Product Description

48″ x 48″ Steel Base Plate | Extra Heavy Duty Truss Stabilizer (EVT12S-BP48SR1)

The EVT12S-BP48SR1 Steel Stabilizing Base Plate is a massive 48-inch square foundation designed for the most demanding vertical truss applications. Engineered for large-scale productions and high-traffic events, this plate features a 9mm thick steel slab mounted on a 1-inch raised frame to provide maximum rigidity and load distribution.

Function & Compatibility:

Weighing in at an impressive 249 lbs (112.94 kg), this base plate offers superior ballast, essential for tall towers or structures requiring significant resistance to tipping. It is constructed from industrial-grade Q235 Steel with a durable Matte Black Powder Coat finish. The universal slot design ensures compatibility with EVT12S, EVT20S, and EVT290S truss systems.

Key Features

• Extreme Ballast: At 249 lbs, this plate provides exceptional stability, often eliminating the need for external sandbags in indoor setups.
• Raised Frame Design: 9mm steel plate on a 1″ welded frame enhances structural integrity and provides clearance for handling.
• 4x Laser-Cut Handles: Integrated handles allow for positioning (requires team lift or mechanical aid).
• 48″ Square Footprint: Massive surface area maximizes ground contact and stability.
• Matte Black Finish: Professional anti-reflective coating resists scratches and corrosion.
• Center Flange: Includes one flange for 1.5″ Schedule 40 pipe (approx 1.9″ OD) for accessory mounting.

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

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ CRITICAL HEAVY LIFT WARNING:

• Weight Hazard: This unit weighs 249 lbs (113 kg). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT ALONE.
• Handling Requirement: Movement of this plate requires a multi-person team lift or the use of a base plate cart/forklift to prevent serious injury.
• Usage: While this plate offers maximum stability, outdoor structures exposed to wind must always be reviewed by an engineer for total ballast requirements.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Inspect the plate for flatness and weld integrity before every use.
• Ensure all bolts (for plated truss) or half-couplers (for conical truss) are fully tightened.
• 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.
