USA - Global Truss America's new, ultra-thick F44P square/box trussing promises production houses the ability to rig industrial-strength fixtures. With a heavy-duty load capacity, the F44P is, says the company, "a virtual beast of burden" designed for those who need extra-strength truss.

The F44P is rigid enough to bear even the heaviest of loads with 3mm thick truss walls. Completely hand tig-welded, the F44P is made from extra-strong 6082-T6 aluminium alloy, a corrosion-resistant material three times lighter than steel used in aircraft manufacture. Like all Global Truss products, the F44P bears the TÜV seal of approval. With a wide overhead span of 15 3/4 inches (400mm), the F44P offers space to safely mount lighting equipment and effects of all shapes and sizes. It features a main tube diameter of approximately 2 inches (50mm), with 1-inch (22mm) diagonal bracing for added reinforcement.

Damian Mendoza, national sales manager for Global Truss America, said: "The F44P's tremendous tensile strength means that large-scale productions with seriously heavy lighting fixtures will now have no trouble at all securing their massive and complex rigs. And stage hands and roadies will discover the F44P is easy to set up, break down and transport from show to show . . . [it is] super affordable as well."
