SkyGrid Suspended Triangle System Knowledge Center
Define an Overhead Zone
With a 20-Foot Triangular Truss Perimeter.
The SkyGrid-TRI400 is a suspended triangular perimeter frame built from EVT290S 290 mm square aluminum truss. The overall frame shape is triangular; “square” describes the truss profile, not the plan geometry. Its nominal 20 × 20 ft / 6 × 6 m envelope creates an overhead perimeter for planned lighting, AV, signage, scenic, display, studio, and technical installations. The completed structure must be assembled, suspended, and loaded only under a project-specific rigging and engineering plan.
Identity and Core Facts
What It Is
A Three-Sided Overhead Frame Built from Square-Profile EVT290S Truss.
SkyGrid-TRI400 is a triangular perimeter structure made from straight EVT290S square-profile truss sections, triangular-corner or junction components, and conical connection hardware. The frame’s three sides define the overhead shape; the 290 mm square profile describes the cross-section of each truss member.
Geometry Matters
The Shape Changes the Design Question. Plan a Triangle as a Triangle.
A triangular frame creates different perimeter lengths, corner conditions, equipment positions, and suspension considerations than a square grid. Use the technical drawing and approved project geometry to determine exact side lengths, corner components, pick-point locations, fixture positions, and clearances. Do not infer these values from a nominal 20 × 20 ft description alone.
When to Select It
Choose It When the Project Needs A Triangular Overhead Zone, Not a Rectangular Grid.
Select SkyGrid-TRI400 when a triangular footprint supports the approved production, exhibit, studio, architectural, or technical layout. The system is appropriate only where the venue structure, rigging plan, suspension equipment, installed loads, and qualified review support the completed overhead configuration.
Included Frame Components
Components and Hardware for the Complete Triangular Frame.
The SkyGrid-TRI400 package includes the EVT290S truss sections, triangular corner or junction components, and nine complete conical connection-hardware sets for assembly of the standard triangular frame. Confirm the current bill of materials against the sales order, packing list, and technical drawing before assembly.
Span sets, shackles, motors, chain falls, rigging points, and attachment hardware are site-specific. Select them only for the approved rigging plan and the actual venue structure.

System Compatibility
EVT290S, F34, and Matching 290 mm Square-Profile Conical Truss Systems.
The SkyGrid-TRI400 uses 290 mm square-profile truss geometry, 50 mm main chords, and a conical connection system. Compatibility with other components requires matching receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, chord geometry, corner or junction geometry, and engineering data for the revised complete structure. “Square-profile” refers to the truss cross-section; it does not change the triangular frame shape.
Assembly and Lifting
Assemble the Triangle at Ground Level. Inspect the Complete Frame Before Every Lift.
Ground assembly must be completed by qualified truss technicians. Suspension, lifting, leveling, and final positioning require a qualified rigging crew, rated lifting equipment, and an approved rigging plan. The following steps describe the required planning sequence; use the current technical drawing and project documentation for exact component orientation and connections.
Safety and Engineering
There Is No Universal Hanging Load for This System. Allowable Load Is Project-Specific.
The supplied product information does not establish one allowable load for every SkyGrid-TRI400 installation. Capacity depends on the triangular geometry, suspension-point quantity and location, truss orientation, support conditions, attached equipment, load distribution, lifting method, venue structure, and every component in the load path. A qualified engineer must determine the allowable distributed and point loads for the actual rigging plan.

This page records the product identity, triangular shape, 290 mm square truss profile, material, reported dimensions, system weight, connection type, and confirmed nine-set hardware package. It does not replace the current technical drawing, sales-order bill of materials, load documentation, venue approval, rigging plot, or qualified engineer’s project-specific review.
System Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SkyGrid-TRI400 a triangular system or a square grid?
It is a triangular perimeter system. The EVT290S truss members have a 290 mm square profile, but the overall frame geometry is triangular with three sides and three corners.
How much conical connection hardware is included?
Nine hardware sets are included. Each set contains four couplers, eight coupler pins, and eight R-clips, for totals of 36 couplers, 72 pins, and 72 R-clips.
Does the system include suspension hardware?
No. Span sets, shackles, motors, chain falls, rigging points, and related suspension hardware are site-specific and separate from the frame package.
What is the system load capacity?
There is no universal allowable load for every installation. A qualified engineer must determine allowable distributed and point loads for the actual triangular geometry, pick points, support structure, hardware, and attached equipment.
Can compatible EVT290S components expand or alter the frame?
Compatible components may support an alternate configuration, but any revised geometry, components, suspension plan, and load arrangement must be evaluated before use.
What inspections are required?
Inspect every truss section, corner or junction, coupler, pin, R-clip, bolt, and suspension component before each lift. Perform documented periodic inspections by a competent person as required by the governing conditions.
