EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
3.0 m Brushed Aluminum F34 Square Truss Straight Section.
For Stage, Rigging, and Brand Activation Systems.
The EVT290S-300 is a brushed-aluminum 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 stage layout, rigging plan, F34 square truss build, brand activation, live-event production, or other compatible planned truss system calls for a 3.0 m straight run.
Identity and Core Facts
Straight Section Overview
3.0 m F34 Square Truss for Stage, Rigging, and Live Event Infrastructure.
The EVT290S-300 is a 3.0 m / 9.84 ft straight member for compatible 290 mm F34 square truss systems. It supports controlled spacing in planned stage structures, rigging layouts, lighting grids, performance-production systems, branded event environments, sponsor activations, and other compatible modular builds.
Stage, Rigging & F34 Square Truss
Modular Frameworks for Stage Production and Compatible Rigging Systems.
Use the EVT290S-300 as one component within a compatible, project-specific stage or rigging truss system. Its 9.84 ft length can support planned spacing in stage lighting grids, scenic structures, performance-production layouts, concert infrastructure, video and backdrop frames, and other compatible F34 square truss systems.
Brand Activations
Support Planned Frameworks for Experiential Marketing and Branded Events.
The EVT290S-300 can be incorporated into compatible, project-specific structures for brand activations, experiential marketing, sponsorship displays, product launches, retail pop-ups, corporate events, interactive demonstrations, and live promotional environments.
Applications
A 3.0 m Member for Stage, Rigging, and Brand Activation Systems.
Use the EVT290S-300 wherever a compatible 290 mm F34 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 F34 Square Truss with Conical Coupler Connections.
The EVT290S-300 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, brushed-aluminum finish, and conical end connections.
Included Connection Hardware
What Ships with the EVT290S-300.
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 stage, rigging, or brand-activation structure may also require longer sections, corners, base plates, clamps, rigging hardware, ballast, and other project-specific items.

System Compatibility
Match the F34 Square Truss Profile and Connection Before You Build.
The EVT290S-300 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 stage, rigging, F34 square truss, or brand-activation 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 stage, a rigging framework, an F34 square truss structure, a brand activation, 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, lighting, video, scenery, signage, graphics, displays, event equipment, and venue requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-300 Questions.
Why choose a 9.84 ft / 3.0 m F34 square truss section?
Choose this section when a compatible 290 mm F34 square truss design calls for a 3.0 m member. It provides controlled spacing for stage systems, rigging frameworks, lighting grids, brand activations, and compatible modular event structures.
Can this section be used for stage, rigging, and brand activations?
It may be used as one component of a compatible completed system for approved staging, rigging, live event, and brand-activation environments. Those end-use references do not mean the individual section is certified or rated for a specialized stage, rigging plan, public-facing installation, or suspended structure.
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 stage, rigging system, F34 square truss assembly, brand activation, or mixed-component structure. A licensed structural engineer must review every truss system before use.
What conical connection hardware is included?
Each EVT290S-300 section includes 4 conical couplers, 8 coupler pins, and 8 r-clips for compatible conical connections.
