EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
3.0 m Matte Black Square Truss Straight Section.
For Trade Show Booths, Trade Show Exhibits, and Trade Show Displays.
The EVT290S-300 Black is a matte-black 3.0 m / 9.84 ft straight section for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square truss systems. Use this longer standard-length member where a trade show booth, trade show exhibit, trade show display, convention display, branded activation, product-demo area, or other compatible planned truss layout calls for a 3.0 m straight run.
Identity and Core Facts
Straight Section Overview
3.0 m F34 Square Truss for Trade Show Booths and Display Systems.
The EVT290S-300 Black is a 3.0 m / 9.84 ft straight member for compatible 290 mm square truss systems. It supports controlled spacing in planned trade show booths, trade show exhibits, trade show displays, convention displays, branded activation structures, product-demo environments, retail pop-ups, and other compatible modular builds.
Trade Show Displays
Modular Frameworks for Trade Show Displays and Brand Environments.
Use the EVT290S-300 Black as one component within a compatible, project-specific trade show display system. Its 9.84 ft length can support planned spacing in branded display frames, overhead identity structures, product-demo areas, convention displays, lighting grids, video frameworks, and compatible modular exhibit environments.
Trade Show Booths & Exhibits
Support Planned Frameworks for Exhibits, Activations, and Product Launches.
The EVT290S-300 Black can be incorporated into compatible, project-specific structures for trade show booths, custom exhibits, convention-center displays, sponsor activations, retail pop-ups, product launches, experiential marketing environments, and corporate event programs.
Applications
A 3.0 m Member for Exhibit and Display Structures.
Use the EVT290S-300 Black wherever a compatible 290 mm square-truss build calls for a 3.0 m / 9.84 ft section. The completed structure determines required supports, rigging method, loads, accessories, anchorage, venue requirements, and project approvals.
Series Construction
290 mm Square Truss with Conical Coupler Connections.
The EVT290S-300 Black carries the core construction of the EVT290S series in a 3.0 m straight section: a 290 x 290 mm square profile, 50 mm main chords, 20 mm diagonal braces, EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum, matte-black powder coat, and conical end connections.
Included Connection Hardware
What Ships with the EVT290S-300 Black.
Each straight section ships with the connection hardware used to join it to compatible conical-receiver components. Confirm the project component schedule before assembly; a finished trade show booth, trade show exhibit, or display system may also require longer sections, corners, base plates, clamps, rigging hardware, ballast, and other project-specific items.

System Compatibility
Match the Truss Profile and Connection Before You Build.
The EVT290S-300 Black is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square truss systems using conical connections. Similar appearance alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm receiver spacing, coupler fit, chord spacing, alignment, and applicable system documentation before assembly.
Connection and Inspection
Confirm Fit First. Then Seat, Pin, and Retain.
Once receiver spacing and compatible hardware are confirmed, assemble the connection in this order. Prepare the current booth or exhibit drawing, compatible mating components, supplied connection hardware, and approved support or rigging plan. Assemble on a stable work surface with access to inspect every receiver and pin location.
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 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 trade show booth, a hanging-sign framework, a trade show display, a convention exhibit, a ground-support structure, a suspended configuration, or any other assembled truss system. Confirm the complete configuration, supports, connections, span, applied loads, attachment points, rigging, 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.
System Responsibility
Capacity Comes from the Completed Configuration.
This 9.84 ft / 3.0 m section does not establish an independent span or load rating for a finished structure. Determine capacity from the complete arrangement, including connected components, span, orientation, supports, attachment locations, rigging method, applied loads, graphics, signage, lighting, video, LED, display panels, product equipment, and venue requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-300 Black Questions.
Why choose a 9.84 ft / 3.0 m straight truss section?
Choose this section when a compatible 290 mm square-truss design calls for a 3.0 m member. It provides controlled spacing for trade show booths, trade show exhibits, trade show displays, branded environments, lighting grids, overhead identity structures, and compatible modular display systems.
Can this section be used for trade show booths and displays?
It may be used as one component of a compatible completed system for approved trade show booths, exhibits, convention displays, and brand activations. Those end-use references do not mean the individual section is certified or rated for a specialized exhibit, hanging-sign system, public-facing display, or suspended installation.
What does the load-span reference apply to?
It applies only to a completed compatible 290 mm square-truss run configured as a simply supported beam under the published assumptions. It does not independently rate this section, a trade show booth, hanging-sign frame, trade show display, convention exhibit, or mixed-component assembly. A licensed structural engineer must review every truss system before use.
What conical connection hardware is included?
Each EVT290S-300 Black section includes 4 conical couplers, 8 coupler pins, and 8 r-clips for compatible conical connections.
