Directors and Virtual Production Supervisors — You need a 20x20 overhead grid that gives your capture system a rigid, repeatable mounting structure for cameras, retroreflective markers, and studio lighting — and one that can be reconfigured as your production requirements evolve. Unlike permanent custom-built studio infrastructure, the EVT290S-Carson breaks down and rebuilds in different configurations as the studio's capture protocols change: full 20x20 single-studio setups for large-scale body performance capture, partitioned sub-areas for concurrent capture sessions running different protocols, or hybrid configurations that position cameras at specific coordinates the system was calibrated for. The medium-duty 290mm square truss gives the grid the rigidity that camera mounting demands — a structure that doesn't shift, sag, or flex under the weight of professional camera hardware between calibration and capture.
• Large Format Island Booth Exhibitors — You exhibit in 20x20 island configurations at CES, NAB, SEMA, and major industry conventions where your booth competes for attention from all four sides of the floor. A 20x20 EVT290S aluminum truss system creates an architectural overhead canopy at heights that popup displays and tension fabric systems physically cannot reach — the vertical presence that signals to attendees across the hall that your brand occupies serious floor space. Lighting hung from the overhead structure washes the booth from above, monitors and digital signage hang at eye level and overhead simultaneously, and the brushed aluminum truss profile itself communicates structural investment rather than a commodity display system. The four configuration options mean the same structural investment also adapts to a different show floor plan when the next event's booth assignment changes the footprint requirements.
• Live Event Production Companies Building Branded Environments — You build branded immersive environments, sponsor activations, and experiential marketing installations for corporate clients whose venue floor plans change with every event. The Carson's four configurations and EVT290S expandability give you a structural system that builds a 20x20 at one client event and extends to a 20x40 or larger at the next client's bigger activation without purchasing a separate system for each footprint. The medium-duty structural class carries the overhead loads that corporate activations require — lighting rigs, large-format LED panels, AV hardware, suspended branded elements — at a scale that makes the activation visible and premium from across the venue floor.
• University Research Labs and Biomechanics Facilities — Your academic motion capture lab, sports science center, or biomechanics research facility needs a standardized, adjustable overhead mounting infrastructure that accommodates the camera array specifications your capture software requires for full-body coverage. A 20x20 EVT290S grid provides the dimensional footprint that most professional capture systems specify for full-body gait analysis, athletic performance measurement, and rehabilitation research — and the conical connection system lets research teams reconfigure the structure as study protocols change, camera technologies upgrade, or the lab takes on new research programs that require different mounting geometries. The structural system travels and reassembles when the lab moves, unlike built-in ceiling infrastructure that becomes a sunk cost the moment the facility changes.
• Structural and Rigging Engineers — The EVT290S-Carson is a 20x20 ft (6m x 6m) complete aluminum truss system using EVT290S medium-duty 290mm square sections, 50mm OD / 2mm wall main chord tubing, and 20mm diagonal bracing, fabricated from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy to TUV specifications. Total system weight is 530 lbs (240.40 kg). System height is 9.97 ft (3 m). Compatible with standard 50mm clamps and EVT290S series expansion components. A licensed professional engineer must review all structures and installations. Engineering reports are available as a separate service.

The EVT290S-Carson is the 20x20 structural platform for organizations that need a large-format overhead grid that adapts — four configurations from a single investment, expandable to larger footprints, and built for the loads that a 400 square foot overhead installation actually carries.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Critical Load Rating Information: The rated load capacity for this system depends on the full configuration — total span length, support positions, and load distribution. For precise load specifications, always refer to the official EVT290S Load Tables for your specific configuration. Consult a qualified engineer before use.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Thoroughly inspect all truss sections, coupler connectors, and hardware for damage or defects before every use. If any damage is found, the component must immediately be taken out of service and marked "DO NOT USE."
• Ensure all coupler pins and cotter pins are fully engaged and secured on every connection before loading the structure.
• Do not exceed the specified load capacity. All loads must be distributed equally between chords.
• Handle truss segments carefully. Avoid dropping, dragging, or stacking them on top of each other.
• Assembly should only be carried out by personnel familiar with trussing techniques.
• When designing and rigging this system, consider the effects of transverse forces such as wind load.
• Using trusses or parts from different manufacturers is prohibited.
• 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.
• The use of sandbags is recommended for maximum stability in high-traffic or outdoor environments.
