What truss and structures means

One plate.
Every structure.

Truss is the engineered aluminium framework that carries lighting, audio, scenery, screens and performers above a stage or floor. The LITEC X and H end-plated system spans flat ladder truss to heavy square - and the towers, ground-support roofs, long clear spans and curved features built from it.

What sets it apart is the die-cast end plate. Every section ends in the same plate, so a truss bought years apart still bolts up true, with minimal twist. That plate takes two connections: a double-cone spigot for fast load-in, or a concealed bolt for clean, snag-free sides. It is one part of the full Lifting & Rigging range.

Double-cone spigot. The QXFC quick-fit kit drops in, pins and springs lock - the fastest connection, and the basis of every published load table.

The range

Pick the section,
not the compromise.

Thirteen series on one end-plate system, grouped into five cross-sections. Each is the right answer to a different span and load - here is how they differ, and how to spec the one your structure needs.

Every series shares the same die-cast end plate, so families mix and reuse across years. LITEC sections and components carry TÜV SÜD product certification; assembled structures are engineered per project. Load tables run to EN 1999-1-1 on the spigot connection, with self-weight already deducted. Spans reach 18 m; the heavy QH40SA carries up to 3650 kg/m at a 1 m span.

Flat · FX25SA / FX30SA

Ladder truss for grids and infill.

The most compact sections - two chords in a ladder, 25 or 29 cm wide. Light and low-profile, the fit for lighting grids, scenic infill, banner supports and short spans to 6 m. FX30SA carries up to 935 kg/m at a 1 m span and integrates with the square 29 cm system.

Triangular · TX25SA / TX30SA / TH30SA

Long reach, low profile.

Three chords in a triangle for long spans with a discreet footprint. The slim bent-profile diagonals keep it visually quiet for arches and feature spans to 16 m. TX is the standard line; TH adds the anti-torsion Heavy build where the load climbs.

Square · QX25SA / QX30SA / QX40SA

The workhorse of the range.

QX30SA balances weight, size and load better than anything else here - the default for overhead rigging, exhibition and touring, spanning to 18 m. Step up to QX40SA for higher payloads and tower duty, or down to QX25SA where weight and budget lead.

Best forTowers, ground support
Square Heavy · QH30SA / QH40SA / Z

Maximum payload and tower duty.

The Heavy line: thicker Ø48 x 3 mm tubes and an anti-torsion build for maximum payload, long spans and tower truss. QH40SA carries up to 3650 kg/m at a 1 m span. The Z central-chord variants are built to centre-hang LED walls and balanced loads.

Alloy6082 T6
Best forHeavy spans, compact footprint
Rectangular · RH40SA

High capacity, compact footprint.

One plated rectangular section - 40 cm deep for capacity, 29 cm wide to stay compact. High performance where a square 40 would be too bulky. Junctions are handled by the Heavy-Duty Dado box system, in any direction.

FAQ

Questions
about truss & structures.

If your question isn't here, send your span and load - we'll come back with the right series and a load plan.

The X series is the standard line; the H series (TH, QH and RH) uses thicker main tubes and an anti-torsion design for higher load capacity and longer spans at the same nominal size. Both share the same die-cast end plate, so X and H families connect and mix within one structure. Pick H where the payload, the span or a tower demands it.
Both use the same end plate. The double-cone spigot (QXFC quick-fit) is the fastest to assemble and delivers the full published load rating, so it is the default for touring and temporary rigs. The concealed bolt (QXSM) hides inside the section for clean, snag-free sides, which suits permanent and architectural installs; it carries a reduced rating, so we size it against your load.
It depends on the series and how the load sits. As a guide, square truss spans to 18 metres, and at a 1 metre span the heavy QH40SA carries up to 3650 kg/m uniformly distributed. Every series has full per-span load tables to EN 1999-1-1, based on the spigot connection with truss self-weight already deducted. Send us your span and load and we will return the right series with the numbers.
Yes. TSA stocks the full LITEC X and H end-plated range - 13 series across flat, triangular, square and rectangular - plus corners, the Dado box system and connection hardware. We supply and support it nationally, and integrate it with our chain hoists, controllers and rigging hardware.
Yes. Custom circles, arcs and ellipses are made to your geometry, with a minimum 1 metre radius and arc segments to 4 metres. Towers and ground-support roofs are built from the square H line on ballast bases, and the Dado multi-way box system makes 90-degree junctions in any direction. Tell us the structure and we will engineer it with a load plan.
The most common package is 6 m of tri truss - two 3 m or three 2 m TX30SA lengths joined with connection kits - flown on two 500 kg EXE Rise chain hoists with 10 m of chain, truss lifting brackets, 2 t girder clamps, motor cables and a basic 4-way controller with pendant. Step up to QX30SA square truss and the same package stretches to 9 m spans on 1000 kg hoists. For freestanding and outdoor structures, we quote LITEC pre-engineered ground-support structures, including sloping roofs engineered for wind. Tell us the venue and the load and we will spec the package.
