Product Description
The DragonStage 12x12m Aluminum Square Truss System is designed for temporary events that require a substantial overhead lighting-truss framework supported by manual crank stands.
The nominal system dimensions are:
12m × 12m / 40ft × 40ft
The system uses four steel crank stands positioned to support the truss arrangement. Each stand is listed with a nominal 6.5m size and a 250kg individual capacity.
Unlike a conventional fixed-height truss structure, the crank stand arrangement allows the truss assembly to be raised or lowered using manual lifting equipment, subject to the approved lifting procedure and equipment configuration.
This product is a lighting-truss framework, not a roof-covered stage system. A roof covering or stage deck is not specified in the current product description.
For related lifting equipment, explore Typical Crank Stands.
Four Heavy-Duty Manual Crank Stands
The current product configuration lists:
4 pcs × 6.5m Steel Crank Stands
Published Individual Capacity: 250kg per stand
These stands provide the lifting positions for the truss system.
For event companies, the main practical benefit is that the lighting framework can be assembled and handled as a reusable temporary structure rather than being installed as a permanently fixed overhead frame.
However, the listed 250kg capacity applies to the individual stand specification. It must not be interpreted as confirmation that the complete four-stand truss system can safely support a combined 1,000kg suspended load.
The allowable complete-system load depends on the truss arrangement, connections, load positions, lifting operation, stand manufacturer requirements, and site conditions.

300×300mm Bolt Truss Configuration
The current product description lists the following bolt truss components:
| Component | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 300×300mm Bolt Truss, 3m Long | 16 pcs |
| Sections with Additional Connecting Faces | 4 of the 16 pcs |
Sixteen 3m sections provide a total nominal straight-truss length of 48m, corresponding to the combined perimeter of a 12×12m square before connection geometry is considered.
The four sections with additional connecting faces should be identified in the final assembly drawing to establish their exact positions and functions.
Customers considering this system can browse related Standard Bolt Truss products.
290mm Spigot Truss Components
The old product description also lists:
| Component | Quantity |
|---|---|
| F34-Type 290mm Spigot Truss, 3m Long | 24 pcs |
| Connection Corner Cubes | 4 pcs |
The listed spigot truss quantity totals 72m of nominal straight sections, which is greater than the 48m perimeter of a single 12×12m square.
Therefore, this component list should not be assumed to describe only one simple square perimeter.
The final drawing and bill of materials must confirm the intended arrangement of these sections, the corner connections, and any additional structural members.
For individual sections and related components, see Standard Spigot Truss.
Designed for Temporary Event Lighting
A square truss framework can provide mounting positions around an event area.
Typical applications to consider include:
Indoor entertainment events
Corporate events
Exhibition lighting layouts
DJ productions
Temporary lighting installations
Event halls
Concert and performance lighting arrangements
The final lighting configuration depends on the number of fixtures, individual fixture weights, mounting locations, cable arrangements, and permissible loads.
The 12×12m format provides a recognizable square geometry for event design, but the suitability of the complete assembly must be established for the actual project.
Why Use Crank Stands Instead of Fixed Truss Towers?
A fixed truss tower and a manual crank stand serve different installation workflows.
With a fixed support structure, the final operating height is generally established by the structural components assembled.
A crank stand offers a mechanical means of raising or lowering the supported equipment within its designed operating range.
This can be useful for event companies that frequently assemble, dismantle, and transport temporary lighting systems.
The lifting procedure, synchronization of multiple stands, truss support interfaces, and any required secondary securing arrangements must be confirmed before operation.
Modular Truss for Repeated Event Use
The system is based on separate truss sections, lifting stands, and connection components.
For rental companies, modular construction can offer practical advantages:
Separate transport of individual components
Warehouse storage of repeatable truss sections
Replacement of individual damaged components
Reuse of compatible sections in other configurations
Adjustment of the event layout when properly reconfigured
The actual compatibility of components must be checked by connection type, tube geometry, section dimensions, and the complete assembly requirements.
Important Product Note
The published product listing confirms the following component specifications:
Four 6.5m steel crank stands
Published stand capacity of 250kg per stand
Sixteen 3m sections of 300×300mm bolt truss, including four sections with additional connecting faces
Twenty-four 3m sections of F34-type 290mm spigot truss
Four corner cubes
The information does not establish whether both truss component sets are supplied together or represent different package choices.
It also does not establish a verified complete-system allowable load, final operating height, stand stability requirements, wind resistance, ballast, anchoring, or engineering approval.
These requirements must be confirmed for the actual lifting equipment, truss layout, attached loads, and installation conditions.
FAQ
What is the size of this truss system?
The nominal framework size is 12×12m, commonly described as 40×40ft. The imperial designation is rounded rather than an exact conversion.
How many crank stands are included in the published configuration?
The old product listing specifies four steel manual crank stands.
What is the size of each crank stand?
The listed stand size is 6.5m, approximately 21.3ft. The actual approved lifting height and operating range should be confirmed for the selected stand model.
What is the load capacity of the crank stands?
The current listing states 250kg per stand. This is an individual stand specification and does not determine the allowable load of the entire truss system.
Does this product use bolt truss or spigot truss?
The published page lists both a 300mm bolt truss component set and a 290mm spigot truss component set. The intended package and final assembly must be confirmed before ordering.
What is included in the 300mm bolt truss list?
The current component list specifies sixteen 3m sections, including four sections with additional connecting faces.
Why does the spigot truss list contain 24 sections?
The published spigot truss component list includes twenty-four 3m sections and four corner cubes. Their exact arrangement is not explained in the old page, so the complete layout should be confirmed by a drawing.
Does this truss system include a roof covering?
No roof covering is specified in the current product description. It should be treated as an open lighting-truss framework unless a different roof configuration is separately confirmed.
Can the system be used outdoors?
Outdoor suitability cannot be established from the component list alone. Wind exposure, ground conditions, stand stability, anchoring, suspended loads, and the complete configuration must be evaluated before outdoor use.
Can stage lights be suspended from this system?
The system is marketed for event-lighting applications. Actual lighting fixtures and hanging positions require verification against the complete truss and lifting configuration.
Can DragonStage customize the dimensions?
Different truss layouts and component combinations can be discussed. Changes to dimensions, connection type, lifting equipment, or loading require a revised configuration and verification.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the required truss dimensions, preferred truss type, lighting fixture details, total attached equipment weights, intended operating height, indoor or outdoor location, and required quantity.
