Truss Base Plate & Stabilizers:
Truss base plate and outriggers with stabilizers. The base plate provides a broad, stable foundation for a vertical truss section, often used to create a "truss totem" to support lighting fixtures or screens. The outriggers extend from the base to increase the footprint, and the adjustable feet (stabilizers) allow for leveling on uneven surfaces, ensuring the structure is plumb and secure.
Sleeve Block & Top Pulley:
Sleeve block with a top pulley. The sleeve block is a key part of a "ground support" system. It's designed to slide vertically up and down a truss tower. A chain hoist, with its chain running through the top pulley, attaches to the sleeve block, allowing a horizontal truss grid (often called the "roof") to be raised and lowered safely. This system is crucial for building large, elevated structures for events.
Multi-Directional Corner Block:
Multi-directional corner block, also known as a truss cube or 6-way corner block. This highly versatile component is used to connect truss sections at various angles and in multiple directions. Unlike a standard 90-degree corner, this cube allows for the creation of complex, three-dimensional truss structures, such as booths, arches, and custom shapes.
Note:
Leveling: The adjustable feet (stabilizers) allow for precise leveling on uneven ground, which is critical for safety and the structural integrity of the rig.
Modularity: Designed to connect seamlessly to the base of standard truss sections.
Versatility: Can be used with various sizes of main truss and is crucial for creating ground-supported stage roofs, lighting grids, and LED walls.
Flexibility: It's an essential element for building custom shapes like arches, booths, and intricate stage designs that go beyond simple linear or 90-degree corner configurations.
Structural Integrity: Provides a strong, rigid connection point that maintains the overall stability and safety of the truss structure, especially at crucial intersections.
Efficiency: Simplifies the design process for complex rigs by providing a single, universal connector for multi-directional joints.
