What is Aluminum Bolt Box Truss for Stage Lighting?
Aluminum bolt box truss is a modular structural system used to support stage lighting, LED screens and event equipment. It uses bolt connections instead of spigot pins, providing strong joint stability and cost-effective assembly for concert, exhibition and event setups.
Product Overview
This aluminum bolt box truss is designed for concert stage lighting systems and event structures, offering a balance between structural strength, cost efficiency and flexible configuration.
Compared with spigot truss, bolt truss is more suitable for:
budget-sensitive projects
semi-permanent installations
exhibition booth structures

Why Choose Bolt Box Truss?
1. Cost-Effective Structure
Bolt connection reduces manufacturing complexity and cost, making it ideal for projects where budget matters.
2. Strong Structural Stability
Bolted joints provide rigid connections, suitable for medium-load lighting systems and exhibition structures.
3. Flexible Modular Design
Compatible with standard truss sections, allowing easy integration into larger modular truss systems.

FAQ
Is bolt truss strong enough for concerts?
Yes, for small to medium concerts. For large-scale touring systems, spigot truss is more common.
What is the difference between bolt truss and spigot truss?
Bolt truss uses bolts for connection (lower cost), while spigot truss uses pin connectors (faster setup).
What size should I choose?
290mm or 300mm is the most common size for lighting truss systems.
