The Light Source Universal Truss Pick in Black Anodized finish is a versatile load-rated anchoring point designed for safe and efficient rigging from box and triangular truss systems. This component provides a secure, dedicated attachment hardware that bolts directly to the chords (the long side rails) of aluminum truss, transforming a smooth truss section into a reliable pick point for suspending lighting fixtures, speakers, cable bundles, or other production equipment. Its universal design typically features adjustable or adaptable mounting holes to accommodate the varying bolt patterns and chord widths of different truss manufacturers, making it a highly flexible solution for rental houses and production companies with mixed inventories.

Constructed from high-strength aluminum with a durable black anodized coating, the truss pick is engineered to distribute lifting forces appropriately across the truss structure. It installs using multiple bolts that clamp firmly onto the top or side chord, creating a connection that is significantly safer and more secure than simply wrapping a sling around the truss, which can cause point loading and potential damage. The pick itself usually incorporates a large, smooth-bored eye, a forged lifting pin hole, or a hefty welded tab with a hole, providing a clean interface for shackles, carabiners, or the pins of Mega-Couplers and other rigging hardware.

This tool is fundamental for professional rigging practices, promoting both safety and organization aloft. By using dedicated truss picks, riggers can ensure loads are attached at engineered points, maintaining the truss's structural integrity and preventing unsafe side-loading on other components. The black finish reduces light reflection and maintains a low-visibility profile. Whether used to create a main lift point for a motor or as multiple secondary points for distributing fixture weight, the Universal Truss Pick is an essential piece of hardware for building safe, compliant, and efficiently loaded overhead systems in live events, theatrical productions, and permanent installations.
