TRUSSING
MILOS STEEL TRUSS The worldwide market for events is becoming larger every year as artists depend more on income via concerts, not to mention electronic dance music as a real upcoming force in live events. This market requires higher and higher loads, as well as taller and taller structures. To answer these demands, MILOS has designed a full range of steel trusses, towers and base sections. Through the use of very special steel alloys, trusses were developed that are able to handle an average of 2.5x more load at just double the weight compared to aluminium systems with the same dimensions and under the same deflection. In a newly dedicated part of its factory, MILOS produce these steel truss elements under TUV monitoring and according to EN1090. “When designing the MILOS range of steel truss, we considered many factors and requirements that needed to be addressed in the final products,” said Area Four Industries Technical Director, Norbert Tripp. “One of these came directly from MILOS clients, who had often expressed a desire for their mother grids to achieve the greatest possible clearance heights, especially in fixed installations. With our new ultra-high strength steel truss, even the smallest models are able to support a significantly higher load capacity than aluminium truss at much lower heights. You can imagine the range of new possibilities that have now opened up for our customers.” BENEFITS OF STEEL TRUSS: • Optimised weight to strength ratio • Optimised dimensions for packaging and/or nesting in trucks • Use of profiles with OD’s to suit scaff clamps 70
