Modular individuality

As one of the world's leading manufacturers of truss systems, Global Truss offers a range of modular products that can be used for a huge variety of applications. The modularity of Global Truss gear means that users of all kinds enjoy the greatest possible scope for individuality, so that each structure and system can be perfectly tailored to the user's specific requirements. In addition to their truss systems, there is an almost endless repertoire of rigging, adapters, and other accessories to round off the Global Truss product range. And the icing on the cake is that many of these accessories work across all systems – almost everything is modular.

More than a couple of couplers

Global Truss couplers are available in very different designs, for an almost universal range of tasks and applications. Stage techs and other users will find they have huge creative freedom in the design of their sets and stages: the direct mounting of technical equipment on cross beams and the flexible attachment of lifting gear is just the beginning. Depending on the specific trusses and accessories being used, tensile loads from a few dozen kilos to several hundred kilos can be mounted. The majority of the many versatile hoists work across all systems. In addition to the range of familiar standard products, there are special variants making unique installations even easier: there's the Selflock hook, which offers a certain degree of safety even when the retaining screw is open, and the Small Quick half coupler, with a quick-release fastener that enables light to medium-weight equipment to be attached quickly and conveniently.

Everything a pro needs

Global Truss has a very extensive range of products, with something for everyone - whether they are setting up retail environments, exhibition stands, stage sets, or something more unusual: The modularity of the truss systems and the very diverse range of rigging and other accessories offer plenty of scope for individuality when planning special constructions. Rental companies hiring out event technology, trade fair and commercial store designers, and retailers, theatres, museums, photographers, as well as anyone else looking for high-quality truss systems will find that Global Truss products will reliably provide the service they need, with quality certified by the German industrial safety agency TÜV.

About Global Truss

Global Truss is a company specialising in the manufacture of aluminium products for event technology and stage construction. Headquartered in the Baden-Württemberg municipality of Karlsbad, near the city of Karlsruhe, the company has grown since its creation in 2000 to become a leading global manufacturer of trusses, with subsidiaries in the USA and Asia. Global Truss started with three different truss systems, but these have since expanded to a range of more than ten. The firm guarantees that the processes of manufacture and testing of their aluminium structures comply at every step with the highest quality and safety standards, from the raw material itself through to the production facility, right down to the individual welder.

All couplers great and small

Depending on the specific model and series, Global Truss couplers are used for different things: Half couplers with wing nuts or screws are ideal for mounting lighting technology and other devices directly to trusses. Swivel couplers, on the other hand, create a stable connection between two standard chord tubes, further expanding the already very diverse options; there are even flexible swivel couplers, allowing users to set the angle of attachment freely. Half couplers with half cones and spacers also serve to expand construction options, while the half couplers with eyelets are suitable for attaching shackles, steel cables, and other lifting equipment to any point on a truss. One special item is the corner brake, which consists of a telescopic rod and two half couplers and is used like a brace to extend the usable length of a set of chords.

In the spotlight: TrussTool

The first TrussTool was introduced in 2006 and since then has been the first choice for designing constructions quickly and easily. The new TrussTool 3.0 is the first version to offer 3D views of all components from the F32, F33, and F34 series, including spacers, circle pieces, and base plates. A highly intuitive user interface helps everyone to implement their designs quickly. All designs can be saved with a user account so that they can be accessed at any time. In order to not lose sight of the dimensions of one's construction, the TrussTool provides all dimensions, the total weight, and a detailed list of components.

Great Quality for good pricing

The quality of the brackets are top notch. We use a lot of them for support bars and also lighting rigs and the strength of the builds are very very high quality. Would definitely reccomend these as a superior product.

Unverwüstlich

Die Doppelschelle macht einen guten, einwandfrei verarbeiteten Eindruck, einziges Manko sind die sehr billigen und schmalen Flügelmuttern, die schon zum teil nach zweimaligen, etwas festeren Anziehen starke Verschleisspuren aufweisen. Die zwei Schellen sind gegenseitig um 360° verdrehbar, jedoch fehlt eine Arretiermöglichkeit, ein Feststellen ist somit also nicht möglich um z. B. Rundbars an eine Traverse zu befestigen. Das zu befestigende Objekt dreht sich also nach den Regeln der Physik immer in die Position, in der der Schwerpunkt möglichst weit unten liegt. Man kann sich lediglich mit einer zweiten Doppelschelle behelfen, die man versetzt zur ersten anbringt. Der Verwendungsschwerpunkt liegt also definitiv im Aufbau von Traversenkonstruktionen, um Traversen im beliebigen Winkel untereinander zu verbinden.
