The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is an extreme-duty, extra-long lifting component engineered for the most demanding professional rigging applications, featuring a substantial 30-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 maximum vertical clearance between the truss and its overhead rigging point, such as in arenas with high catwalks, large convention centers with vast ceiling heights, or for creating exceptionally deep, multi-tiered truss designs with dramatic visual separation. The 30-inch drop provides the necessary space to navigate significant architectural obstacles, bridge over other flown elements, or position truss at a very specific trim height far below the venue structure. 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, enabling meticulous leveling and compensation for substantial variations in the overhead structure without adjusting the primary motors.

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 immense 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 exceptional 30-inch length is engineered with significant cross-sectional strength and rigidity to resist bending and torsional forces, ensuring the truss bundle remains stable and correctly oriented. 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 extra-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.
