A Quick Guide to Building Your Stage with Global Truss Products

Whenever you’re building stage rigging for lights, cable runs, and special effects, you’ll need to be able to rely on high-quality hardware that will provide safety as well as performance. That means finding a range of products with good weight tolerances, easy interconnects, and light weight construction for transportation and storage.

At Digital DJ Gear, we’re proud to carry the Global Truss range of products, all of which can be used to develop a quality stage setup that would be fit for use in some of the most demanding environments.

If this will be your first time buying stage rigging equipment, then this quick guide will help you to learn about all of the most essential elements, with a few specific examples from the Global Truss range.

Get Baseplates for a Strong Foundation

Global TrussAny stage will start from the ground up, which means that you’re going to need high-quality baseplates to mount your system from. Baseplates come in different sizes and materials, depending on how much load you’re going to be putting on your truss sections.

The most basic plates are made from aluminum, but this doesn’t mean that they’re not stable and of the highest quality. Take the 20”x20” aluminum Global Truss base plate as an example. It is 3/8 inches of solid aluminum, yet it only weighs 13.5 lb. in total. If you want something more sturdy, then you could consider a steel plate, such as a 36”x36” steel baseplate. Using a number of these plates could form the foundation of a larger truss system or one that needs to carry more weight from stage lights, speakers, or other pieces of equipment.

When you choose base plates from the Global range, you’ll be able to choose compatibility with different truss sizes, including 16” square, 12” square, and 12” triangular. Mounting hardware can be relocated to various slots in most mounting plates, allowing you versatility with your purchase.

Choose Your Truss Pieces for Upright and Connecting Sections

Global Truss individual truss sections are some of the best in the world and are made from a high-quality magnesium and aluminum compound that helps to improve load bearing, without impacting the weight of the truss pieces themselves.

You will have plenty to choose from when building a system, whether you are looking for straight square segments, arches, or even 90 degree and square corner junction systems. The great thing about choosing a system from Global is that you will always have options when it comes to lengths and shapes. No matter what you require in your setup, the modular system will allow you to build rigging that suits your needs.

Find Clamps and Accessories to Hold Your Global Truss System Together

GlobalTrussGlobal Truss clamps will be essential to hold your whole system together, and when you choose authentic products, you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues or any problems with individual items living up to their performance targets.

The Global coupling system uses special tapered conical connectors which help to increase the strength of any connection while reducing the chance of any shearing of the material. This conical system is already built right into the Global Truss base plate products, and you can also buy special spacers and couplers for connecting individual pieces of truss.

For mounting your equipment, you will have a selection of high-quality clamps, ranging in purpose and weight bearing. Light duty clamps are suitable for weight loads up to 165 lb., and you could even order specialty parts that can handle loads of up to 500kg. No matter what kind of hardware you need to mount, or what kind of truss pieces you are working with, you’ll be able to talk to us to find the best solution.

Hold it All Together with Global Truss Clamps

Global Truss is a market leader when it comes to stage truss equipment and accessories, and if you’re looking for the best quality components to ensure that your lighting and sound rigging is stable and safe, then you should definitely consider their clamps, trusses, and base plates for your inventory.

Whether you’re part of a large production company, or you just want a reliable setup for your band or DJ company, you’ll find everything that you need at Digital DJ Gear. Let’s take a look at some of the key products, and what they have to offer you.

Global Truss Base Plates to Ground Your Entire System

Global Truss ClampsA truss system can only be as good as the foundation that you build it on, which is why you need to insist on the highest quality base plates on the market. When you choose products from the Global Truss range, you’ll be able to have a versatile system that meets all of your weight requirements.

If you’re looking to build a stationary system, then you can start your trusses off on a solid steel square or aluminum base plate. The Global Truss 30×30 Aluminum Base Plate is a great starting option, and at 30” x 30” it’s the ideal size to hold up standalone trusses, or you could combine a number of these base plates to design an elaborate stage lighting and effects setup. These base plates use the proprietary global truss clamps system, which is a special trapezoid clamp that ensures quick set up and release, without compromising the strength of the connection that is made to your trusses.

If you’re looking for something for a lighter stage truss system, then you could consider an aluminum base plate. The F34 20” x 20” aluminum model is lighter than the steel base plates that we have available, but this could be perfect if you have a rig that isn’t as demanding when it comes to weight requirements.

Finally, if you want a great steel base plate that is easily portable, then you could take a look at one of our options that comes on high quality casters wheels. These base plates are made for the demands of professional touring bands, DJs, stage entertainers, or event organizers who need a wheeled truss system that makes no compromises when it comes to strength or stability. Take a look at our complete range of Global Truss base plates to start designing your own professional truss system.

Professional Grade Truss Sections

If you’re looking for truss sections of any size and in industry standard shapes, then we have you covered throughout the range. The sections offered are made from high quality aluminum and magnesium alloy, allowing for industry leading weight tolerance, with reduced hardware weight that makes systems easy to manage and transport.

Whether you want to create simple vertical stands for stage lighting, or even if you’re creating elaborate stage rigs for large shows, you’ll find a variety of straight, 90-degree angle, and curved pieces. All truss sections from Global Truss are modular, which means that you can mix and match different pieces of inventory to meet your needs. They also use the standard Global Truss clamps system, which means that you’ll be able to use a single clamp style for each piece. For specialist arrangements, we even offer pieces like T-Junctions and 135-degree corner pieces. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an arch or a full 360 degree lighting array that you want to create, you won’t be left wanting when you choose the range developed by Global and sold right here at Digital DJ Gear.

Global Truss F34 Specs

Developed and engineered by one of the most trusted names in the stage truss industry, The F34 series offers a highly versatile and modular platform that can scale to different needs, venues, and projects. With a range of sizes that are inter-connectable, and with circular and straight pieces for modern stage designs, you’ll always be able to rig the right truss system for any job, and you’ll have confidence knowing that you’re using the renowned Global Truss F34 system.

Take a look at just a few of the items from the F34 range, and you’ll see that high quality, stability, and versatility are the core elements of every Global Truss design.

About the System

Global TrussAll of the trusses in the F34 range use standard four point mounting, and offer compatibility with the Eurotruss square four point FD34. If you already own gear that is FD34 compatible, then you can be confident that any of the pieces in the Global Truss F34 range will be able to interconnect with your existing inventory.

Throughout the range, tube diameter is 2”, which is the ideal size for strength and durability, and tubes are easily connected with a special conical coupling system. Once you’ve set up your rig, these trusses won’t be going anywhere, and any professional will be able to appreciate the kind of stability that this range can provide, even when loaded with lights, cabling, and other equipment.

If you’re investing in new trusses, then two of the most important considerations will be the quality of accessories and the availability of modular parts. With the F34 system, you won’t need to worry about obtaining additional pieces in the future, because we stock a comprehensive inventory of trusses, global truss clamps, coupling pieces, base plates, top rings, and even some specialty pieces, such as crank stands with integrated outriggers.

Hardwearing aluminum helps to minimize weight, without compromising strength or durability, and makes for great looking trusses that you will have absolute confidence in. The F34 system has been tested to be compliant with a number of safety regulations in the United States and Germany.

Detailed Specifications for Some Key Pieces

The following specifications will give you a better understanding of some key pieces, including a longer straight truss, a Global Truss base plate, and even a circular section, allowing you to see why the F34 system is the best option for your next truss investment.

  • Global Truss F34The F34 500cm section is a straight section that can be used for horizontal or vertical mounting. It is made from a strong and light aluminum compound (AIMgSi F31), and like all of the range, it uses a four point connecting system that is compatible with Eurotruss FD34 systems. The weight of this five meter section is 25.9kg, reinforcing the fact that the F34 system can provide plenty of length, without pieces being too heavy or difficult to work with.
  • If you’re purchasing 12” square truss pieces, then you’re going to need some sturdy base plates for your rigging. The four point F34 system can be easily mounted to either aluminum or steel base plates, which are available in both square and circular designs. One option is the Global Truss 20” x 20” solid aluminum base plate, which includes conical couplers integrated into the plate. Mounting is quick and easy, and you’ll enjoy a solid connection that won’t let you down.
  • Circle truss pieces can be easily made, thanks to the modular nature of the system. We offer a packaged set of four 90 degree truss pieces to form a three meter circle. These pieces all use the conical coupling system, and the same strong aluminum that is used to produce the straight sections. Each section weighs 13 kg, for a total of 52 kg on a completed 3m circle section. Of course, you could use these sections however you like, and they would also be suitable for creating arches, or other shapes for your stage design needs. The pipe used on these curved trusses is 50mm in diameter and 12” square, with 2mm wall thickness for strength and long life.
