What is the functional advantage of the integrated 60mm spacers on this truss base plate?

The integrated 60mm (2.36 in) spacers on this base plate offer unmatched flexibility for height adjustments and custom configurations. This unique design provides modular layout flexibility, serving as a reliable foundational piece for both permanent studio installs and portable touring rigs where slight elevation is needed.

Does the matte black powder coat scratch easily during tear-down and transport?

The EVT290S-BBP60 utilizes a heavy-duty, baked-on powder coat finish engineered to withstand rigorous event production environments. However, to maintain its stealth, non-reflective appearance over time, we strongly recommend storing the base plates in padded transport bags or road cases.

Fixed Elevation and Low-Reflection Finish for Purpose-Built Truss Layouts.

The EVT290S-BBP60 is a 12 x 12 in / 304.8 x 304.8 mm matte-black aluminum truss base or top plate with four threaded and bolted female spacers. The integrated spacers create a fixed 60 mm / 2.36 in elevated connection point, with a documented overall height of approximately 66.3 mm / 2.61 in. The plate is made from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, has a 6.35 mm / 0.25 in plate thickness, and weighs 10 lb / 4.53 kg. Its matte black powder-coat finish supports visual continuity in black truss, stage, studio, broadcast, exhibit, and other low-reflection layouts. It is intended for compatible elevated truss connections as part of a complete, approved support plan. Compatible conical connection hardware is not included.

Product Overview

A Black 12 x 12 Truss Base Plate with Integrated 60 mm Elevation.

The EVT290S-BBP60 combines a matte-black 12 x 12 in aluminum base plate with four fixed female spacers, creating elevated truss connection points without stacking separate spacer components at the base. The 60 mm / 2.36 in offset can provide clearance beneath a compatible truss connection for cabling or specialized floor-mounting arrangements, while the matte black finish supports low-reflection black-truss layouts. It is a positioning and connection component, not a stand-alone stability or load-capacity solution.

Four 60 mm Female Spacers

Provides a fixed 2.36 in vertical offset for compatible square-truss connections.

Matte Black Finish

Supports a low-reflection appearance in black truss, stage, studio, broadcast, and exhibit layouts.

Bottom or Top Plate Use

Can be used at the bottom or top of a compatible truss section as the approved layout requires.

Special Order Product

Confirm lead time and availability before committing the product to a project schedule.

Applications

Designed for Elevated Black Truss Columns and Specialized Floor Mounting.

Use the EVT290S-BBP60 where a complete design requires a fixed 60 mm raised truss connection and a matte-black appearance. Typical applications include compatible cable-clearance arrangements, studio and broadcast sets, black-truss trade-show displays, lighting totems, floral or decorative structures, and custom floor mounting where a repeatable truss offset is beneficial. The completed configuration still requires the appropriate ballast, anchoring, bracing, barriers, and engineering review for its actual height, load, center of gravity, support surface, and environmental conditions.

Cable Clearance

Provides space beneath the truss connection for compatible cabling and floor-routing requirements.

Studio and Broadcast Sets

Supports low-visibility truss starts where reflective aluminum is visually undesirable.

Trade Show Displays

Creates a fixed raised connection point for black-truss booths, totems, and branded displays.

Custom Floor Mounting

Useful where a precise 60 mm offset and matte-black finish are required at the truss base or top connection.

Functional Details

Integrated Spacers with a Low-Reflection Matte Black Finish.

The product combines a 12 x 12 in matte-black aluminum plate with four threaded and bolted female spacers. Its documented 60 mm spacer height creates a repeatable elevated connection point, while the full assembly reaches approximately 66.3 mm / 2.61 in overall height. The matte black powder coat is an appearance feature; it does not change structural requirements. The spacers provide a fixed offset, but do not increase approved load capacity, establish stability, or replace the support measures required for the completed structure. Conical connection hardware must be supplied separately.

Four Threaded Spacers

Each female spacer is threaded and bolted to the aluminum base plate.

60 mm Fixed Offset

Creates a repeatable 2.36 in elevated truss connection at the base or top.

6.35 mm Plate Thickness

The documented 0.25 in / 6.35 mm aluminum plate maintains a compact profile below the elevated connection.

Matte Black Powder Coat

Supports visual continuity in black truss and other low-reflection production environments.

System Compatibility

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

The EVT290S-BBP60 uses 290 mm square-truss geometry and a compatible conical connection system. It is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square-truss systems with matching receiver spacing and conical interface geometry. Confirm the actual truss receiver geometry, spacer alignment, full conical seating, and the required connection hardware before use.

EVT290S Compatibility

Integrates with compatible EVT290S straight sections and related 290 mm square-truss components.

F34 Compatibility

Compatible with matching F34 290 mm square-truss geometry and conical receiver interfaces when the actual connection fits correctly.

Standard 290 mm Square Systems

May fit compatible standard 290 mm square systems using matching conical receiver geometry. Verify the physical interface before combining separately sourced or mixed-brand components.

Hardware Required Separately

Obtain compatible couplers, tapered pins, and r-clips separately for the intended conical truss-to-plate connection.

Installation Planning

Assembly Requirements for an Elevated Black Truss Connection.

The plate and its integrated spacers are one component of the assembly. Before use, verify the support surface or mounting location, plate condition, spacer condition, compatible truss receiver geometry, separately sourced connection hardware, complete stability measures, and final inspection requirements for the assembled structure. Handle the matte black finish carefully during transport and installation to reduce cosmetic damage.

01 — Inspect the Plate and Spacers

Confirm the plate is flat and all four spacers are secure, aligned, and free from damage, deformation, or significant finish damage.

02 — Verify Compatibility

Confirm receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, truss geometry, spacer alignment, and engineering data for the completed configuration.

03 — Obtain Hardware

Obtain and inspect compatible couplers, tapered pins, and r-clips separately before assembly.

04 — Position the Truss

Align the compatible truss section with the four elevated connection points without forcing or misaligning the connection.

05 — Secure the Connection

Seat the compatible 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, spacer security, stability, and installed loads.

Safety and Stability

Integrated Spacers Do Not Replace Ballast, Anchoring, or Engineering.

The documented plate weight is 10 lb / 4.53 kg. The 60 mm spacers create a fixed elevated connection point; they do not independently establish safe height, load capacity, ballast, anchoring, wind suitability, or stability for a completed structure. Required support measures depend on truss height, center of gravity, attached equipment, lateral loading, support surface, public access, environmental exposure, and the complete site-specific configuration.

At 10 lb / 4.53 kg, this aluminum plate does not provide significant ballast by itself.

Do not rely on the 60 mm spacers or the plate alone to stabilize tall towers, 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.

Inspect the plate, all four spacers, separately supplied connection hardware, and connected truss before every use.

Do not support loads directly from truss connection points unless the complete configuration is designed and approved for the actual load arrangement.

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.
