If you are new to lighting truss systems, start with this overview:
→ What is Lighting Truss? (Ultimate Guide for Stage, LED & Event Systems)
Choosing the right lighting truss depends on load capacity, truss type, event size, and installation environment. For most events, a 290mm truss is suitable for small setups, while 400mm or larger truss systems are recommended for medium to large stages, especially when supporting LED screens or heavy lighting equipment.
Selecting a lighting truss is not just about size. It is a combination of structural safety, application needs, and system design. The most important that you should consult your engineer for design first.
The key factors include:
Load capacity (equipment weight)
Truss type (box, triangle, etc.)
Event scale and structure
Installation method (ground support or hanging)
Environment (indoor or outdoor)
Basic understanding:
→ What is lighting truss
The first and most important step is calculating the total load. if you do not know, you can discuss with us.
You must consider:
Lighting fixtures
LED screen weight
Audio systems
Cables and accessories
Dynamic loads (movement, wind)

Different truss types are used for different applications:
Box truss → heavy load, large events
Triangle truss → lightweight setups
Circular truss → design and visual structures
Ladder truss → simple lighting rigs

There are two main systems:
Safer for outdoor use
No ceiling dependency
Cleaner visual effect
Requires rigging points

| Scenario | Recommended Truss |
|---|---|
| Small indoor event | 290mm triangle truss |
| Medium event | 400mm box truss |
| Large concert | 400–520mm box truss |
| Outdoor event | Ground support + roof truss |
For most events, 400mm truss provides a good balance of strength and flexibility.
It is not recommended for heavy loads or large spans.
Yes, high-grade aluminum truss offers excellent strength and lightweight performance.
Choosing the right lighting truss is a combination of engineering understanding and practical experience. By considering load, type, size, and application, you can ensure both safety and efficiency for your event setup.
