Large automotive exhibitions often require overhead aluminum truss systems to support lighting, banners, LED screens, and branding elements. To maximize floor space while providing excellent structural stability, these truss systems are frequently supported by steel towers with counterweight bases instead of traditional ground-supported trusses.
This guide explains the typical installation procedure for an exhibition truss system using steel pillars and aluminum trusses.
intall the steel top section to the steel pillar


insert the sleeve block

amount the steel pillar onto the counterweight base

amount the aluminum truss and lightings

hoist the truss system


Begin by installing the steel top section onto the steel pillar.
The top section serves as the connection point between the lifting mechanism and the aluminum truss.
Before proceeding, verify that all connection bolts and locking devices are securely fastened.
Position the steel top section accurately on the tower and complete the mechanical connections.
Check:
vertical alignment
bolt torque
locking devices
connection stability
Proper alignment is essential for safe lifting during later installation stages.
Insert the sleeve block onto the steel tower.
The sleeve block acts as the moving connection between the tower and the truss, allowing the entire truss system to be lifted safely using chain hoists or lifting equipment.
Ensure that the sleeve moves freely before lifting.
The counterweight base provides the primary stability for the steel tower.
Install the base according to the engineering drawings and ensure that all structural members are fully secured before adding ballast.
Carefully position the steel pillar onto the assembled counterweight base.
Verify:
verticality
connection security
base stability
Only continue after confirming that the tower is correctly installed.
Assemble the aluminum truss on the ground whenever possible.
Install lighting fixtures, cables, and other equipment before lifting to reduce work at height.
Confirm that:
truss connections are fully secured
lighting fixtures are properly clamped
safety cables are installed
cables are neatly managed
Join all truss sections according to the structural design.
Inspect every connection point before lifting.
If multiple towers are used, verify that the truss is level across all supports.
Using the lifting equipment installed on the steel towers, raise the truss slowly and evenly.
During lifting:
monitor all towers simultaneously
maintain level lifting
stop immediately if abnormal movement occurs
never allow personnel beneath suspended loads
Continue lifting until the required operating height is reached.
Before opening the exhibition, perform a complete inspection of the entire structure.
Check:
truss connections
tower stability
counterweight placement
lifting equipment
lighting fixtures
electrical cables
safety devices
Only after all inspections have been completed should the structure be placed into service.
Steel tower-supported truss systems are commonly used for:
automobile exhibitions
trade shows
convention centers
product launches
exhibition booths
indoor promotional events
Their modular design allows rapid installation while providing excellent load capacity and unobstructed exhibition space.
Steel tower-supported aluminum truss systems provide an efficient solution for modern exhibition environments.
By following a systematic installation process—from assembling the steel towers and counterweight bases to lifting the completed truss structure—event contractors can ensure safe installation, efficient construction, and reliable structural performance throughout the exhibition.
