EVT290S System Knowledge Center
A 26.24-Foot Circular Truss.
An 8-Meter Structural Circle for Production, Capture, and Display Systems.
The EVT290S-C800 is a 26.24 ft / 8.0 m square aluminum truss circle built from eight 45-degree arc segments. Its 8.0 m outer diameter is suited to large-scale production, motion capture, automotive, drone, lighting, display, and architectural installations where a substantial circular structural form is required. It uses the EVT290S 290 mm square-truss profile with a brushed aluminum finish.
Product Facts
Product Overview
Eight Matching Arcs Form One Complete 8-Meter Circle.
The EVT290S-C800 creates a complete 8.0 m diameter circle using eight identical 45-degree arc segments and standard conical truss connections.
Common Applications
A Large Circular Perimeter for Production, Capture, Testing, and Display Systems.
The EVT290S-C800 provides a repeatable 8.0 m circular structural perimeter with distributed mounting positions around a common center. This geometry supports production environments as well as technical systems that require equipment, cameras, sensors, lighting, or displays to be positioned around a central subject, vehicle, aircraft, object, or performance area.
Who It’s For
For Teams Designing Large Circular Technical and Production Environments.
The EVT290S-C800 is intended for trained teams that need an 8.0 m circular truss perimeter for production, capture, simulation, display, testing, or rigging environments. Each use case requires an evaluation of the complete structure, mounting plan, support arrangement, and applied loads.
Included Components
A Complete Eight-Piece Circle with Hardware for Every Arc.
The system is configured as eight 45-degree arc segments. Each arc includes its own set of conical connection hardware for joining it to the adjoining sections.
Inspect and secure every active chord connection at every joint before lifting or loading the completed circle. Do not treat the ring as assembled until all required couplers, pins, and R-clips are installed and retained.

System Compatibility
Fits F34, EVT290S, and All Standard 290mm Square Truss Systems.
The EVT290S-C800 fits F34, EVT290S, and standard 290mm square truss systems using compatible conical connector geometry.
Assembly Overview
Build the Circle on a Flat Surface. Then Lift Using an Engineered Plan.
Lay out all eight segments in their final circular orientation before installing the conical hardware. Confirm this dimension matches your design requirements before beginning assembly.
Safety and Rigging
An 8-Meter Circle Requires a Carefully Calculated Rigging Plan.
Circular truss loads must be calculated differently than straight spans. Always consult the load table for this specific diameter. When rigging from a circle this large, hanging points must be evenly spaced to prevent warping the frame. An 8-meter circle requires a carefully calculated rigging plan with multiple pick points.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How large is the EVT290S-C800 circle?
The outer diameter is 26.24 ft / 8.0 m. The inside diameter is 22.70 ft / 6.92 m.
How many sections make the complete circle?
Eight 45-degree arc segments form the complete 360-degree circle.
How much does the complete circle weigh?
The documented complete assembly weight is 328 lb / 148.7 kg.
What hardware is included?
Each of the eight arc segments includes four conical couplers, eight coupler pins, and eight R-clips. The complete circle includes 32 couplers, 64 pins, and 64 R-clips in total.
What truss systems are compatible?
It fits F34, EVT290S, and standard 290mm square truss systems. It is compatible with 50 mm / 1.97 in clamps for mounting moving heads and fixtures.
Can the circle be suspended?
Yes, but an 8-meter circle requires a carefully calculated rigging plan with multiple, evenly spaced pick points to prevent warping the frame. The complete suspended configuration must be reviewed by a qualified rigger or structural engineer.
