EVT290S Circular Truss Knowledge Center
EVT290S-C150 4.92-Foot Circular Square Truss.
A Two-Piece F34-Compatible Truss Circle for Compact Lighting, Display, Scenic, and Technical Installations.
The EVT290S-C150 is a complete circular aluminum truss assembly with a 1.5 m / 4.92 ft outside diameter. The circle is formed from two matching 180-degree arc sections, allowing it to be transported as separate components and joined on site into a continuous 360-degree structure. Its compact diameter makes it suitable for suspended lighting features, exhibit elements, scenic structures, branded installations, studio environments, and other applications where a circular structural form is preferred over a conventional rectangular truss layout.
Product Facts
Product Overview
A Compact 360-Degree Structural Form Built from Two Matching Arcs.
Unlike straight truss or individual corner sections, the EVT290S-C150 is designed around a completed circular geometry. Two 180-degree sections join to form a 1.5-meter-diameter ring, providing a symmetrical structural perimeter for lighting, scenic, display, and technical applications.
Common Applications
Circular Geometry Creates Different Design Possibilities Than Straight Truss.
The C150 is best understood as a structural shape rather than simply another truss length. A circular perimeter provides consistent radial positioning around a central point, making it useful for equipment, lighting, signage, scenic elements, and visual installations.
Who It’s For
For Projects Where the Shape of the Truss Is Part of the Design.
The EVT290S-C150 is intended for users who need a compact circular framework rather than a conventional linear span or rectangular perimeter.
Assembly Configuration
Two 180-Degree Arc Sections Form the Complete Circle.
The system is configured as two semicircular structural sections. The mating ends are connected using compatible conical hardware to close the ring and establish the final circular geometry.
Inspect and secure every chord connection at both interfaces before lifting or loading the completed circle. The ring should not be treated as fully assembled until all required connection hardware is installed and retained.

System Compatibility
Designed Around EVT290S and F34-Compatible Connection Geometry.
The C150 follows the connection architecture associated with compatible EVT290S and F34-style square truss. When integrating the circle with additional structural components, confirm chord spacing, receiver dimensions, connector geometry, and engineering requirements for the actual system being used.
Matching F34-type geometry may allow components to connect mechanically, but the allowable capacity of the completed installation depends on the specific truss, support arrangement, connection condition, and engineering data.
Assembly Overview
Join the Two Semicircular Sections Before Rigging the Completed Ring.
The two-piece design simplifies transportation, but both arc sections must be correctly aligned before the ring functions as the intended circular assembly. The most important assembly consideration is maintaining alignment across all four chords at each semicircle connection.
Safety & Engineering
A Circular Truss Has Different Load Behavior Than a Straight Span.
The structural performance of the EVT290S-C150 depends on how the completed ring is supported and loaded. A circle suspended from multiple points behaves differently from a ring supported from one or two locations, and equipment placed around the circumference can produce non-uniform load conditions.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EVT290S-C150 a complete circle or a single arc?
The complete C150 circle is configured from two matching 180-degree arc sections. When connected, the two sections form a full 360-degree ring.
What is the actual size of the completed circle?
The completed structure has a listed outside diameter of 1.5 m / 4.92 ft and an inside diameter of 0.92 m / 3.02 ft.
Why use a truss circle instead of multiple angled corners?
A purpose-built circular truss produces a continuous curved perimeter rather than approximating a circle with multiple straight sections and corner nodes. This can provide cleaner visual geometry and more consistent radial equipment placement.
Can lighting fixtures and equipment be mounted around the circle?
Yes, when compatible mounting hardware is used and the fixture positions, support points, and total loading are within the requirements of the engineered structure.
Can straight-truss load tables be used for this circle?
They should not automatically be treated as equivalent. Circular structures have different geometry and support conditions, so allowable loading should be evaluated using data applicable to the actual ring configuration.
