what are Aluminum Truss?
May 21, 2025
ALUMINUM TRUSS (truss) structures play an important role in the entertainment industry for applications such as suspension, support and installation audio. This structural unit usually consists of welded aluminum tubes and is used to construct temporary overhead structures.
The development of TRUSS dates back to the late 1970s, when the entertainment industry needed a solution to build temporary structures. Engineers use the concept of spatial grids as the basis for TRUSS design, which is also widely used in bridges and factories.
In addition to loading capacity, other practical factors also played an equally important role in the development of the TRUSS system as we know it today. These factors may include aspects such as structural stability, safety, ease of installation and removal, etc. Therefore, the design of the TRUSS system needs to consider these factors comprehensively to meet the needs of different scenarios, including concerts, performances, exhibitions and other events and venues.
Aluminum Truss is a lightweight, strong metal frame structure that is widely used in the fields of stage, exhibition, event and retail to support and suspend equipment, lighting, etc. It is composed of connected aluminum alloy pipe fittings, which are connected by plugging or bolting to form a triangular or trapezoidal structure.
The main uses of Aluminum Trusses:
Supporting and hanging equipment: used in stages, exhibitions, activities and other places to support lighting, sound equipment, etc.
Build temporary structures: You can set up temporary stages, booths, tents, etc.
Roof structures: Roof structures can be built in various shapes, such as vaulted roofs or flat roofs.
Features of Aluminum Alloy Truss:
Lightweight: Compared to steel trusses, aluminum alloy trusses are lighter in weight and easier to transport and install.
Strong: Aluminum alloy has good tensile and flexural strength, which ensures the stability and safety of the truss
Easy to install and disassemble: The trusses are plugged or bolted for easy assembly and disassembly
Aesthetics: The aluminum alloy has a metallic luster, which can be surface treated according to the needs to make the truss more beautiful.
Corrosion resistance: Aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance and can be used in various harsh environments.
