This plywood stacking strip is suitable for professional environments where stage truss is repeatedly handled or stored, including:
Festival structures
Concert production
Outdoor event production
Stage equipment storage
Lighting truss storage
Event production warehouses
Truss transportation and loading
Rental company truss inventories
Repeated setup and dismantling operations
For festival and touring production companies, a dedicated stacking solution can be particularly useful when the same truss inventory is loaded, transported, unloaded, and stored repeatedly.
Why Use a Dedicated Truss Stacking Strip?
Stacking aluminum truss directly against another truss can create unnecessary contact points. A suitable plywood strip provides a separation layer between adjacent sections.
Make Storage More Organized
A dedicated stacking rail helps create a more consistent stacking arrangement, which can make warehouse and production-area organization easier.
Improve Handling Efficiency
When truss sections are stored in a consistent configuration, loading and unloading operations can become easier to repeat.
Help Protect the Truss Inventory
Reducing unnecessary contact during stacking can help minimize avoidable surface damage and wear over repeated handling cycles.
The original product information specifically positions the stacking strips as an investment for professional production environments because of their potential benefits in damage prevention, efficiency gains, and safety improvements.
Custom Stacking Rail Service
The standard product is optimized for 290mm stage truss, but the manufacturer also supports custom production for other lighting truss sizes.
If your truss does not match the standard 290mm profile, provide a section drawing of the truss.
The drawing can be used to determine the required profile and develop a custom-fit plywood stacking strip. The source product page specifically states that providing a section drawing is sufficient to initiate the design and fabrication of a custom-fit stacking strip.
For a custom stacking rail, provide:
Truss section drawing
Overall truss profile dimensions
Contact or support area where the strip will sit
Required strip length, if known
Intended stacking arrangement
Required quantity
If you do not have a formal CAD drawing, clear dimensional photos or measured sketches may help with the initial discussion, but the final design should be confirmed against the actual truss profile.
Required / Usually Needed
This product is an accessory for truss storage and handling rather than a complete truss system.
Depending on your application, you may also need:
Compatible stage or lighting truss
Appropriate transportation equipment
Storage or loading equipment
Additional stacking accessories for larger inventories
If you are selecting the truss itself, start with Truss & Rigging.
For additional truss-related components, visit Truss & Rigging Accessories.
Quantity Guide
The required quantity depends on:
Number of truss sections being stacked
Length and profile of the truss
Stacking configuration
Storage method
Transportation requirements
For a small inventory, calculate the number of strips needed based on the planned stacking arrangement.
For a larger rental or production inventory, it is better to determine the quantity from the actual storage and loading workflow rather than ordering solely according to the number of truss pieces.
If you provide the number of truss sections and your stacking arrangement, the required quantity can be evaluated before ordering.
Compatibility Check
Before ordering, confirm that your truss profile matches the intended stacking strip.
For the standard product:
Compatible truss size: 290mm stage truss.
If your truss is another size, do not assume that the standard strip will fit correctly. The manufacturer can produce custom stacking rails when you provide the truss section drawing.
Common Buying Mistakes
Buying a universal strip without checking the truss profile
A stacking strip needs to match the contact area of the truss. Similar-looking truss sections can have different profiles.
Assuming every 290mm truss has exactly the same profile
The nominal size is an important reference, but the actual section profile should still be confirmed when fit is critical.
For a custom product, provide a clear section drawing whenever possible. This gives the manufacturer the information needed to develop a profile-specific solution.
Confusing a stacking strip with a structural truss component
This product is a storage and handling accessory. It is not intended to replace truss connectors or structural components.
Estimating quantity only from truss length
The required quantity depends on the stacking arrangement and contact points, not simply the total length of truss in your inventory.
Storage & Handling Notes
Use the stacking strip as part of a stable and organized truss storage arrangement.
Before moving a stack:
Check that the truss sections are properly positioned.
Make sure the stack is stable.
Avoid unstable or excessive stacking.
Use suitable lifting and handling equipment where required.
Follow the applicable site and transportation safety procedures.
The stacking strip helps organize and separate truss sections, but it does not by itself determine the safe stacking height, transport method, or lifting capacity of a complete storage arrangement.
