Spigoted truss

Answer 3

A spigoted truss is a type of heavy-duty truss system characterized by its unique connection method using steel spigots.

Key features and benefits:

• Fast and easy assembly: Unlike traditional bolt-together trusses, spigoted trusses use pins inserted into pre-welded sleeves (spigots) at the end of each tube.
• The steel spigots provide a secure and rigid connection with minimal deflection, even under heavy loads.

Question 4

Grapple

Answer 4

The Grapple allows you to make inline 90 degree connections between similar trusses anywhere along a perpendicular primary truss. The load capacity of the inline truss will carry 75 percent of the manufacturer’s load rating. The primary truss must have point load calculations taken into consideration. The secondary trusses must be supported at both ends. Cantilevering of truss is not recommended.
