The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, adjustable rigging component engineered for the precise and secure overhead suspension of large-scale truss systems. Featuring an 18-inch length, a one-ton load capacity, a versatile multi-hole adjustment pattern, and a durable silver finish, this pick is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional touring, theatrical, and permanent installations. The extended 18-inch drop provides significant clearance between the truss and the rigging point, which is essential for avoiding interference with mounted equipment, accommodating large shackles and hardware, and achieving specific trim heights in high-ceiling venues or complex multi-level rigs. The multi-hole design, with its series of precisely spaced attachment points, allows riggers to select the optimal shackle position for fine-tuning the vertical hang point. This enables meticulous leveling of truss grids and compensation for minor variations in overhead structure heights without adjusting the primary motors or rigging.

Constructed from high-tensile forged steel or aluminum, the pick is built to withstand the dynamic forces and static loads inherent in flying heavy lighting arrays, speaker clusters, and video walls. The one-ton (2,000 lb) working load limit provides a substantial safety factor, instilling confidence in the assembly's integrity. The silver finish, typically a plating or anodizing, offers corrosion resistance and high visibility in low-light backstage environments. The top of the pick is engineered with a mounting clamp specifically contoured to attach securely to the chord of Mega-Truss, ensuring a direct and slip-free load path. The combination of extended length, multiple adjustment holes, and a rated capacity makes this pick an exceptionally adaptable and reliable tool for achieving precise rigging outcomes in variable conditions.

This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging applications where precision and safety are paramount. It is a cornerstone of the ground-rigging methodology, allowing crews to completely assemble and cable truss segments on the ground before attaching the picks and lifting the entire bundle into its final position—a practice that drastically reduces work-at-height risks and accelerates load-in. The 18-inch length with multi-hole adjustability is particularly valuable for system integrators and production companies working across diverse venues, as it provides the flexibility to achieve perfect leveling and alignment regardless of architectural inconsistencies. For rental houses, using a clearly rated, versatile pick like this is critical for risk management and asset protection, ensuring safe, code-compliant installations that meet the exact specifications of any production design.
