A major boost to the new Layher range of event system scaffolding is being announced by the company with the introduction of a new truss system. The development brings distinct advantages to everyone involved in the event sector and, because it offers high load capacities with a fast rigging design, Layher believes it will open up new application opportunities.

Constructed around a four cord configuration, a choice of dimensions and loading capabilities is available with only a few additional components then required – such as corner pieces, connecting units and base plates. The design is fully compatible with both system and tube and fit scaffolds that make it ideal for a range of application environments. Those involved with the construction of structures from exhibition stands and display units to concert stages and presentation areas are set to gain from this latest development from Layher.

“A choice of truss dimensions is available in lengths between ½ metre and 5 metres which can be assembled to provide point loads up to 2078 kg and uniform loads up to 610 kg/m,” points out Layher UK’s Managing Director, Sean Pike, “whilst two and three way corner pieces and the connector add a degree of flexibility which will be recognised by everybody in the industry.”

Recognition for this latest addition to the range has already been achieved at the Showman Show in Newbury. Here, the new Layher Event Truss provided lighting gantries above a staged area that was at the heart of a prize-winning exhibition stand erected by Acorn Event Solutions with Coopers Marquees. “We are obviously delighted to have contributed in this way and believe that the installation was an excellent demonstration of the versatility of the system and its suitability to a range of applications in the event industry,” concludes Sean Pike.
