What is an Aluminum Truss Base Plate?
An aluminum truss base plate is a structural component used at the bottom of truss systems to provide ground support, stability and load distribution. It is essential for ensuring safe installation of stage, lighting and event truss structures.
Product Overview
This product includes aluminum bolt-type base plates in multiple sizes (300mm to 800mm), designed to support different truss systems and load requirements.
It is commonly used in:

Structural Function (Critical Understanding)
Base plates are responsible for:
distributing vertical load to ground
increasing system stability
preventing tipping or sinking
providing connection interface for truss towers
Without proper base plates:
even strong truss systems become unsafe
How to Choose the Right Base Plate Size
1. Based on Truss Size
290mm / 300mm truss → 300–400mm plate
400mm truss → 500–600mm plate
heavy systems → 600–800mm plate
2. Based on Load & Height
Higher structures require:
larger base plate
better stability

FAQ
What size base plate should I use?
Depends on truss size, height and load. Larger systems require larger plates.
Can I use a small plate for heavy truss?
Not recommended — it reduces stability and increases safety risk.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, but additional support may be required for soft ground.
Is it compatible with all truss systems?
Mainly designed for bolt connection systems.
