Concert Equipment Rental Advice on Stage Trusses
A stage truss is equipment that will support screens, lighting, and other equipment. They can be installed permanently, like a theatre with truss work systems which are suspended from the ceiling or some are portable. Stage trusses are used in various different settings, ranging from public parks to opera houses and are constructed by numerous different companies, some of which can fabricate custom built trusses for specific purposes.
Traditionally, stage trusses take on the shape of a box truss, it can be bolted or welded on to other trusses, thus creating a stand, or it could be suspended from rigging within a building that is used solely for performances. Its structural elements could also be used as attachment points, and lighting instruments, pulleys, scenery, special effects, monitors and screens can be hung from it. Stage trusses provide support for wiring and cabling that will be used in a performance, ranging from wiring for individual lights to microphone cords.
Also referred to as lighting racks, stage trusses can sometimes be seen in performance. People attending concerts outdoors will have regularly seen stage trusses above or alongside a stage, and the design of interior venues could also allow people to see trusses. These are installed with safety precautions in order to reduce the chances of injury due to falling or incorrectly secured trusses. Because stage trusses need to carry a good deal of weight, safety is paramount when installation occurs.
Portable truss systems are found in most concert equipment rental services. A portable one can be used for lighting in outdoor parties, supporting tents for a garden weddings or providing support for a booth in a trade show. Companies that specialize in events will have numerous portable trusses in stock, and they generally install them on site. Every truss has its own load rating, this should be noted before anything is hung on them.
