The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered lifting component designed for the safe overhead suspension of 12-inch diameter truss systems, featuring a robust one-ton load capacity, a versatile multi-hole adjustment pattern, and a durable black anodized finish. This 12-inch long pick serves as the critical, rated interface between the truss structure and the rigging chain or cable, providing a secure point for flying lighting arrays, speaker clusters, and other production equipment. The multi-hole design, with its series of precisely spaced attachment points along the pick's length, allows riggers to select the optimal shackle position for fine-tuning the vertical trim height of the truss. This adjustability is essential for achieving a perfectly level grid, especially when dealing with uneven building structures or multiple hanging points, and enables minor corrections without needing to adjust the primary motor or rigging hardware above.

Constructed from high-strength aluminum or forged steel, the pick is built to withstand the dynamic and static loads encountered in professional rigging environments. The black anodized finish on the aluminum body provides a hard, wear-resistant surface that offers excellent corrosion protection and a non-reflective, professional appearance suitable for both theatrical and permanent installations. The top of the pick is engineered with a mounting clamp or bolt pattern specifically contoured to attach securely to the chord of a 12-inch Mega-Truss, ensuring a direct and slip-free load path. The one-ton (2,000 lb) working load limit provides a substantial safety factor, instilling confidence in the assembly's integrity when suspending heavy, valuable loads overhead. The combination of specific length, adjustable holes, and rated capacity makes this pick a highly adaptable and reliable tool.

This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging applications in concert touring, theatrical productions, corporate events, and fixed installations. It facilitates the industry best practice of ground-rigging, where technicians can completely assemble and cable truss segments on the ground before attaching the picks and lifting the entire bundle into position. The multi-hole feature is particularly valuable for production companies working across diverse venues, as it allows them to quickly adapt to varying ceiling heights and structural conditions to ensure a perfectly aligned truss grid. For rental houses and system integrators, using a clearly rated, adjustable pick like this is a cornerstone of risk management, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, protecting both personnel and equipment, and delivering a professional, precise result for every client. It represents a fusion of safety engineering and practical functionality in the demanding field of entertainment rigging.
