Multiple Base Plate Sizes

Five standard sizes are available:

• 300×300mm

• 400×400mm

• 500×500mm

• 600×600mm

• 800×800mm

This range allows users to select a base footprint according to their truss size and event-production requirements.

8mm Aluminum Plate

All listed versions use an 8mm aluminum base plate, providing a rigid support component while keeping the base significantly lighter than a comparable steel plate.

Integrated Handles

The base plate is designed with handles, making it easier for event crews to carry, position, install, and remove the component during repeated setup and dismantling.

Half-Conical Spigot Connection

The base incorporates a half-conical connection for compatible aluminum spigot truss systems.

Pins & Clips

The supplied product information specifies pins and clips as part of the connection arrangement, providing a practical mechanical connection between the base and compatible truss sections.

Suitable for Event Production

The lightweight aluminum construction and multiple sizes make this base plate suitable for temporary and reusable event-production systems.

Applications

The Aluminum Spigot Truss Base Plate with Handles can be used in various temporary and modular event-production applications.

Event Production

Provides a base connection for compatible truss structures used in event setups.

Stage Truss

Suitable as a base component for compatible stage truss systems.

Lighting Truss

Can be used at the bottom of compatible lighting truss structures.

Exhibition Systems

The different base sizes provide options for exhibition and display frameworks.

Concert Production

Suitable for compatible modular truss configurations used in concert environments.

Trade Shows & Displays

Useful for temporary booth and display structures where aluminum spigot truss is used.

Rental Systems

The reusable design and lightweight aluminum construction make it suitable for event rental inventory.

Advantages for Event Production

Lightweight

The listed weights range from 1.98kg to 14.08kg, depending on size.

Multiple Sizes

Five standard footprint options are available from 300×300mm to 800×800mm.

8mm Plate

The supplied specifications identify an 8mm aluminum plate across the listed sizes.

Easy Handling

Integrated handles simplify carrying and positioning.

Modular Connection

Half-conical connection with pins/clips supports compatible spigot truss assembly.

Reusable

Suitable for repeated event setup, dismantling, transportation, and storage.

Installation Overview

A typical installation sequence is:

1. Select the appropriate base plate size for the truss system.

2. Place the base plate on the prepared installation surface.

3. Position the compatible half-conical connector.

4. Align the truss section with the base connection.

5. Insert the appropriate pins/clips.

6. Confirm that the connection is fully secured.

7. Continue assembling the truss structure.

8. Inspect the complete structure before use.

The exact connection and locking procedure should follow the instructions applicable to the specific truss system.

Choosing the Right Base Size

The correct base size should be selected according to the compatible truss dimensions and complete system requirements, rather than simply choosing the largest available plate.

The actual suitability depends on the truss dimensions, tower height, load, ground conditions, and complete structural configuration.

Safety Considerations

A base plate is one component of a complete truss support system. The base size alone does not establish the maximum load or overall stability of a structure.

For professional applications, users should consider:

• Truss dimensions

• Total tower height

• Equipment load

• Load distribution

• Center of gravity

• Ground conditions

• Connection compatibility

• Ballast requirements where applicable

• Wind conditions for outdoor installations

• Applicable engineering requirements

The supplied information does not provide a specific load rating or wind rating for each base size. Therefore, these values should not be inferred solely from the plate dimensions or weight.

What sizes are available?

The base plate is available in:

300×300mm, 400×400mm, 500×500mm, 600×600mm, and 800×800mm.

What is the plate thickness?

The supplied specification lists an 8mm aluminum plate thickness.

How much does the 300×300mm base weigh?

The 300×300mm version weighs 1.98kg.

How much does the 400×400mm base weigh?

The 400×400mm version weighs 3.60kg.

How much does the 500×500mm base weigh?

The 500×500mm version weighs 5.50kg.

How much does the 600×600mm base weigh?

The 600×600mm version weighs 7.92kg.

How much does the 800×800mm base weigh?

The 800×800mm version weighs 14.08kg.

Does the base have handles?

Yes. The product is designed with handles to facilitate carrying and positioning.

How is the base connected to the truss?

The supplied product information specifies a half-conical connection with pins/clips.

Can this base be used with any aluminum truss?

It should be used with a compatible spigot truss connection system. The exact truss size and conical connector dimensions should be confirmed before ordering.

Is it suitable for outdoor events?

It can be used as part of a suitable outdoor truss system, but outdoor installations require evaluation of wind, ballast, ground conditions, tower height, equipment load, and overall structural stability. No specific outdoor wind rating is provided in the supplied product information.
