Everything Overhead, Planned First

Most of what makes a show look big hangs above it: moving lights, speakers, LED walls, drape and signs. All of it needs a safe place to hang, in the right spot, without blocking the view.

Our truss rental starts with the venue: its rigging points, ceiling height and weight limits. Then we plan the truss around what you want in the air and build it with load-rated hardware and certified rigging gear.

A single span over a lectern or a full concert rig. Rent the truss on its own, or let us hang the lighting rental and sound on it too.

  • Planned for the venue’s limits
  • Load-rated hardware
  • Hung or ground-supported
  • Checked before the show
Stage Truss

Truss for Lights, Speakers, Screens and Drape

The venue and the weight decide how a rig gets in the air. These are the setups we build most.

  • Hung Truss Truss hung from the venue’s rigging points for a clean look that keeps sightlines open.
  • Ground-Supported Truss Free-standing truss on towers, for rooms and sites where nothing can hang from the building.
  • Lighting Towers Truss towers beside the stage that carry lights and speakers, indoors or out. Concert Lighting
  • LED Wall Rigging Hangs for LED walls and screens, rigged and checked with our video crew. LED Screen Rental
  • Drape and Drops Masking, drape and custom drops hung from truss and sized to your stage. Pipe and Drape Rental
  • Outdoor Rigs Wind-rated truss and speaker hangs for concerts, festivals and waterfront shows. Concerts & Outdoor Events

Hung or Ground-Supported: Which Fits Your Venue

Truss Rental FAQs

How much does truss rental cost?

It depends on how much truss you need, whether it hangs or stands on towers, what goes on it, the venue and the number of days. Send the venue and the plan and we’ll quote the rig.

What is stage rigging?

Stage rigging is hanging lights, speakers, LED walls and drape safely over a stage or room, from the venue’s rigging points or from truss.

What is the difference between hung and ground-⁠supported truss?

Hung truss hangs from the venue’s rigging points. Ground-supported truss stands on its own towers, so nothing hangs from the building.

Is your rigging equipment certified?

Yes. We use certified rigging gear and load-rated hardware, run by trained crew, with a safety check before the show.

What if the venue doesn’t allow rigging from the ceiling?

We build free-standing truss towers instead, so nothing hangs from the building.

Do you rent truss for outdoor events?

Yes. We build wind-rated truss and speaker hangs and agree ahead of time when to pause if the weather turns.

Can I rent truss without lights?

Yes. Rent the truss on its own, or add lights, speakers and screens from our team.
