The use of TÜV Rheinland certified trusses is not just a matter of quality, but of safety in professional events. According to TÜV Rheinland, certification ensures that truss structures meet rigorous safety and performance standards. This is crucial for events that require the setup of lights, LED screens, and other heavy equipment.

Why choose TÜV Rheinland certified truss?
The ANSI E1.2-2012 standard establishes a safety factor of 5:1 for rigging, which is fundamental in events with truss structures. TÜV Rheinland certification ensures that trusses meet these standards, providing an additional guarantee of safety and reliability.
In our experience with over 200 annual events across 3 continents, we have seen that the use of non-certified trusses can lead to structural failures, especially in large-scale events. TÜV certification is an investment in peace of mind.
Technical specifications of Full-Stage truss
Full-Stage trusses are made from 6082-T6 aluminum, known for its high strength and lightweight properties. Available in sections of 30×30 cm, 40×40 cm, and 52×52 cm, they meet the demands of any professional event. TÜV Rheinland certification ensures that these structures are suitable for supporting significant loads, which is essential for the safe setup of LED screens and lighting equipment.
A common mistake we see is underestimating the importance of material and certifications in trusses. Without an adequate structure, the risk of collapse increases significantly.
Practical applications in events
According to Live Design Magazine, 68% of technical riders now specify the use of certified trusses to ensure the safety and stability of the setup. In corporate events and concerts, certified truss structures are essential for supporting large-format LED screens and complex lighting systems.
For example, the Adjustable Angular FS-A F34 from Full-Stage allows for precise angles in the setup, offering flexibility in design without compromising safety.
Selection criteria for trusses
According to IEC 60529, the IP65 rating guarantees protection against water jets, which is crucial for trusses used in outdoor events. When selecting a truss, it is vital to consider the event environment, the weight of the equipment, and the need for specific certifications.
The Screw Base Truss F34 from Full-Stage, for example, provides a stable and secure base, reducing the risk of structural failures in complex events.
