If you’re ready to build something big, impressive, and totally safe—let’s go step-by-step on how to assemble your Global Truss F34 Ground Support System like a true pro.
What You’ll Need
Each of the four towers in this truss system uses the following components:
-
(1X) 44BS-1 – Ground Support Base
-
(4X) GT-492145-1 – Outrigger with Stabilizer Arm
-
(1X) GT-BLOCK – Sleeve Block
-
(1X) GT-TOP/CM – Top for Chain Motor
-
(2X) SHACKLE 5/8" – 5/8-inch Steel Shackle (Max Load 3-1/4 Tons)
-
(1X) WIREROPE9 – 9 ft. Round Sling with Aircraft Cable Inside
-
(2X) HINGE/M12-L/88MM – Left 88mm Hinge
-
(2X) HINGE/M12-R/88MM – Right 88mm Hinge
-
(1X) Global Truss F34 12" Aluminum Box Truss 1.64 ft.
-
(2X) Global Truss F34 12" Aluminum Box Truss 13.12 ft.
The top horizontal structure connecting all four towers forms a perfect 28.84 ft square using:
-
Eight (8) Global Truss 12" F34 Box Truss 13.12 ft. pieces (two per side) connected to the GT-Blocks (Sleeve Blocks).
(Note: CHAIN HOIST30 - 1 Ton, 30 ft. Manual Chain Hoist is not included in the total package price as it’s currently out of stock.)
Step 1: Set Your Foundation
Start by laying out the 44BS-1 Ground Support Bases in a perfect 28.84 ft square area. Measure twice, because the precision of your base layout ensures your tower structure stays stable and perfectly aligned.
Attach the four GT-492145-1 Outriggers with Stabilizer Arms to each base. These are the legs that give your structure that critical lateral support. Tighten all connections securely so your base won’t budge when your truss tower starts to rise.
Step 2: Build the Tower Bases
On each base, connect one Global Truss 12" Aluminum Box Truss 1.64 ft. vertically. This short truss segment serves as the starting leg for your tower and will sit right under the GT-BLOCK Sleeve Block.
Now, slide your GT-BLOCK Sleeve Block over the 1.64 ft truss. This block will travel up and down the tower later on when you lift your top structure using a chain hoist or manual winch.
Step 3: Add the Hinges and Vertical Trusses
On top of the 1.64 ft truss (inside the GT-BLOCK), connect your Left and Right 88mm Hinges (HINGE/M12-L & R). These are crucial — they let your tower tilt safely forward during the assembly process, making it easier to attach the upper trusses before raising the system upright.
Then, connect two Global Truss 13.12 ft Aluminum Box Trusses vertically on top of the hinge assembly. You’ll now have one impressive 27.88 ft tower per corner.
Repeat this process for all four towers.
Step 4: Assemble the Top Horizontal Structure on the Ground
Before lifting anything, assemble the top square truss structure on the ground.
Each side of the square will be two 13.12 ft trusses connected together, totaling 28.84 ft per side. Connect each corner to a GT-BLOCK Sleeve Block that’s already on your four tower bases.
Make sure all truss pins, bolts, and safety clips are locked tightly. The top square truss is what ties all four towers together—it’s the heart of your Global Truss F34 Ground Support System.

Step 5: Lift and Secure the Structure
Now comes the exciting part! Attach your WIREROPE9 sling and SHACKLE 5/8" hardware to the GT-TOP/CM and the chain hoist (manual or motorized).
Carefully start raising the GT-BLOCKS to lift the entire top square truss off the ground. This process will gradually bring your system upright. Make sure you have enough hands on deck—lifting a truss system of this size is a team effort.
Once each tower is fully upright, lock the hinges, tighten the outriggers, and ensure every joint is solid. You’ve just erected one of the strongest and most reliable multi-tower trussing systems available today.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Safety Checks
Before loading any lights, LED walls, or sound gear, double-check:
-
All pins, bolts, and clips are secured.
-
The outriggers are locked and tightened.
-
Each GT-BLOCK moves smoothly and evenly when tested.
-
The ground support bases are stable and level.
When everything checks out, you’re ready to mount your lighting truss, DJ truss, stage truss, or display booth truss gear with total confidence.
