Stage and Truss Roof Systems for Events

A stage and truss system is a modular framework used in live events, concerts, theaters, and exhibitions to support lighting, sound, video, and scenic elements. Here's a breakdown of its components and uses:

Specification:

1. Stage 

• The stage is the performance area, which can be:

• Portable stages (modular, adjustable height)

• Fixed stages (permanent installations)

• In-the-round stages (audience on all sides)

• 9.76x9.76m in size
  

2. Truss

The truss is an aluminum framework that provides structural support for:

• Lighting fixtures (moving heads, PAR cans, LED panels)

• Audio equipment (speakers, line arrays)

• Video screens & projectors

• Rigging (suspending scenery, banners, or performers)

3. Types of Truss:

• Box Truss (square-shaped, high load capacity)

• Ladder Truss (lightweight, used for lighting)

• Triangle Truss (rigid, good for overhead rigging)

• Circular Truss (used for curved or circular designs)

4. How to build a stage truss? 

• Overhead Truss (Lighting rig above the stage)

• Goalpost Truss (Two vertical trusses with a horizontal crossbeam)

• Box Truss Tower (Used for side LED walls or speaker arrays)

• Ground-Supported Truss (No need for rigging points, stands on bases)

5. Safety Considerations

• Weight Load Limits (check manufacturer specs)

• Proper Bracing & Anchoring (wind load for outdoor events)

• Certified Rigging (only trained professionals should rig heavy equipment)

• Fall Protection (safety harnesses for workers at height)

6. Applications

• Concerts & Music Festivals

• Corporate Events & Trade Shows

• Theater Productions

• Broadcast & Film Sets

• Exhibitions & Installations
