Product Description

EVT290S-ABP16 16″ x 16″ Aluminum Truss Base Plate | Lightweight Support for EVT290S

The EVT290S-ABP16 Aluminum Base Plate is a precision-engineered foundation component designed specifically for EVT290S 290 mm square conical aluminum truss systems. Providing an expanded 16-inch footprint compared to standard 12-inch plates, it offers a more stable ground support solution for upright truss pillars, trade-show booths, retail displays, and lighting stands while remaining exceptionally lightweight.

Manufactured from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the ABP16 delivers structural reliability without the bulk of steel plates. It features a secure conical connection system using high-strength bolts and conical receivers, ensuring fast and repeatable assembly. All connections should be secured using Couplers, Pins, and R-clips to maintain full system safety and load continuity across your structure.

Finished in a clean brushed aluminum appearance, this 16-inch base plate integrates seamlessly into professional staging and AV environments. It is designed for use with EVT290S 290 mm square truss sections and is an ideal choice for portable exhibits and lighting grids that require a balanced mix of stability and ease of transport.

Key Features

• 16″ x 16″ Footprint: Enhanced ground support and stability for upright pillars and modular frames.
• 290 mm Square Truss Compatibility: Designed specifically for the EVT290S conical truss ecosystem.
• Lightweight 6061-T6 Construction: Professional-grade strength weighing only 6.0 lb (2.72 kg).
• Structural Stability: Wider footprint provides a more secure base for medium-height truss totems.
• Secure Conical Connection: Pre-drilled for conical receivers secured with Pins and R-clips.
• Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Build: High-grade alloy ensures a long professional service life in indoor and outdoor settings.
• Clean, Professional Appearance: Brushed aluminum finish matches standard EVT290S truss segments.
• Modular Mounting: Can be utilized at the base or top of truss sections for various configurations.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT290S-ABP16 is a critical structural node for technicians who need reliable ground support for 290 mm square truss builds without the weight penalty of heavy base plates.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Critical Stability Information: While the 16-inch footprint offers increased stability, this base plate is intended for ground support and is not a substitute for heavy ballast in high-leverage or outdoor applications. Always consult a qualified engineer to determine if additional weighting or outriggers are required for your specific build height and load.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Never exceed the rated load capacity of the truss system or base plate.
• No loads shall be supported directly from truss connection points.
• Inspect the base plate before every use; do not use if bent, cracked, or deformed.
• Handle components with care—avoid dropping, dragging, or improper stacking.
• Assembly and installation must be performed only by trained and qualified personnel.
• Ensure all Couplers, Pins, and R-clips are correctly installed and fully secured.
• Account for all applicable forces, including dynamic and transverse forces such as wind loads.
• Do not mix truss components from different manufacturers.
• All truss structures must be reviewed and approved by a licensed professional engineer.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning for Mixed-Brand Builds

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify all dimensions before integrating with other truss brands.
• Confirm conical connector type, node spacing, and system geometry.
• Mixing components without verification may compromise structural integrity and safety.
