The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, extended-length lifting component engineered for applications requiring significant vertical clearance and precise adjustment in professional rigging systems. With a length of 16 inches, a one-ton load capacity, a versatile multi-hole adjustment pattern, and a durable silver finish, this pick is designed for high-ceiling venues, multi-level truss grids, or installations where the truss must be suspended well below structural points to navigate obstacles or achieve specific sightlines. The multi-hole design, featuring a 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 critical for achieving a perfectly level grid, especially when dealing with uneven building structures or when precise alignment is required, enabling micro-adjustments without the need to alter primary motors or rigging points.

Constructed to meet rigorous safety standards for overhead lifting, the pick is forged or machined from high-tensile steel or aluminum capable of withstanding substantial dynamic and static loads. The one-ton (2,000 lb) working load limit provides a significant safety factor for suspending heavy arrays of lighting, speakers, and video panels. The silver finish, typically a plating or anodizing, offers corrosion resistance and high visibility for inspection within complex rigging grids. The top of the pick is engineered with a mounting clamp specifically contoured to attach securely to the chord of a Mega-Truss, ensuring a direct and reliable load path. The 16-inch length is designed with sufficient cross-sectional strength and rigidity to resist bending and torsion, ensuring the truss remains stable and correctly oriented. This combination of extended length, multi-hole adjustability, and rated capacity makes it an exceptionally versatile and reliable tool for achieving precise rigging outcomes.

This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging in major concert touring, large theatrical productions, corporate events, and permanent installations. It enables the industry best practice of ground-rigging, where entire truss segments are fully assembled and cabled on the ground before these extended picks are attached and the entire assembly is lifted into its final position—a process that maximizes safety by minimizing work at height. For system integrators and rental companies, having this adjustable, extended pick length in inventory is key to adapting to the unique spatial challenges of any venue, ensuring that truss can be flown safely, precisely, and at exactly the required height to meet both technical and creative specifications. It represents a fusion of safety engineering and practical functionality in demanding rigging environments.
