The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, extended-length lifting component engineered for the most demanding rigging applications, featuring a 20.5-inch length, a one-ton load capacity, a versatile multi-hole adjustment pattern, and a durable silver finish. This pick is designed for scenarios requiring extreme vertical clearance between the truss and its overhead rigging point, such as in high-ceiling arenas, convention centers, or for creating deep, multi-level truss designs with significant visual separation. The 20.5-inch drop provides the necessary space to navigate around architectural obstacles, other flown elements, or to achieve a specific, dramatic trim height in the stage picture. 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 adjustability is critical for achieving a perfectly level grid, especially when dealing with uneven building structures or when precise sightlines are required, enabling micro-adjustments without altering the primary rigging above.

Constructed to meet the highest 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 critical safety factor for suspending heavy arrays of LED panels, concert lighting, and loudspeaker clusters. The silver finish, typically a plating or anodizing, offers corrosion resistance and high visibility for inspection. 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 20.5-inch length is engineered with exceptional cross-sectional strength and rigidity to resist bending and torsional forces. The combination of extreme length, multi-hole adjustability, and a rated capacity makes this pick an exceptionally versatile and reliable tool for achieving precise rigging outcomes in the most variable and challenging venue conditions.

This pick is indispensable for system integrators and production companies executing major tours, large-scale permanent installations, and spectacular live events where spatial design and precision are paramount. It enables the creation of dramatic vertical space within a rig, allowing for visually striking, layered looks. It is fundamental to the ground-rigging methodology, where entire truss segments are fully assembled and cabled on the ground before these long picks are attached and the entire assembly is lifted into its final, deep-hung position—a process that maximizes safety by minimizing work at height. For rental houses and large-scale production providers, having this extended, adjustable pick length in inventory is crucial for adapting to the vast and varied architecture of global venues, ensuring that even the most ambitious creative and technical rigging plans can be executed safely, precisely, and reliably.
