Tomcat Box Truss

Since its beginnings in 1987, TOMCAT has embodied the spirit of innovation that was the genesis of the company. With a commitment to service and a reputation for producing products of the highest quality, TOMCAT has been established with customers worldwide. As the demand for TOMCAT products have grown, so too has the company, both in terms of physical plant and number of employees. What started with fewer than five people in a building of less than 5,000 square feet, has grown to a corporation of more than 140 people working in manufacturing plants all over the globe. The types of projects have also continued to evolve over the years. TOMCAT initially became known for providing trussing and related items to the touring rock-and-roll industry. The manufacture of portable outdoor roof systems was one of the company's early successes, and today continues to be a major part of the TOMCAT product line. TOMCAT has been fortunate to manufacture items for some of the major names in rock-and-roll. Through projects for customers like Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, U2, Janet Jackson, and others, TOMCAT was established as an industry leader. From cobra heads to large Jumbotron trolleys that others claimed couldn't be done. Those achievements succeeded in positioning the company as an innovator, and one that creates solutions for its customers. One of the keys to TOMCAT's success with custom projects is a fully staffed in-house engineering department that works with customers, designers and consulting engineering firms to maintain the highest standards of quality and safety. TOMCAT engineers each project to perform with "Strength Under Pressure".

Box Truss

Box truss are used in the construction of concert and theatre stages, designed to make the stage extremely strong and able to bear heavy loads that enable the stage to support various types of props and equipment that will be used during the performance. Also called a stage truss, the box truss has many other uses in addition to concert stages. These include electric power pylons, bridges, radio antennas and even in the fuselage of aircraft. The reason they are so popular is due to their design. Basically, a box truss is constructed of three chords (or more), which are supported by diagonal structural elements in order to increase their strength. The box truss is able to support far greater loads than what a concert stage without trusses would be able to, thanks to its diagonal supports. They are also more resistant to twisting, buckling and swaying in heavy winds. There are many different kinds of box truss materials available. One of the most common is the aluminium truss, as this kind of stage truss is lightweight (and so easier to put together) and relatively cheap, yet still able to support very heavy loads. Different load-bearing capabilities are often used to define a box truss. The 12x12 truss is the standard for a medium-duty truss, although larger sizes are available for a heavy duty truss. It’s also possible to find smaller, light-duty truss sizes.
