About the The Light Source Mega-Truss Dolly for one 20.5" truss, Silver
The Light Source Mega-Truss Dolly for a single 20.5-inch truss section is a heavy-duty, specialized transportation cart engineered for the secure and efficient handling of the largest common truss profile used in major stage productions. Its silver powder-coated steel frame provides robust protection against the demanding conditions of touring, warehouse handling, and frequent load-ins. This dolly is designed to cradle a single, large-diameter 20.5-inch truss segment securely, preventing it from rolling or sustaining impact damage during movement. Given the substantial weight and size of this truss, a dedicated single-unit dolly ensures optimal stability and balance, making it far safer and more practical to move than attempting to handle the truss manually or with improvised equipment. The design focuses on providing a perfect fit for the truss profile, with contoured supports that hold it firmly in place while protecting the attached Mega-Couplers.
The dolly's construction prioritizes strength and ease of use for a heavy, singular load. The welded steel frame is built to handle the concentrated weight and potential dynamic forces encountered when moving over uneven surfaces. It is equipped with four industrial-grade swivel casters, often with locking brakes, that provide smooth 360-degree maneuverability and the necessary load rating. The low-profile design keeps the center of gravity as low as possible, which is critical for preventing tip-overs when navigating ramps or tight spaces. The silver finish not only offers a professional, cohesive look but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance. This single-truss configuration is particularly important for logistics, as it allows for the safe and organized movement of the largest truss pieces, which are often the backbone of major overhead structures.
This specialized dolly offers profound logistical and safety benefits for production companies and rental houses that utilize large-format trussing. It enables safe ground-rigging of individual large truss sections, allowing crews to mount heavy fixtures and run cabling on the ground before the truss is moved into position for flying. This dramatically reduces the amount of dangerous overhead work. In warehouse and truck packing scenarios, it organizes and protects these high-value assets, preventing damage from dragging or improper stacking. For tours and events relying on 20.5-inch truss, this dolly is an indispensable tool that streamlines workflow, protects capital investment, and enhances overall crew safety by transforming a major manual handling challenge into a controlled, wheeled operation.
