Triangle Truss

A Lightweight, Clean and Simple Solution

Triangle truss is a very popular type of aluminum truss used in entertainment, event production, and architectural projects. It offers a lightweight aluminum solution with excellent load capacity specs. Triangle truss offers a balanced mix of strength, stability, and transport efficiency.

As the name implies, “triangle truss” is built with three main chords arranged in a triangular pattern, welded together with diagonal internal supports. This geometric shape is not only visually appealing but also creates an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Although it does not match the load capacity of box truss, triangle truss can be an ideal choice for lightweight rigs, small lighting grids, trade show booths, or decorative displays.

One major advantage of triangle truss is its compact profile. Compared to box truss, it takes up less space in transport, storage, and setup. It’s easy to handle, quick to assemble, and works well when rigging demands are moderate or light. In the right situation, triangle truss is a popular choice for many touring professionals and production companies.

If your project or application requires a lightweight truss option with clean aesthetics and efficiency without unnecessary bulk, triangle truss might be your ideal solution.
