Tomcat Zig-Zag Truss

Tomcat’s new Zig-Zag Truss combines the advantages of Pre-Rigged Truss (efficient truck packing and speedy load-in/load-out) with a hinging spigot design that lets users fold the truss system over itself for efficient storage/travel and trouble-free unfolding via vertical lift and pinning applications. The strength found in Zig-Zag truss comes from its 2-by-3/16-inch chords, 1.5-by-1/8-inch small horizontal tubes, 2-by-1/8-inch large horizontal/vertical tubes and 21-by-1/8-inch diagonals. It also features steel spigots, 1/4-inch end plates and 2-inch round studs for extended stability and durability, conserving truck space and saving time for end-users.
