Company Profile
History
More than a decade ago Eurotruss
started up the production of aluminium
truss systems.
At the end of 1993 Eurotruss successfully
implemented the first conical spigot
connection which ultimately has
proved to be an important innovation
in the truss market.
After the introduction of this new
connection system in 1993 Eurotruss
has established a modern production
facility in machinery, premises and
remained the highest quality level in
terms of products as well as high performance of our organization. During Production
the last decade an extensive and well
trained network of worldwide dealers Eurotruss has installed a state of the art
engineering flow system that provides

reduced to the minimum as a result of
10.000 m2.
our flexible production method.
Eurotruss has always been and will stay
upfront with the latest technology and
quality standards. As one of the first
Eurotruss got TuV and later on a SLV/
Welding Approval as well as a Building
Permit on Roofs and Complex Constructions all according the highest quality
specifications set by the respected institutions and authorities.

Stages
Staging
Events requiring a touring mobile platform for their
shows in the eighties evolved with the necessity for lightweight strengths from steel construction to compact
modular aluminium systems.
Trussing in many forms was available. With a market demand for stronger quicker and lighter systems. Eurotruss
with no compromise to strength or simplicity offers a broad
range of Aluminium Truss Systems all with the same high
standard of safety, and the revolutionary quick connection system. The taper joint is not prone to loosening with
age as; it has self-adjusting properties in the joint system
making for longer life of the product.
Eurotruss for all your projects
Eurotruss now has a wider range of aluminium products
covering all aspects of the industries requirements.
With the advent of the »SPECIAL PRODUCTS DEPARTMENT« Custom make projects can be undertaken and
supplied.
Eurotruss will continue with a dedication to improve and,
refine all aspects of it engineering expertise.

Exhibition
Exhibition
The use of lightweight and compact truss systems with a
relative high load capacity are required in the exhibition
industry.
More and more the demands for truss systems are not only
founded on the use of hanging grids but next to the
constructive character the truss systems have a decorative
purpose.
Due to the fact that aluminium has a strong but also a
decorative look and the broad range of truss possibilities
by its modularity, give the exhibition industry the perfect
tool.
Time is also a very important issue, Eurotruss understands
this. The modularity and fast connection system guarantees fast and safe mounting which saves time and money.
Due to this efficiency and Eurotruss its reliable image has
resulted in a leading position in the exhibition industry.

Approvals
All Eurotruss products are embraced with the RWTuV
Approvals certification with static reports and, load figures.
It must be appreciated that custom made products require
calculation even when mixed with existing components
before manufacture or supply to pass our stringent quality
control and, safety procedures. Our engineers can guide
you through this process. Just call.

Roof Systems
Eurotruss standard roof range:
All our roof systems from the 32 square meters to the 400
square meters are available with P.A. Wings.
These constructions are available with static reports and
are approved for use by the German legal authorities.
Eurotruss fulfilled the need for rapid set up times and
versatility of design by developing their roof system as a
follow on from the ground support systems and used a large
majority of standard components.
Enabling customers to build an ever increasingly adaptable system to cut down unnecessary investment in special
pieces to do one job. This concept drastically reduces costly investment when the produced can multi task giving a
fast return of revenue invested.

Introduction

Deco Truss Series
Pre Rigging
The Pre Rig Truss is capable of adapting high loads on long
free spans. The dimensions, used material and strong connection makes the Pre Rig Truss the strongest truss in the
line of aluminum truss systems.
Eurotruss developed a high loadable Pre Rig Truss and
constructed it in such a way that an optimum has been
realized to get the maximum result. Eurotruss proofs
again that it offers the optimal product for any purpose
required.
Pre Rigging
An improved heavy duty truss to be used as a main grid
or structure in order to fly smaller truss systems and
circles or create large spans with high load bearing capacity. Very often the pre rigging is not visual as it disappears
under the roof and ceilings.
In those cases that the halls or the ceilings of buildings can
not be used to fix many hanging points for several truss
rigs, the Pre Rig Truss is being used as a second ceiling on
where several rigs of smaller truss systems or circles etc can
be flown.

System Overview
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Every Eurotruss System is based on standard elements
and basic applications.
All Eurotruss series can be constructed in one or two levels
(up and or down) using standard fixed corners or variable
universal-cornerblocks (also called magic corners).

With the development of some accessories and adapters
all kind of different constructions are possible. With the
use of standard truss elements the possibilities are enormous.
From small stands up to medium ground supports and even
big roof constructions can be build in fast, easy and safe way.

WHICH TRUSS FOR WHICH PURPOSE?
This matrix helps you to find the ideal truss for your
requirements. Naturally not all individual cases could
be listed as the truss itself can be used in many ways.
It is just a helpful tool to show you if that particular
truss is suitable for your application. So, +++ at FD34
in Roofs does not mean that ST is less suitable for
roofs.
In many cases FD34 is in many cases the basic truss
of which many roofs are being made.
TYPICAL USAGE:
TT:
FD4X:
Up to 40 meters of span with impressive load
bearing capacity. The ultimate solution for Pre Rig.
The big brother of the FD3X with
an even higher loading capacity.
XT:
HD3X:
More than 24 meters of span required, also good
loading and suitability as Pre Rig. XT will be your choice.
Upgrade of the FD3x by using a 3mm wall thickness which
results in a higher load bearing capacity and durability.
ST:
FD3X:
ST made for big jobs with its 50cm square
still an acceptable size. Impressive result.
With the FD32 (ladderbeam), FD33 (triangular)
and FD34 (square) this system is far out the most
used and allround truss available. Up to middle long
spans the solution for exhibition stands and small roofs.
FT:
The truss for a tour! High loading capacity
and a minimum of space required.
12
XD:
FD25:
For professional installers and stand builders
this relative small truss, developed for indoor use,
has an enormous loading capacity.
A triangle truss which visual impact provides a perfect
frame to enhance product image without detracting
from its loadability and rigidity.
HD4X:
FD22:
Upgrade of the FD4x by using a 3mm wall
thickness which results in a higher load bearing
capacity and durability.
A new truss system ideal for decorative and exhibition
purposes. Good for making small frames, relative light
and looks fine.
