Engineering Reference
Load-Span Reference for Completed Truss Runs.
All truss loading calculations are based on a completed compatible 290 mm square-truss run supported or suspended at both ends: static loading only; loads applied at approved truss panel points; truss self-weight included in the listed capacities; spans may consist of different truss lengths; and bending-moment and shear interaction at truss connections is considered. Values are limited by strength and reduced per ANSI E1.21.

Table assumptions: The reference evaluates unbraced truss configured as a simply supported beam. The primary analyzed spans were 2 m, 4 m, 6 m, 8 m, 10 m, and 12 m; intervening published values are interpolated. 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 & Engineering
Load Capacity Depends on The Complete Structure.
Allowable loading depends on span, orientation, support conditions, connection details, load placement, bracing, geometry, and the complete engineered configuration.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a 2.0 m section?
It provides an exact intermediate length for achieving specific overall dimensions and spacing in modular layouts.
Is connection hardware included?
Yes. Four conical couplers, eight tapered pins, and eight R-clips are included.
Is it compatible with F34 truss?
It uses standard 290 mm square conical geometry. Verify exact connector dimensions and engineering data before mixing brands.
What clamps fit the main chords?
Compatible clamps designed for standard 50 mm truss tubing.
Can it be used outdoors?
Outdoor use depends on the complete engineered structure, support conditions, ballast or anchorage, and environmental loading.
