Company Overview

XSF Truss (Xtreme Structures and Fabrication) is a premier American manufacturer of massive, highly specialized aluminum trussing and rigging hardware. Operating out of a massive fabrication facility in Texas, XSF is deeply respected for providing the ultra-heavy-duty infrastructure required by massive stadium tours, mega-churches, and permanent arena installations across the United States.

XSF is perhaps most famous globally for inventing and patenting the ‘Protective Truss’ design. Traditional truss has exposed diagonal webbing that constantly gets smashed and dented when crews throw it into semi-trucks, leading to catastrophic structural failure. XSF engineered a patented extrusion profile where the main chords extend slightly past the delicate webbing, meaning the truss can be dragged, dropped, and stacked without ever damaging the critical inner welds.

They are also a massive powerhouse for fully custom staging. If a massive touring act needs a custom, circular truss grid that moves, or a massive outdoor amphitheater needs a custom-angled LED wall rigging system, XSF’s elite team of structural engineers and certified welders design and fabricate the solution from scratch.

Core Technologies

🛡️

Patented Protective Truss

A revolutionary design where the outer aluminum chords physically guard the inner diagonal webbing. This drastically extends the lifespan of the truss, preventing the most common (and dangerous) form of touring damage.

🔩

Versa-Pin System

A highly advanced, heavy-duty pinning system designed to prevent the ‘slop’ and wiggle that occurs when building massive, 100-foot long spans of traditional truss, ensuring a perfectly straight, rigid line.

📐

Certified Custom Welding

XSF retains an army of AWS (American Welding Society) certified aluminum welders, ensuring that highly complex, custom-engineered stage pieces are flawless and pass strict municipal building codes.

Featured Solutions

Protective Box Truss

Their legendary, ultra-durable touring truss. Available in massive sizes (up to 30×30 inches), it is the backbone of massive stadium lighting grids and video wall supports.

Custom Circular Truss

Flawlessly rolled aluminum circles and arches. Used to create massive, sweeping architectural designs over dance floors or custom tracking rings for moving lights.

Heavy-Duty Ground Support

Massive structural towers (Totems) and lifting systems that allow touring crews to safely build and elevate a 50-ton roof structure without relying on the venue’s ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is damaged truss webbing dangerous?

The thin diagonal tubes (webbing) give the truss its incredible strength by distributing weight. If a crew drops a piece of truss and bends a diagonal tube, the structural integrity of the entire span is compromised and could collapse under heavy load.

What makes Protective Truss different?

Standard truss lays flat on its delicate webbing when stacked in a truck. XSF Protective Truss has special outer rails that stick out further than the webbing. When stacked, only the thick outer rails touch the ground, completely protecting the fragile interior.

Is XSF truss made in the USA?

Yes, XSF operates a massive, state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility in Texas, allowing them to rapidly prototype and deliver massive custom structures across North America.
