Product Description

36″ x 36″ Steel Base Plate | Heavy Duty Raised Truss Stabilizer (EVT12S-BP36SR2)

The EVT12S-BP36SR2 Steel Stabilizing Base Plate is an extra-heavy-duty 36-inch square foundation engineered for maximum stability in vertical truss applications. Featuring a 9mm thick steel slab mounted on a 2-inch raised frame, this plate offers superior rigidity and ground support compared to standard flat plates.

Function & Compatibility:

Weighing in at a massive 171 lbs (77.56 kg), this base provides exceptional ballast, significantly lowering the center of gravity for tall lighting towers, goal posts, and trade show arches. It is constructed from Q235 Steel with a professional Matte Black Powder Coat finish. The universal slot design ensures compatibility with EVT12S, EVT20S, and EVT290S truss systems.

Key Features

• Maximum Ballast: At 171 lbs, this is one of the heaviest standard base plates available, reducing the need for external sandbags in many indoor applications.
• Raised Frame Design: 2-inch welded frame prevents the large steel slab from warping and allows for easier hand placement underneath during setup.
• 4x Laser-Cut Handles: Integrated handles on all four sides allow for safer team lifting.
• 36″ Square Footprint: Provides a massive surface area for load distribution.
• Matte Black Finish: Anti-reflective coating ideal for broadcast and theatrical use.
• Center Flange: Includes one flange for 1.5″ Schedule 40 pipe (approx 1.9″ OD).

Designed by Evolve Truss (Distributed by Truss Genius), this plate comes installation-ready with necessary hardware for immediate mounting.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Critical Safety Information:

• Heavy Lift Warning: This unit weighs 171 lbs. NEVER lift alone. Always use a team lift (2-4 people) or mechanical assistance (forklift/dolly) to move this plate to avoid serious injury.
• Usage: While this plate offers significant stability, outdoor structures exposed to wind must always be reviewed by an engineer for additional ballast requirements.
• Inspection: Check welds on the raised frame for stress cracks before every use.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Ensure all bolts (for plated truss) or half-couplers (for conical truss) are fully tightened using the provided slots.
• Do not drop the plate; the weight can cause catastrophic damage to flooring or personal injury.
• Installations should be completed by trained professionals.
• A licensed structural engineer must review any load-bearing setup.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Hardware Check: This plate connects via Bolts.
  • For Plated Truss (EVT12S): Use standard Grade 8 bolts through the slots.
  • For Conical Truss (EVT290S): You will likely need Half-Couplers (Spigots with stud) to bolt into the plate slots to accept the truss.
• Pipe Sizing: The flange accepts 1.5″ Schedule 40 Pipe (1.90″ Outer Diameter). Ensure your upright pipes match this specific diameter.
