EVT290A-H180R Right-Side Variable-Angle Truss Hinge.
For Tip-Up Tower Erection and Adjustable 290 mm Truss Connections.

The EVT290A-H180R is a right-side variable-angle hinge for 290 mm square conical truss systems. Its 88 mm body allows a truss tower to be assembled horizontally and pivoted upright using the tip-up method. It can also form adjustable angular connections from 0 through 180 degrees. The R designation identifies the right-side orientation; confirm the required left/right hinge pairing for the specific truss system before installation.

Product Overview

A Right-Side Hinge for Controlled Tower Pivoting and Adjustable Angles.

The H180R provides a hinged connection between compatible truss sections. In ground-support use, it supports the tip-up method: assemble the tower horizontally, then pivot it into its erected position under the approved lifting plan. Its hinge action is not equivalent to a rigid corner block; static use requires the hinge position to be secured and the complete support, bracing, and guying arrangement to be reviewed.

Right-Side Orientation

The R suffix identifies a right-side hinge. Confirm correct left/right pairing before assembly.

Tip-Up Tower Erection

Allows a compatible tower to be assembled horizontally and pivoted upright as part of an approved ground-support procedure.

Variable Angle

Forms adjustable truss connections from 0 through 180 degrees when the complete system is suitable.

Rigid Position Required

When used in a static structure, the selected hinge position must be secured and reviewed as part of the complete system.

Application Uses

Support Controlled Truss Erection and Custom Angular Connections.

The EVT290A-H180R is intended for compatible truss ground-support systems and angular connections requiring a right-side variable hinge. Final component selection, erection procedure, lifting plan, restraint, and system capacity require project-specific review.

Tip-Up Tower Erection

Connect a tower to its base-side truss connection so it can be pivoted from horizontal to vertical under an approved procedure.

Ground-Support Systems

Use in compatible ground-support systems where a hinged erection point is required.

Custom Angular Connections

Create adjustable truss connections within the 0 through 180 degree hinge range.

Left/Right Hinge Pairs

Pair with the matching left-side hinge where the approved system requires both orientations.

Orientation Matters

R Means Right. Confirm the Complete Hinge Pair Before Assembly.

The H180R is specifically configured as the right-side unit. It may be paired with a corresponding left-side hinge depending on the approved system. Do not substitute orientation based only on physical fit; confirm the required hinge placement and all connection details before erecting the system.

Included Hardware

One Right-Side Hinge and Two Complete Coupler-Pin Sets.

The EVT290A-H180R includes one right-side variable-angle hinge, 2 coupler-pins, and 2 r-clips. Each coupler-pin and r-clip set secures one truss-side connection of the hinge.

1 Right-Side Hinge

Variable-angle hinge body with 88 mm body length.

2 Coupler-Pins

One coupler-pin secures each truss-side hinge connection.

2 R-Clips

One r-clip retains each included coupler-pin.

Complete Hardware Set

Includes the two coupler-pin and r-clip sets needed for the hinge's two truss-side connections.

System Compatibility

EVT290S, F34, and Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Systems.

The H180R is designed for compatible EVT290I, EVT290T, EVT290S, and F34-format systems. Physical fit alone does not establish equivalent capacity or a safe erection procedure. Confirm receiver spacing, coupler details, hinge orientation, coupler-pins, r-clips, restraint, and the complete support plan before lifting.

Assembly and Erection

Confirm the Hinge Pair and Erection Plan Before Tower Movement.

01 — Confirm Orientation

Confirm the right-side H180R is the required component and identify any matching left-side hinge requirement.

02 — Inspect Hardware

Inspect the hinge pin, leaves, 2 coupler-pins, and 2 r-clips for wear, damage, or deformation.

03 — Install Connections

Install both included coupler-pins and their r-clips correctly and fully.

04 — Confirm Erection Plan

Confirm lifting method, restraint, bracing, guying, personnel, and exclusion controls before pivoting a tower.

05 — Secure Static Position

Once erected, secure the hinge position and confirm the complete static structure before loading.

Safety and Engineering

A Hinge Is Not a Rigid Corner Block. Secure the Final Position.

The H180R is load-bearing during the erection phase but behaves differently from a rigid corner block in a static structure. It does not independently establish a tower height, load rating, bracing plan, or support arrangement. A licensed professional engineer must review structures and uses involving this component.

Secure the hinge position when used in a static structure and confirm complete bracing and guying.

Inspect the hinge pin, leaves, coupler-pins, and r-clips before every use.

Ensure both included coupler-pins and r-clips are fully engaged before lifting or loading.

Do not exceed the capacity of the complete truss system.

Have the complete system reviewed by a licensed professional engineer.

Confirm Current Documentation Before Ordering or Installing

Confirm current manufacturer drawings, instructions, included hardware, left/right orientation, and system requirements before ordering or installing the EVT290A-H180R. Tower erection, ground-support systems, public-facing structures, suspended loads, and other load-bearing uses require project-specific review by qualified rigging and engineering personnel before use.

Product Questions

EVT290A-H180R Frequently Asked Questions.

What does the R in H180R mean?

The R identifies this as the right-side hinge orientation. Confirm whether the approved system also requires a corresponding left-side hinge.

What hardware is included?

It includes 1 hinge, 2 coupler-pins, and 2 r-clips — one coupler-pin and r-clip set for each truss-side hinge connection.

What is the hinge used for?

It supports tip-up tower erection in compatible ground-support systems and can form adjustable truss connections from 0 through 180 degrees.

Can the hinge stay in a static structure?

It can be used in a static structure only when its position is secured and the complete support, restraint, bracing, guying, and engineering requirements have been confirmed.
