Emmanuel Josue

What’s up, event enthusiasts and stage setup pros! Welcome back to the Famous Stages blog, your go-to source for all things trussing and staging. Today, we’re diving into one of our favorite setups: the Global Truss 20x20x10 feet F34 Circular Truss System. Whether you're a DJ production manager, an event manager, or a trade show organizer, this truss system is a game-changer. Let’s get started on building this impressive setup!

What You’ll Need:

Here’s a quick rundown of the Global Truss products we’ll be using:

  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4111 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (4.92 ft. long)
  • 4 pcs. SQ-4137 Base Plate 12x12-inch for F34 Square Truss
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4113 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (8.2 ft. long)
  • 1 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Box
  • 1 pcs. Global Truss F34 12-inch Truss 4Arc Circle (9.84 ft.)
  • 2 pcs. Global Truss UJB/C-12 1/2 Coupler with Alien Bolt (4 Pack)

Step-by-Step Assembly Guide

Step 1: Preparing the Base

First things first, let’s get the base ready. Place the four SQ-4137 base plates at the corners of your 20x20 feet stage area. Make sure they are evenly spaced and secure – these plates are the foundation of your entire setup.

Step 2: Setting Up the Vertical Supports

Next, take the four SQ-4111 F34 Aluminum Box Trusses (4.92 ft. long) and attach them vertically to each base plate. These trusses will act as the pillars of your structure. Secure them tightly using the UJB/C-12 1/2 Couplers with Alien Bolts. It’s crucial to ensure these are solidly in place because they will support the entire weight of the truss system.

Step 3: Creating the Horizontal Framework

Now, it’s time to form the horizontal cross-section. Connect the four SQ-4113 F34 Aluminum Box Trusses (8.2 ft. long) to the tops of your vertical supports using the ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Box in the center. This will create a cross-shaped framework at the top, which is the backbone of your stage design.

Step 4: Adding the Arc Trusses

This is where it gets exciting! Disassemble the Global Truss F34 4Arc Circle (9.84 ft.) into its four arc segments. Attach each arc to the ends of the horizontal trusses, creating four large arcs that extend out from the center. These arcs combined with the cross-shaped horizontal truss will provide a dome-shaped arc structure and add a dynamic visual element to your stage setup.

Cross-shaped horizontal trusses and Global Truss quarter arcs will provide a dome-shaped arc structure

 

Step 5: Connecting the Arcs to the Vertical Posts

Now for the tricky part – aligning the top arc trusses with the vertical posts. Raise the horizontal framework carefully and align the other ends of the four arcs with the top ends of the vertical truss posts. Securely connect each arc to a vertical post using the UJB/C-12 1/2 Couplers with Alien Bolts. This step ensures that the arc trusses are firmly attached and stable.

Step 6: Securing the Structure

Finally, go around and double-check all connections. Use the remaining couplers to reinforce any weak spots, ensuring everything is rock-solid. Safety first, always!

Why Choose the Global Truss 20x20x10 Feet F34 Circular Truss System?

  • Versatility: This setup is perfect for a variety of events, from concerts and DJ sets to trade shows and conventions.
  • Sturdiness: Made from high-quality aluminum, these trusses are both lightweight and incredibly durable.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The arc design adds a modern and professional touch to any event, enhancing the overall visual impact.

Constructing a Solid Foundation: A Guide to Assembling Global Truss Ground Support Systems - Multi-Tower Basement Structure

Emmanuel Josue

Introduction:

Welcome to FamousStages.com, your premier destination for top-quality stage production equipment, including Global Truss systems. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of erecting a sturdy ground support system using Global Truss components. Whether you're preparing for a concert, corporate event, or any other production, mastering the assembly of the ground support structure is crucial for building a reliable stage trussing setup. Let's dive into the step-by-step process to ensure your multi-tower basement structure stands strong and secure.

Step 1: Preparing Your Equipment

Before beginning assembly, ensure you have all the necessary components from your Global Truss ground support system kit. This includes:

a. Four sets of Global Truss GT1804 - GROUND-SUPPORT-SYSTEM-18.04-ft

 One set includes:

  • 1 Ton Manual Chain Hoist (30 ft) or Electric Chain Hoist
  • Ground Support Base (44BS-1)
  • Four Outriggers with Stabilizer Arms (GT-492145-1)
  • Sleeve Block (GT-BLOCK)
  • Top for Chain Motor (GT-TOP/CM)
  • Two 5/8-inch Steel Shackles
  • 9 ft Round Sling with Aircraft Cable Inside (WIREROPE9)
  • Left and Right 88mm Hinges for Ground Support System (HINGE/M12-L/88MM, HINGE/M12-R/88MM)
  • 1 piece Global Truss F34 12-inch Aluminum Square Box Truss 1.64 ft. long
  • 2 pieces Global Truss F34 12-inch Aluminum Square Box Truss 8.2 ft. long

 This set will serve as base and vertical post of the ground support system tower.

b. Four sets of F34 square trusses for the horizontal trusses

One set includes:

  • 1 piece Global Truss F34 12-inch Aluminum Square Box Truss 1.64 ft. long
  • 2 pieces Global Truss F34 12-inch Aluminum Square Box Truss 9.2 ft. long

 

Step 2: Setting Up the Ground Support Structure

Begin by laying out the four ground support bases on the ground on a square-shaped area which is approximately 20’ x 20’. Note that the base casters are for transporting the base only. The wheels are not designed for movement under load or to carry the load of the tower. You use and adjust the Screw Jack to stabilize firmly the ground support structure.

Lay out the 4 Ground Support Bases

 

Connect the Ground Support Base (44BS-1) to the 1.64 ft long square box truss. Once connected, position the Sleeve Block (GT-BLOCK) on top of the Ground Support base with the 1.64 ft. long square box truss inside the Sleeve Block, emphasizing its importance in supporting the horizontal and vertical trusses.

 

Connect the Ground Support Base (44BS-1) to the 1.64 ft long square box truss.

 

Place the Global Truss Sleeve Bock on top of the Ground Support Base

 

Next, connect the two 8.2 ft square box trusses using truss couplers, pins and clips, then connect these trusses to the 1.64 ft long square box truss using the Left and Right 88mm Hinges (HINGE/M12-L/88MM, HINGE/M12-R/88MM). Ensure the connections are secure, as this forms the foundation for the vertical posts/tower. Also, connect the Top for Chain Motor (GT-TOP/CM) on one end of the vertical truss which will be the topmost part of the vertical post/tower.

 

Connect the 2 8.2 ft. Square Box Trusses


Connect the 2 vertical truss to the 1.64 ft. square box truss

 

Step 3: Erecting the Vertical Trusses

With the Ground Support Base, 1.64 ft long square truss and Sleeve Block in place, proceed to erect the vertical trusses of each ground support system set. Position them securely on top of the ground support bases, ensuring alignment and stability.

Step 4: Attaching Horizontal Trusses

After setting up the ground support structure, it's time to incorporate the horizontal trusses, crucial for structure’s stability and functionality. Begin by securely attaching the two 9.02 ft long square box trusses and the 1.64 ft long square box truss together, forming a robust horizontal assembly. Ensure a tight connection using reliable hardware, highlighting the durability of Global Truss stage trussing solutions.

Connect the horizontal trusses in between the Sleeve Blocks (GT-BLOCK) forming a square-shaped horizontal truss assembly.

Utilize the manual Chain Hoist (CHAIN HOIST30) to raise the connected horizontal trusses towards the top of the vertical posts, underscoring the versatility of Global Truss systems in stage truss construction. You can also use an electric chain hoist in place of the manual one to raise the structure easier.

 

 Step 5: Adding Stabilization

Install the Outriggers with Stabilizer Arms (GT-492145-1) to each Ground Support Base, providing additional stability and support to the structure. Adjust the stabilizer arms as needed to ensure proper balance and alignment.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Safety Checks

Before proceeding further, conduct thorough safety checks to ensure the stability and integrity of the ground support structure. Inspect all connections, hardware, and rigging for any signs of weakness or instability.

Make any necessary adjustments or reinforcements to address potential hazards and ensure the structure is safe for use.

Emmanuel Josue

Constructing a Dynamic Global Truss F34 10' x 10' Display Booth Truss System can be an engaging project that requires attention to detail and some basic understanding of structural assembly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you build your display booth:

Step 1: Preparation

  • Materials Needed: Ensure you have all the necessary parts of the Global Truss F34 system, including truss sections, base plates, conical connectors, safety pins, and a hammer or mallet for securing the connections.
  • Safety Gear: Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.
  • Space: Clear a large, flat area for assembly.

Step 2: Layout

  • Lay out the truss pieces on the ground in the shape of your 10' x 10' booth. This typically involves four corner pieces, four straight pieces for the sides, and cross-pieces for added stability and support.

Step 3: Assemble Base

  • Start by attaching the base plates to the bottom of each corner piece. Ensure the base plates are securely fastened to provide a stable foundation.
  • Erect the corner pieces on their base plates in their approximate locations.

Step 4: Connect Trusses

  • Begin connecting the straight truss sections to the corner pieces. The F34 system uses conical connectors that fit into the ends of the truss sections. Insert the connectors into one end, align the next truss section, and gently tap the pieces together with a mallet.
  • Secure each connection with the provided safety pins to ensure the structure is locked in place.

Step 5: Add Cross Supports

  • If your design includes cross supports for added stability or to hang displays, attach these now. Similar to the straight sections, use the conical connectors and safety pins to secure the cross-pieces in place.

Step 6: Raise Structure

  • With the help of at least one other person, carefully lift the structure into an upright position. Ensure all base plates are flat on the ground and the structure is stable.

Step 7: Final Adjustments

  • Walk around the structure to ensure all connections are secure and the booth is square and stable. Make any necessary adjustments.
  • Attach any additional elements such as lighting, banners, or displays to the truss system, following the manufacturer's recommendations for weight limits and securing methods.

Step 8: Safety Check

  • Perform a final safety check to ensure everything is secure. Check all connections, ensure the structure is stable, and confirm that all displays are safely attached.

Tips:

  • Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details regarding assembly and safety precautions.
  • If you're unfamiliar with truss systems or concerned about safety, consider hiring a professional to assist with the assembly.
  • Regular maintenance checks are important to ensure the long-term stability and safety of your truss system.

This guide provides a general overview, and it's crucial to adapt the steps as needed based on the specific design and components of your Global Truss F34 system. Stay safe and enjoy your new display booth!
