Professional 26x4x8m Aluminum Runway Catwalk Portable Stage Truss System
1. Introduction: The Premier Solution for Fashion and Presentation Events
High-profile fashion shows, product launches, and major corporate presentations demand a structure that is both visually striking and structurally sound. The DragonStage 26x4x8m Aluminum Runway Catwalk Portable Stage Truss delivers an expansive 26-meter long catwalk supported by an 8-meter high truss structure, creating a dramatic and functional performance space.
This integrated system is the definitive choice for event producers and stage builders requiring a high-span, high-load aluminum runway truss for dynamic lighting, sound, and backdrop integration. It combines an extended modular stage platform with a heavy-duty truss framework, ensuring maximum visual impact and unwavering safety compliance.
2. Overcoming Long-Span and Integrated Design Challenges
Designing and deploying an extra-long catwalk stage truss presents significant engineering challenges, particularly concerning structural deflection, stability over a long span, and safe overhead rigging capacity. Standard truss systems often lack the required rigidity and strength for such dimensions, leading to unacceptable risk.
DragonStage addresses this with a specialized, heavy-duty truss configuration. The primary beam structure utilizes large-format CS680x1010 square truss with a main tube size of $50 \times 5.0$mm, providing superior strength and rigidity over the 26-meter length. This commitment to using specialized, high-spec components ensures exceptional performance where long-span runway truss structures are required, drastically minimizing sway and guaranteeing safety for performers and equipment (Source:https://www.dragontruss.com/Stage-Truss-System.html).
3. Key Features for Elevated Performance and Rigging Safety
The 26x4x8m portable stage truss system is built with professional-grade components designed for seamless assembly, heavy loading, and extended structural life.
Heavy-Duty Truss Rigging Infrastructure
The 8-meter vertical pillars are constructed from high-strength CS520x520 square truss, providing the necessary height and load support. The system includes four Large Sleeve Blocks (L) and Steel Bases (L), optimized for the scale of the structure. For rigging efficiency and safety, four 2-Ton Manual Hoists (BA05) are included, enabling precise and controlled lifting of the lighting and media elements required for a professional catwalk production. Additionally, 16 Long Outriggers ensure maximum ground stability, a critical requirement for tall, narrow structures.
Extra-Long Modular Stage Platform
The integrated runway surface features 52 pieces of 1x2m wooden topping stage decks, creating the 26x4m platform (104 square meters). The platform is supported by 70 stands with extendable tubes and adjustable bases, offering multiple height settings (0.4-0.8m, 0.8-1.2m, and 1.2-2m). This versatility allows the stage height to be perfectly matched to audience seating configurations or main stage levels, ensuring optimal viewing angles. The system also includes two sets of 7-step stage stairs for regulated access (Source:https://www.dragontruss.com/STAGE).
Optimized Transport and Durability
Despite its massive final structure size, the use of high-grade aluminum and modular components results in a total packing weight of 2350kg for the truss, minimizing transport overhead. The entire system is designed for repetitive assembly and disassembly, making this aluminum catwalk stage truss an invaluable, durable asset for rental companies specializing in large-scale event production (Source:https://www.lsionline.com– recognizing the industry need for durable, fast-assembly event structures).
4. Practical FAQ for Technical Directors and Contractors
