Large aluminum trusses are often used for the construction of lighting stands. However, there are many types of lighting trusses. Today, ShengYixin will compare the similarities and differences between the good structure and herringbone structure of truss construction.
Similarities
FT Aluminium lighting trusses are made of aluminum alloy 6082, a high-strength industrial aluminum alloy, lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant.
The regular size of aluminum alloy truss is 300*300, 400*400, 400*600, etc. The average load capacity of 300*300 aluminum alloy truss is about 300kg and the safety span is 12m, the average load capacity of 400*400 is about 400kg and the safety span is 16m, the average load capacity of 400*600 is about 450-500kg and the safety span is 20m.
Before you choose the modeling, you need to decide what size and span of truss according to your needs, whether to hang lights, the number of lights, the weight of lights, etc. If you have questions about this, welcome to contact our FT customer service business for professional consultation.
Differences
So, what are the differences between Flat Roof Aluminium Truss and A shape Slop Roof lighting trusses?
Modeling differences
Flat lighting frame.
Also called the mouth-shaped structure, the basic structure consists of four columns and four beams; according to the number and location of hanging lights, you can choose to add a truss structure between the beams.
Slop structure aluminium lighting truss frame.
The name comes from because of its top herringbone shape. At the same time, a herringbone lighting rack can also be added to the top of the single-row rack.
Use Scenario Function Difference
Flat roof truss structure is suitable for more specific indoor or outdoor open-air places, for lighting and sound hanging. The bottom is generally built for stage use, often used for wedding ceremonies, events, performances, and other scenes.
Slop structure aluminium lighting truss frame can achieve the function of the tic-tac-toe, and because of its herringbone structure, you can install a tarp at the top to play the function of shade from the sun and rain and UV rays.
Compared with flat roof truss structure, the tilt angle of the slop truss system lighting frame structure is conducive to rain and snow sliding down to prevent piling up. The triangular structure also makes the overall structure more stable, the use of scenes more diverse, and the shape more beautiful.
Price difference
The price of a truss is calculated by the meter. The price of trusses with different specifications and different lengths is different. Comparing the same footprint of flat roof aluminium stage truss system and slop A shape concert stage truss , Flat aluminium stage truss requires fewer meters of the joist, and the price is much lower than slop truss system.
If you need to do additional styling, the price will be relatively higher.
