Description

8ft Aluminum Box Truss Rental Chicago

The 8ft Aluminum Box Truss is a 96-inch section of 12-inch square box truss: four silver aluminum chords tied together with diagonal bracing. It weighs about 51 pounds and joins end to end with other sections and corner blocks.

Truss is the frame behind a lot of event builds: vertical towers for lights or signage, goalpost frames over a stage or booth, entrance arches, and open frames that hold graphics and fabric. Combine it with shorter sections to hit an exact height or span.

Box truss comes in 2 ft, 3 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, 10 ft lengths. Connect runs with the 6-Way Silver Corner Block and stand towers on a 2×2 or 3×3 steel base. See all truss.

We deliver, set, and strike throughout Chicago and the suburbs, including McCormick Place, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, downtown hotels, and corporate campuses across Chicagoland.

FAQ

What can be built with box truss?

Towers, goalposts over a stage or booth, entrance arches, and frames for graphics, fabric and lighting.

Can truss be hung from the ceiling at McCormick Place?

Hanging anything from the hall ceiling is done by the show’s official rigging contractor, not by outside vendors. Ground-supported truss standing on steel base plates goes up with your booth during move-in; check your show’s booth height rules first.

Do you install it?

Yes. We deliver, assemble and strike the truss we rent.
