Super Truss from our James Thomas Engineering brand is the advanced duty truss range for today’s leading live events.
Utilizing double-ended forked connections and heavier main chords than their General Purpose range, it delivers higher load capacities and increased ease of assembly, while maintaining the lightweight advantage of aluminum (6061T6 or 6082T6 alloy). SuperTruss also optimizes transport space due to its impressive high strength vs. size ratio.
As the weight and forces of modern productions increase, SuperTruss offers the staging, rigging, and lighting industry a variety of structural products capable of handling the job.
