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.

Product Overview

A Black 12x12 Truss Base Plate with Integrated 60 mm Elevation.

The EVT290S-BBP60 combines a matte black 12x12 aluminum base plate with four fixed female spacers, creating elevated truss connection points without stacking separate spacer components at the base.

Four 60 mm Female Spacers

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

Matte Black Finish

Creates a low-visibility appearance for stage, studio, broadcast, and exhibit applications.

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

Lead time and availability should be confirmed before the product is committed to a project schedule.

Applications

Designed for Elevated Black Truss Columns and Specialized Floor Mounting.

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 undesirable.

Trade Show Displays

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

Lighting Totems

Can support compatible upright truss columns when ballast and engineering requirements are satisfied.

Custom Floor Mounting

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

Who It Is For

Built for Studio, Exhibit, Lighting, Rental, and Production Teams.

Studio Crews

For low-reflection support structures in broadcast and production environments.

Exhibit Builders

For elevated black truss columns, signage, booth structures, and branded displays.

Lighting Technicians

For compact black lighting totems requiring a fixed raised connection.

Rental Companies

For specialized black base-plate inventory used on projects with planned lead times.

Production Teams

For approved temporary structures assembled by trained truss personnel.

Functional Details

Integrated Spacers with a Durable Matte Black Finish.

Four Threaded Spacers

Each 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.

Conical Connection Hardware

Uses compatible couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips for the intended truss interface.

Matte Black Powder Coat

Provides a professional, low-reflection appearance for stage and studio use.

System Compatibility

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

EVT290S-BBP60 uses 290 mm square truss geometry and a matching conical connection system. Compatibility requires matching receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, and engineering data.

EVT290S Compatibility

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

F34 Compatibility

Compatible with matching F34 290 mm square truss geometry and conical hardware.

Standard 290 mm Square Systems

Verify receiver spacing, connection geometry, and engineering data before combining systems.

Conical Hardware Compatibility

Use matching couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips approved for the connected truss system.

Installation Planning

Assembly Requirements for an Elevated Black Truss Connection.

01 — Inspect the Plate and Spacers

Confirm the plate is flat and all four spacers are secure, aligned, and undamaged.

02 — Verify Compatibility

Confirm receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, truss geometry, and engineering data.

03 — Install Conical Hardware

Seat the couplers and secure all tapered pins and R-clips completely.

04 — Position the Truss

Align the compatible truss section with the four elevated connection points.

05 — Stabilize the Structure

Add ballast, anchoring, outriggers, or engineered support according to the final design.

06 — Final Inspection

Check alignment, hardware engagement, spacer security, stability, and installed loads before use.

Safety and Stability

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

At approximately 10 lb, this aluminum plate does not provide sufficient ballast for many freestanding structures by itself.

Inspect all four spacers, threaded connections, couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips before every use.

Do not rely on the 60 mm spacers as a substitute for engineered structural support.

Use appropriate ballast, anchoring, outriggers, or engineered support for the final structure.

Do not support loads directly from truss connection points.

Account for dynamic, transverse, and environmental forces, including wind loads.

Assembly should be completed by trained truss personnel and reviewed by a licensed professional engineer where required.
