Diamond Truss

Safety is number 1 in our industry and with that; many times we are faced with the challenge of offset or unbalanced loads.  The XSF Diamond Truss reduces this problem and offers a safe, reliable and logical solution.  Diamond Truss also offers additional flexibility as the traditional box truss configuration or vertical tower or columns.

When hanging video screens, curtains or other linear or inline devices, the XSF Diamond truss allows these items to be hung down the center line of the truss. This configuration creates an equalized and “natural” balance from the main chords. With the addition of an extra chord it increases rigidity and prevents bending or sag.

New in 2020, XSF Truss has developed a new truss specifically designed for Moving Lights, Automation and Video called MAV. To learn more about this product as a possible alternative to the Diamond Truss check it out here.

We encourage you to open the load tables chart above to see if the Diamond Truss configuration is right for you.
