Company Overview

Global Truss America is one of the most recognized names in the event staging industry, providing highly modular, TÜV SÜD certified aluminum truss systems for live events, trade shows, and architectural installations. Based in Los Angeles, they act as the massive distribution and engineering hub for the Americas, supplying everything from basic lighting totems to massive outdoor concert roof systems.

Their reputation is built on stringent quality control and universal compatibility. They utilize EN-AW 6082 T6 aluminum alloy, ensuring extreme load-bearing capabilities while remaining lightweight enough for rapid touring deployment.

Beyond standard square and triangular truss, Global Truss America manufactures a massive ecosystem of base plates, corner blocks, clamps, and motorized hoists, allowing production designers to build infinitely scalable, highly secure stage architectures.

Core Technologies

🛡️

TÜV SÜD Certification

Their truss systems undergo brutal third-party stress testing by TÜV SÜD, ensuring they meet the absolute highest global safety standards for overhead structural rigging.

🔗

Conical Coupling System

Unlike older bolt-together systems, they use a highly advanced conical coupling system (spigots and pins) that allows for incredibly fast, perfectly aligned, tool-less assembly on site.

🏗️

EN-AW 6082 T6 Alloy

They specifically utilize EN-AW 6082 T6 aluminum, an aerospace-grade alloy that provides maximum tensile strength and resistance to structural fatigue over years of touring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does F34 mean?

F34 is the industry-standard size. It refers to a square truss where the outer dimensions are 290mm (roughly 11.4 inches) across. It is the most universally used size for standard event rigging.

Do I need tools to assemble it?

Generally, no. The conical coupling system uses a solid metal spigot that slots into the tubes, secured by a pin and a specialized ‘R-Clip’ (cotter pin), requiring only a copper hammer to tap them securely into place.

Can I mix Global Truss with other brands?

While their F34 standard is highly compatible with brands like Prolyte or Milos, structural engineers strongly advise against mixing brands in a single load-bearing span, as varying alloys and exact tolerances can cause catastrophic failure points.
