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 silver 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 bundle. This adjustability is essential for achieving a perfectly level grid, especially when dealing with uneven building structures or when precise sightlines are required, enabling minor corrections without needing to adjust the primary motor or rigging hardware above.

Constructed to meet rigorous safety standards for overhead lifting, the pick is forged or machined from high-tensile materials capable of withstanding both dynamic forces during hoisting and substantial static loads during performance. The one-ton (2,000 lb) working load limit provides a significant safety factor for suspending heavy, valuable loads. The silver finish, typically a plating or anodizing on steel or aluminum, provides corrosion resistance and high visibility, making the component easy to identify and inspect in the complex environment of a rigging grid. The top of the pick is engineered with a mounting clamp specifically contoured to attach securely to the chord of a 12-inch Mega-Truss, ensuring a slip-free connection. This combination of specific length, adjustable holes, high capacity, and durable finish makes it an exceptionally versatile and reliable tool for precise overhead rigging.

This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging applications in concert touring, theatrical productions, corporate events, and fixed installations. It enables the industry best practice of ground-rigging, where entire truss segments are fully assembled and cabled on the ground before the picks are attached and the bundle is lifted into position. This methodology drastically reduces the amount of dangerous work performed at height and accelerates the overall load-in process. 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.
