About the The Light Source Mega-Truss Dolly for two 16" truss (32" Long), Silver
The Light Source Mega-Truss Dolly for two 16-inch diameter truss sections is a heavy-duty transportation and storage cart engineered for the professional handling of large-format trussing. Its silver powder-coated steel frame provides durable protection against the impacts and abrasion encountered in demanding touring and warehouse environments. Designed to securely hold two sections of 16-inch truss in a parallel, horizontal bundle with a combined length of 32 inches, this dolly transforms the cumbersome task of moving these heavy, awkward items into a straightforward rolling operation. The frame is precisely contoured with cradles that match the truss curvature, preventing rolling and shifting during transit and protecting both the truss's powder-coated finish and its attached Mega-Couplers from damage. This specialized equipment is critical for stagehands and road crews, as it minimizes physical strain, reduces the risk of injury, and safeguards valuable inventory during load-in, load-out, and warehouse movements.
The dolly's robust construction is based on welded steel tubing, with strategic bracing to handle the dynamic loads encountered when moving over uneven floors and truck ramps. The 32-inch overall length is an exact match for the two truss sections, creating a compact, balanced unit that is easy to maneuver. Mobility is provided by four heavy-duty swivel casters, typically featuring locking brakes, which provide smooth rolling and the load-bearing capacity needed for the substantial combined weight of the truss and any pre-rigged equipment. The low-profile design ensures a low center of gravity, which is essential for maintaining stability and preventing tip-overs when navigating tight corners or inclines. The silver finish not only offers a professional appearance but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for various venue environments.
This dolly delivers significant operational efficiencies for production companies, rental houses, and touring crews. It enables the industry best practice of ground-rigging, where lighting fixtures, cabling, and rigging hardware are fully assembled onto the truss while it is securely held on the dolly. The entire pre-configured bundle can then be wheeled into position and flown, drastically reducing the time technicians spend working at height and accelerating the entire load-in process. For logistics and storage, the dolly organizes and protects the truss, making inventory management simpler and space utilization more efficient. By preventing floor drag and impact damage, it directly extends the service life of the expensive truss investment. This dolly is an essential tool for maintaining a safe, fast, and damage-free workflow in large-scale event production.
