About the The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick, 400mm Multi-Hole, Mega-Truss Pick for 15.75 Truss, Silver
The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a precision-engineered, metric-specified lifting component designed for the safe overhead suspension of large-scale truss systems. With a length of 400 millimeters and a multi-hole adjustment pattern, this silver-finished pick is specifically calibrated for use with 15.75-inch (approximately 400mm) diameter Mega-Truss. The multi-hole design provides multiple, precisely spaced attachment points along the pick's length, allowing 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 compensating for minor variations in building structures or rigging points, enabling precise alignment without the need to adjust the primary chain motors or rigging hardware above. The silver finish, typically a durable plating or anodizing on high-strength steel or aluminum, provides corrosion resistance and high visibility for inspection within complex rigging grids.
Constructed to meet rigorous international safety standards for overhead lifting, the pick is forged or machined from high-tensile materials capable of withstanding both dynamic hoisting forces and substantial static loads during performances. Its design ensures a direct and secure load path from the truss chord to the flying hardware. The top mounting interface is engineered with a clamp or bolt pattern that attaches securely to the specific profile of the 15.75-inch Mega-Truss, ensuring a perfect mechanical fit that prevents slippage or rotation. The 400mm length is engineered to provide optimal clearance between the truss body and the rigging chain, ensuring unobstructed hook engagement and preventing interference with mounted fixtures or couplers. This combination of specific metric length, multi-hole adjustability, and truss-specific compatibility makes it an exceptionally reliable tool for professional rigging in global markets.
This pick is indispensable for advanced rigging in major concert tours, theatrical productions, and permanent installations utilizing this specific truss size. 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 work-at-height risks and accelerates the load-in process. The multi-hole feature is particularly valuable for system integrators and production companies working in diverse international venues, as it provides the flexibility to achieve perfect leveling regardless of architectural inconsistencies. For rental houses and crews, using a clearly rated, adjustable pick like this is critical for risk management, ensuring safe, code-compliant installations that meet the exacting specifications of any production design worldwide.
