DURA TRUSS 2 THUMBS UP!

Hey mike, I'm thinking about the this truss but I need to mount at least four 35lb moving heads. I know it has a 300lb capacity but I want something rock steady. I'm also not sure how to secure 35lb moving heads to 1/2 truss safely.Let me know what kind of lighting your using and the amount of weight your throwing on there. Does the stand ever sway back and fouth like the plastic trusses do when there's close to weight capacity?

hey, I've mounted 4 dj spot 250's on it, 6 dj scans, 4 par 38's, 2 snap shot 2's, a dimmer and relay pack and some various other little effects on it and i've been extremely happy with it. When it's fully extended and the moving heads are all going the truss sways a little bit but it's very minimal. I was also concerned about mounting the moving heads on the stand when i first got it and i literally tried to tip the stand over to see how sturdy it really was and i found it was quite difficult to throw the stand off balance. Like I said for the price I think it's the best stand your going to find. if you have any other questions i'd be happy to answer them if i can. -Mike

to answer your question about the 35 lb moving head fixtures i'm not sure what fixture you have but typically you can use two clamps to support the weight depending on the hanging style of the fixture.

I'm confused. The Duratruss used Crank-2's. The load rating on the crank-2's is 70lbs. This only adds up to 140lbs. Did they beef them up for the duratruss or am I missing something. If they actually hold 150lbs each I would really like to use a pair and get square aluminum truss.

i'm not sure what the load rating is for each stand but i would venture out and say 150 because i know the dura truss system supports 300 lbs...
