About the The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick, 12" Truss, 1-Ton, Black Anodized
The Light Source Mega‑Truss Pick for 12″ Truss, 1‑Ton, Black Anodized is a purpose‑built rigging pickup bar used in professional staging, lighting, and live‑event production to provide a secure suspension point on square truss sections that are approximately 12 in across. Crafted from solid, CNC‑machined 6061‑T6 aluminum, this pickup bar is engineered to wrap around the truss chord tubes and deliver a predictable, strong attachment point for hoists, shackles, or lifting hardware. The black anodized finish enhances corrosion resistance and minimizes glare, making it well suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where a professional appearance and rugged performance are required.
This pickup bar features two precision milled pockets with pivoting links that clamp around the truss tubes using 1/2″‑13 steel swivel eyebolts and solid aluminum wing nuts. These pivoting links not only secure the bar tightly to the truss but also help ensure that loads are evenly distributed and that the rigging point stays stable during lifting and suspending operations. The design includes a top rigging hole and a bottom rigging hole, giving technicians flexibility to attach a shackle, motor hook, or chain hook above the truss while also optionally suspending additional load below when needed.
Engineered with a 1‑ton working load limit for the truss itself and an additional 1‑ton capacity for loads suspended below, this Mega‑Truss Pick supports substantial loads when installed according to industry standards and safety practices. Its overall dimensions provide a compact yet robust solution that maintains clearance and balance without adding significant weight to the truss. The product does not fit Global or Applied truss profiles, so compatibility with specific truss systems should be verified before use.
