Product Description

EVT12S-2FT | 2-Foot Aluminum Truss Section (12×12 Box Truss Plated)

The EVT12S-2FT Aluminum Truss Section is a 2-foot straight segment for 12-inch square end-plated aluminum truss systems — the shortest full-profile section in the EVT12S lineup and the one that shows up on every bill of materials where the layout doesn’t divide evenly into 5-foot and 10-foot lengths. At 24 inches, this is the compact structural piece that closes dimensional gaps between corner blocks and the next full-length straight, extends a span by a small increment without overshooting, and anchors compact builds where longer sections simply don’t fit. Concert production crews tightening main stage grids for touring rigs that change venues nightly, industrial facility planners bridging structural steel attachment points that never fall on neat intervals, motion capture studios positioning camera nodes at exact three-dimensional coordinates, and church technical directors routing grids around architectural obstructions all order the 2-foot because the drawing calls for it and a longer section would push the layout past the target dimension.

Function & Compatibility:

The EVT12S-2FT connects through bolted end-plates, not conical couplers. It shares the same 12-inch square cross-section, chord geometry, and through-bolt pattern as every other EVT12S piece — from the shortest spacer to the longest straight section. 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction throughout, delivering the same structural grade and load continuity as the 5-foot and 10-foot sections it typically sits between. Unlike spacers, the 2-foot section includes diagonal bracing across its length, giving it full lateral rigidity as a standalone structural segment — making it equally suited as a filler in a long span, a pedestal column, a compact side-stage tower base, or a short overhead bridge between two support points.

Key Features

• Compact Full-Profile Section: A complete 2-foot (24-inch) truss segment with diagonal bracing — not a spacer, but a fully rigid structural section that fills gaps, extends spans, and anchors compact builds where longer sections overshoot the layout.
• Professional Finish: Standard brushed aluminum surface — visually consistent with every other silver EVT12S component in the system.
• Included Hardware: Ships with 4x Grade 8 Bolts, Nuts, and Washers for immediate high-strength assembly into any EVT12S run.
• Heavy-Duty Alloy: Fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum — the same material grade used across the entire EVT12S truss family, maintaining load path integrity at every connection.
• End-Plated Connection: Standard EVT12S through-bolt end-plate geometry, cross-compatible with other 12-inch plated truss systems that share the same bolt pattern and plate dimensions.
• TÜV Specifications: Manufactured to TÜV-certified standards — the 2-foot length carries the same engineering certification as every other section length in the EVT12S series.

Who It’s For

• Concert & Festival Production Teams — You’re tightening a main stage grid, filling the gap between a corner block and the next full-length straight, or building compact side-stage towers for delay speakers and follow-spot platforms. On touring rigs that load in and out of different venues every night, a 2-foot section gives the crew the flexibility to adapt the same truss inventory to stages with different dimensions without carrying extra long sections that won’t fit the next room.
• Industrial & Warehouse Facility Planners — You’re incorporating short truss sections into overhead conveyor supports, equipment bridge frames, and utility pipe racks inside manufacturing plants and distribution centers. A 2-foot section fills the span between structural steel attachment points that rarely fall on neat intervals, keeping the truss grid aligned with the building’s column spacing without field-cutting a longer piece.
• Motion Capture & Virtual Production Studios — You’re building a precision camera grid where every sensor mount must sit at an exact coordinate in three-dimensional space. A 2-foot section provides a short structural segment between mounting nodes without adding unnecessary length that would push the next camera position out of calibration range — and the full diagonal bracing gives it the lateral rigidity that a spacer at this length cannot.
• Church & Worship Facility Technical Directors — You’re designing a permanent overhead truss grid for lighting, projection, and speaker systems in a sanctuary or multipurpose hall. A 2-foot section lets you work around architectural obstructions — columns, HVAC ducts, balcony soffits — while keeping the grid continuous and load paths uninterrupted across the room.
• Rigging & Structural Engineers — The EVT12S-2FT is a fully braced truss section, not a spacer. It carries the same 6061-T6 alloy specification and TÜV-certified fabrication as every other EVT12S component and appears on an engineered drawing as a standard cataloged section — refer to the official EVT12S load tables for allowable loads at your specific total span length.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT12S-2FT is the compact section that makes every layout work — the 2-foot piece that fills the gap, closes the span, and keeps the system on-dimension without compromise.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Critical Load Rating Information: The rated load capacity for this 2-foot segment depends entirely on the full system configuration. The 2-foot segment is typically not the limiting factor in a truss span. For precise load specifications, always refer to the official EVT12S Truss Series Load Tables for the specific span length you are building. Consult a qualified engineer before use.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Inspect the end plates and bolt holes for deformation or wear before every use.
• Ensure all Grade 8 bolts are properly torqued to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not mix truss components from different manufacturers unless the bolt pattern and plate dimensions have been strictly verified.
• The purchase of this product does not authorize specific installations; a licensed professional engineer shall review all structures, lighting plots, or other aluminum truss uses.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning for Mixed-Brand Builds

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify Bolt Patterns: Plated truss varies by manufacturer. Compare your existing truss plate dimensions against EVT12S specifications before purchase.
• Check Alignment: Ensure chord alignment is precise to prevent uneven loading on the bolts.
• Mixing incompatible plated truss can lead to structural failure.
