EVT290S-ABP16 16 x 16 Inch Aluminum Truss Base Plate.
A Wider Bottom or Top Plate for Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Columns.

The EVT290S-ABP16 is a 16 x 16 in / 406.4 x 406.4 mm brushed-aluminum base or top plate for compatible vertical 290 mm square truss columns. Its 4.75 mm / 0.187 in aluminum plate provides a wider footprint than a smaller base plate while remaining portable at 6 lb / 2.72 kg. The plate is intended for use only as part of a complete, approved support plan; its mass and footprint are not a ballast calculation or stand-alone stability rating for tall, freestanding, outdoor, wind-exposed, or otherwise demanding structures.

Product Overview

A Wider Plate for Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Columns.

The EVT290S-ABP16 provides a 16 x 16 in aluminum base or top plate for compatible vertical truss columns, portable displays, exhibit structures, and other reviewed assemblies. Its wider footprint provides more contact area than a smaller base plate while retaining a relatively lightweight 6 lb aluminum construction. Use it only as part of a complete, approved support plan.

Bottom or Top Plate
Use as a bottom or top plate for compatible vertical 290 mm square truss columns.
Expanded 16 x 16 Footprint
Provides more contact area than a smaller aluminum base plate for compatible structures and support plans.
Lightweight 6 lb Design
At 6 lb / 2.72 kg, the aluminum plate remains manageable for transport, setup, breakdown, and storage.
Conical Connection Interface
Uses a conical connection interface for one compatible 290 mm square truss-to-plate connection.

Applications

Designed for Displays, Totems, Booths, and Controlled Event Structures.

Use the EVT290S-ABP16 where a wider aluminum base or top plate is appropriate for the complete structure. Typical applications include compatible upright truss displays, booth elements, signage features, retail installations, corporate presentation environments, lighting columns, and exhibit structures that are separately stabilized as required.

Trade Show Totems
For compatible upright truss displays, signage elements, and exhibit accents designed around a complete support plan.
Retail Displays
For temporary merchandising, branded presentations, and interior display structures.
Lighting Columns
For compatible lighting-column layouts when the complete load, stability, ballast, anchoring, and engineering requirements are satisfied.
Top-Mount Applications
Use as a top plate where the approved system design requires a compatible mounting surface and verified load arrangement.

Functional Details

A Wider Plate with Portable Aluminum Construction.

The base plate combines a 16 x 16 in aluminum panel with a conical connection interface for one compatible truss section. The connection hardware supports the truss-to-plate connection but does not independently establish allowable height, loading, ballast, anchoring, wind suitability, or stability for the completed structure.

Conical Connection Layout
Provides the compatible conical interface for one 290 mm square truss-to-plate connection.
Expanded Contact Area
The 16 x 16 in footprint provides more contact area than a smaller base plate.
Low-Profile Plate
The documented 4.75 mm / 0.187 in plate thickness provides a compact profile for compatible bottom or top mounting use.
Brushed Aluminum Finish
The brushed aluminum surface coordinates with standard aluminum truss systems and finish-sensitive installations.

System Compatibility

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

The EVT290S-ABP16 uses 290 mm square truss geometry and a conical connection system. It fits compatible EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square truss systems with matching receiver spacing and conical interface geometry. Confirm the actual truss receiver geometry, full conical seating, and full installation of the required connection hardware before use.

EVT290S Compatibility
Connects to compatible EVT290S vertical truss sections and related 290 mm square components.
F34 Compatibility
Compatible with F34 290 mm square truss geometry and matching conical receiver interfaces when the actual connection fits correctly.
Standard 290 mm Square Systems
Fits compatible standard 290 mm square truss systems using matching conical receiver geometry. Verify the physical interface before combining separately sourced or mixed-brand components.
Connection Verification
Confirm actual receiver geometry, full conical seating, pin engagement, and retention before placing the completed structure into service.

Installation Planning

Assembly Requirements for Ground-Supported or Top-Mount Use.

The plate is one component of the assembly. Before use, verify the support surface or mounting location, plate condition, connection hardware, full truss seating, stability measures, and final inspection requirements for the completed structure.

01 — Inspect the Plate
Confirm the plate is flat and free from cracks, bends, deformation, or damaged connection points.
02 — Verify Compatibility
Confirm receiver spacing, conical interface geometry, and engineering data for the connected truss system.
03 — Verify Hardware
Confirm the factory-attached half couplers, included coupler pins, and included r-clips are serviceable before assembly.
04 — Position the Truss
Align the compatible truss section without forcing or misaligning the conical connection.
05 — Secure the Connection
Seat the truss fully and install all required connection hardware before applying load or placing the structure in service.
06 — Stabilize and Inspect
Add ballast, anchoring, outriggers, bracing, barriers, or engineered support as required, then inspect alignment, hardware engagement, stability, and installed loads.

Safety and Stability

A Larger Footprint Does Not Replace Ballast, Anchoring, or Engineering.

The documented plate weight is 6 lb / 2.72 kg. Its 16 x 16 in footprint provides more contact area than a smaller plate, but it does not independently establish safe height, load capacity, ballast, anchoring, wind suitability, or stability for a completed structure. The required support measures depend on the truss height, center of gravity, attached equipment, lateral loading, wind exposure, support surface, public access, and site conditions.

At 6 lb / 2.72 kg, this aluminum plate does not provide significant ballast by itself.
Do not rely on the plate alone to stabilize tall towers, arches, goal posts, outdoor structures, wind-exposed builds, or structures with lateral or eccentric loads.
Use appropriate ballast, anchoring, outriggers, bracing, barriers, or engineered support for the final structure.
Do not support loads directly from truss connection points unless the complete configuration is designed and approved for the actual load arrangement.
Inspect the plate, half couplers, coupler pins, r-clips, and connected truss before every use. Remove bent, cracked, deformed, or damaged components from service.
Account for dynamic, transverse, and environmental forces, including wind loads, in the complete structural plan.
Assembly should be completed by trained truss personnel and reviewed by a licensed professional engineer where required.

Evidence and Review

What This Page Confirms, and What the Installed Structure Must Still Establish.

This page confirms the documented product facts: 16 x 16 in plate size, 4.75 mm thickness, 6 lb weight, 6061-T6 aluminum construction, brushed finish, included truss connection hardware, and compatible 290 mm square truss context. It does not establish safe height, capacity, ballast, anchor design, wind suitability, attachment load, or stability for a specific completed structure.

Confirmed Product Facts
16 x 16 in aluminum plate, 4.75 mm / 0.187 in thickness, 6 lb / 2.72 kg weight, brushed aluminum finish, and conical connection interface.
Installation-Specific Facts
Truss height, load, center of gravity, floor or mounting condition, ballast, anchoring, bracing, wind exposure, accessory use, and public-access controls must be determined for the specific installation.
Evidence Worth Retaining
Keep the current drawing, component and hardware schedule, support-surface or anchor review, ballast plan, inspection record, photos, and required approval with the project file.
No Invented Capacity Claims
Do not claim that the plate is adequate for a particular tower, fixture load, wind condition, anchor arrangement, or venue unless supported by attributable technical data and required project review.
