EVT12S Heavy-Duty Plated Truss Knowledge Center
EVT12S-10FT 10-Foot 12 x 12 Heavy-Duty Box Truss Section.
A Straight, End-Plated Aluminum Truss Segment for Professional Structural Layouts.
The EVT12S-10FT is a 10 ft / 3.04 m straight section of heavy-duty 12 x 12 in / 304.8 x 304.8 mm square aluminum box truss. It uses an end-plated nut-and-bolt connection and is built from EN AW-6061 T6 aluminum alloy with 50 mm main tubing and 25 mm brace tubing. The section ships with four Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers. Its allowable load depends on the complete truss system, span, support locations, connection condition, load arrangement, and applicable EVT12S load tables—not on this single segment alone.
Product Facts
Product Overview
A 10-Foot Straight Segment for 12-Inch End-Plated Box Truss Systems.
The EVT12S-10FT is a straight, 10-foot square box truss section intended for compatible 12-inch plated truss systems. Its 10-foot length can reduce the number of joints in long linear runs, overhead grids, and other reviewed structural layouts. The rigid 12 x 12 in profile uses plated ends and a nut-and-bolt connection rather than conical connectors.
Layout Context
Use in Reviewed Long Runs, Grids, and Professional Staging Structures.
The 10-foot section supports modular construction of compatible 12-inch plated truss structures. Use it only within a documented configuration that accounts for span, supports, connection condition, loads, and any required engineering review. The longer straight length can help reduce joint count, but it does not by itself authorize a particular span or loading arrangement.

End-Plate Connection
Align the Plates. Install and Torque the Complete Bolt Set.
The EVT12S-10FT uses a plated nut-and-bolt connection. The supplied hardware is four Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers. Before applying load, verify precise end-plate alignment, inspect bolt holes and plates, install the full bolt set, and torque the bolts in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Do not rely on a partial connection or mismatched plate geometry.
System Compatibility
Compatible 12-Inch Plated Systems. Verify the Actual End-Plate Interface.
The EVT12S-10FT is designed for EVT12S and compatible industry-standard 12-inch plated box truss bolt patterns, including systems identified on the product source as Tomcat, James Thomas Engineering, Milos, and Show Solutions. Compatibility is not automatic: confirm end-plate dimensions, bolt-hole pattern, plate thickness, chord alignment, bolt hardware, and the complete structural plan before combining products from different manufacturers.
Installation Checks
Inspect the Truss. Then Verify Every Bolted Joint and the Complete Structure.
A plated truss system is only as complete as its installed joints, support arrangement, and approved structural plan. Perform assembly only with personnel familiar with trussing and rigging, and inspect the final configuration before lifting or applying load.
Safety and Engineering
A Truss Section Is Not a Stand-Alone Load Rating. Use the Complete-System Load Data.
The allowable load of an EVT12S-10FT installation depends on the full configuration, including span length, truss orientation, support arrangement, connection condition, distributed and point loads, and the applicable EVT12S load tables. Do not infer a permitted load from the section length, tubing size, or individual product weight. Consult a qualified engineer and the official system data for the specific structure where required.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is the EVT12S-10FT?
It is a 10-foot straight, 12 x 12 inch heavy-duty square aluminum box truss section with an end-plated nut-and-bolt connection.
What hardware is included?
The product source states that the section ships with four Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers for end-plate assembly.
What is it compatible with?
It is designed for EVT12S and compatible standard 12-inch plated box truss bolt patterns, with compatibility context including Tomcat, James Thomas Engineering, Milos, and Show Solutions. Verify the actual plate interface before combining systems.
What is the section weight?
The listed product weight is 59 lb / 26.76 kg.
How much can one 10-foot section hold?
Do not use the individual section as a stand-alone load rating. Allowable loading depends on the complete configuration, span, supports, connections, orientation, and applicable EVT12S load tables.
Can I connect it to another plated truss brand?
Only after verifying the actual end-plate dimensions, bolt-hole pattern, plate thickness, chord alignment, hardware, and complete structural configuration. Do not assume compatibility based on the nominal 12-inch profile alone.
