Ladder Truss ear and Triangle Truss Bracket

Triangle Truss Brackets are a way to create a rigid crossbar using 3 parallel pieces of 1-1/4" speedrail.


Uses

Span the truss across two stands, rigging points, or chain motors to hang lights or other pieces of equipment. Using the triangle truss brackets you will have access to two points of contact that will prevent swiveling. It can also hang more weight and/or span longer distances than a single piece of speed rail. We carry 2 different types, Mini and Standard. Using Mini Triangle Truss is common when ceiling height limitations are involved.

To mount this on a stand you can use either triangle truss ears or you can clamp big ben clamps to the top pipe.

Accessories

Some accessories that you may need to order include

  • Speedrail x3
  • speedrail joiners
  • Triangle Truss Ear
  • Cheeseborough Fittings
  • Crank Stands (check weight limitations for the stand against your rig)
  • Shot/Sandbags
  • Safety Chains
  • Pipe Hangers

Troubleshooting

Grub nuts may need to be replaced if missing. You may also need to tap out the threads if it ends up stripped. If any triangle truss bracket is bent, it cannot be fixed and must be discarded.
