System Compatibility

For Standard 12-Inch End-Plated Truss Systems. Verify Every Connection.

This section is identified for standard 12-inch end-plated truss systems. Exact fit with other systems is not guaranteed. Before combining components, verify end-plate dimensions and thickness, bolt-hole positions, chord alignment, hardware, fastener engagement, and completed-joint seating.

System Match

Confirm the system uses a standard 12-inch end-plated format.

End Plates

Compare plate dimensions and bolt-hole positions.

Hardware

Confirm appropriate fasteners and engagement.

Completed Joint

Inspect alignment and full seating before use.

Assembly Overview

Align the End Plates. Install and Check All Four Fasteners.

Assembly should be performed by personnel qualified for the truss system in accordance with applicable manufacturer requirements. This outline provides neither torque values nor installation approval.

01 — Inspect

Check tubing, diagonal bracing, welds, plates, holes, finish, and hardware for damage.

02 — Align

Bring compatible end plates together without forcing distorted parts.

03 — Install Hardware

Fit specified fasteners at all four locations with adequate engagement.

04 — Tighten

Follow the applicable manufacturer fastener procedure.

05 — Check Seating

Confirm required hardware and full plate seating.

06 — Inspect Before Service

Review the completed truss system and supports before loading.

Engineering Reference

Load-Span Reference for Completed EVT12S Truss Runs.

All truss loading calculations are based on a completed compatible 12 x 12 aluminum-truss run supported or suspended at both ends, under one stated static-load alternative. The values below do not rate an individual straight section, plate, or six-foot truss segment. A section changes the overall length and adds bolted joints; it does not increase the completed system’s allowable capacity.

Load cases: CPL — one center load · TPL — two equal third-point loads · QPL — two equal quarter-point loads · UDL — load distributed over the complete span

Load-Span Assumptions and Project Review

Table assumptions: The reference evaluates unbraced truss configured as a simply supported beam. The primary analyzed spans were 10 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft, and 40 ft. If CPL, TPL, or QPL loading occurs at a truss connection, a minimum of two chords is assumed to support the vertical load.

Not included: Shock loads, dynamic loads, and resultant horizontal rigging forces, including forces from bridles or baskets. UDL applies only when the load is evenly distributed across the entire span. Published load cases are alternatives and are not additive.

Licensed structural-engineer review is required for every truss system. These values are general planning reference only and do not approve or rate an individual straight section, a completed lighting plot, a ground-support structure, a goal post, a tower, a start/finish arch, a suspended configuration, an outdoor installation, a mixed-component build, or any other assembled truss system. Confirm the complete configuration, supports, connections, span, applied loads, attachment points, rigging, ballast or anchorage, environmental conditions, and applicable code requirements with a licensed structural engineer before use.

Current documentation: Product specifications, included hardware, compatibility information, and availability are subject to change. Verify current product drawings, manufacturer instructions, connection hardware, and applicable engineering information before ordering, assembling, or using this product.

Safety and Engineering

A Truss Section Adds Length. It Does Not Increase Truss Capacity.

Allowable loading depends on the complete truss system, including span, supports, orientation, joints, suspension method, and applied loads. Suspended, load-bearing, dynamic-load, and complex applications require qualified structural or entertainment-rigging review. No stand-alone capacity value or torque value is provided here.

Inspect the truss section, diagonal braces, welds, plates, bolt holes, hardware, and connected truss before every use.

Remove any component with cracks, bends, elongated holes, plate deformation, damaged welds, or substantial finish damage from service.

Install and tighten all required fasteners using the applicable manufacturer procedure.

Do not support loads directly from connection points without approval for the complete truss system.

Verify connection interfaces and completed-system suitability before combining different systems.

Have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least annually and remove unsafe parts from service.
