What is a Circular Lighting Truss System?
A circular lighting truss system (round truss) is a curved aluminum structure designed to create ring-shaped lighting frameworks. It is commonly used for stage design, exhibition displays and ceiling-mounted lighting installations.
Product Overview
This aluminum circular truss system is designed for creative lighting and visual structure applications, offering both structural support and aesthetic impact.
Compared to standard straight truss, circular truss provides:
Explore system types:
Lighting Truss System
Exhibition Display Truss
Structural Configuration
Typical system includes:
curved truss segments (forming circle or arc)
connection plates or spigot joints
suspension or ground support system
optional lighting fixtures
The structure can be:
full circular ring
semi-circle
multi-ring combination
Why Use Circular Truss Instead of Straight Truss?

Engineering Insight
Circular Structure = Different Load Behavior
Unlike straight truss:
load is distributed along a curved path
connection points become critical
suspension points must be balanced

Hanging vs Ground Support
Circular truss can be:
Hanging system:
cleaner visual
requires rigging points
Ground support system:
more stable
easier installation

FAQ
What size circular truss should I choose?
Depends on venue size and lighting layout. Larger diameters require stronger truss sections.
Can circular truss be hung from ceiling?
Yes, but requires proper rigging and load calculation.
Is it customizable?
Yes, diameter, shape and structure can be fully customized.
What is the difference between circular and square truss?
Circular truss is mainly for design and visual layout, while square truss focuses on structural support.
