What Is A Truss?
What is a truss? What is it for and what purpose does it serve?
In general, a truss can be defined as a rigid framework, of wooden beams or metal bars. It’s designed to support a structure.
However, in architecture and structural engineering a truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight slender members whose ends are connected at joints.
Trusses have a high strength to weight ratio. Consequently they are used in many structures, from bridges to roof supports as well as for space stations.
A truss is extremely lightweight. Despite that fact, it is strong enough to support plasma screens and flat-panel monitors.
Truss displays are preferred by many exhibitors. As a matter of fact, they can be used to hang oversize plasma screens showing product photos. They’re also great for hanging lighting to attract attendees. A display truss is used for exhibits as a high technical and industrial component. It can also be used in retail environments for displays and decorations.
Truss displays have a great deal of benefits. First of all display trusses are easy to assemble. They often require nothing only a simple tool, such as a screwdriver. By the way, a truss display can be dismantled and packed into small shipping cases. Another benefit is that truss displays take up little floor space which is a real advantage for exhibitors.
However, truss displays can be found in all sizes, including 30 x 30 models. They can be designed in a wide variety shape or size, which can be restricted by manufacturing capabilities, shipping limitations or handling considerations.
