How to Choose the Right Truss Size (TOURGO GUIDE)

Choosing the correct truss size is one of the most important steps in building a safe and professional stage or event structure. Whether for concerts, exhibitions, weddings, outdoor festivals, or LED screen installations, the right truss dimensions directly affect stability, load capacity, and overall project safety.

This TOURGO guide will help you understand how to select the most suitable aluminum truss size for different applications.

1. Load Capacity

Consider the total weight of:

  • Lighting fixtures
  • LED screens
  • Speakers
  • Decorations
  • Roof coverings

Heavier equipment requires larger and stronger trusses.


2. Span Distance

The longer the span, the larger the truss size required.

Under 5m 200×200mm
6–10m 290×290mm
10–16m 400×400mm
16m+ Heavy-Duty Truss

3. Indoor or Outdoor Use

Outdoor applications require:

  • Stronger truss systems
  • Better wind resistance
  • More stable support structures

For outdoor concerts and festivals, larger trusses are generally recommended.


4. Event Type

Event Type Recommended Truss
Exhibition Booth 200×200mm
