Truss Systems – Stable Structures for Lighting, Banners & Special Builds

Truss systems by EXFAIR: aluminium lattice construction certified to DIN EN 15706, modular for lighting, banners & special structures at trade fairs.

Truss Systems – Stable Structures for Lighting, Banners & Special Builds

In brief

Truss systems are aluminium lattice structures that carry lighting, banners, LED walls and ceiling hangers on exhibition stands. EXFAIR plans, calculates and installs trusses to DIN EN 15706 – freestanding up to 12 m or as ceiling frames – and handles approval with the fair organiser; lead time 8–12 weeks.

Certified to DIN EN 15706 · Structural calculation for every build included · Aluminium lattice: reusable for many trade fair appearances · Freestanding towers up to 12 m height possible

Professional rigging and truss technology for exhibition stands of any size

Truss systems in exhibition stand construction are aluminium lattice structures that serve as the load-bearing framework for lighting, banners, LED walls, ceiling hangers and complex special builds. All EXFAIR truss systems are certified to DIN EN 15706 and structurally calculated for each deployment — a prerequisite for approval by the trade fair authority and organiser.

EXFAIR uses high-quality aluminium lattice truss systems individually adapted to each stand. Whether as freestanding truss towers up to 12 m in height, ceiling frames for suspending banners and lighting elements, or technical rigs for complex lighting and sound installations — our trusses are flexibly configurable and meet the highest safety standards.

Thanks to their modular design, EXFAIR truss systems are reusable and can be adapted for different stand sizes and hall configurations. EXFAIR handles planning, structural calculation, assembly and safe dismantling.

Applications of EXFAIR truss systems: Lighting rigs · Banner suspensions · LED walls · Ceiling hangers · Special structures · Sound & AV installations · Freestanding truss towers.

Costs and lead time

Trusses are quoted by linear metre, configuration and structural effort; a truss frame above a 30 sqm stand including structural calculation, assembly and lighting is in the low to mid four-figure range. Freestanding towers and rigs for light and sound are quoted per project. Lead time: at least 8 weeks, 10–12 weeks for suspension from the hall ceiling, because the venue has to check the structural calculation and release the rigging points. EXFAIR handles registration with the organiser.

Who truss systems are right for

Peninsula and island stands that need long-range visibility, stands with product lighting from above, stage and presentation areas with sound and lighting technology, and wherever ceiling suspensions are not permitted – then the freestanding truss carries banners and light.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Do I need venue approval for a truss?

Freestanding trusses up to the usual hall build height are mostly exempt; suspensions from the hall ceiling and tall towers must be submitted to the organiser with a structural calculation. EXFAIR prepares and coordinates the documents.

02

How tall can a freestanding truss be?

Up to 12 m, depending on hall height, floor load and ballast. The structural calculation is made individually for each configuration.

03

How much does a truss structure cost?

A truss frame above a 30 sqm stand including structural calculation, assembly and lighting is in the low to mid four-figure range; towers and rigs are quoted per project.

04

Can the truss carry light and sound?

Yes. Trusses are designed for spotlights, LED panels, loudspeakers and screens; the permissible load is defined in the structural calculation and observed during rigging.
