The Light Source Mega-Truss Dolly is a highly versatile transportation system engineered to efficiently handle two common yet differently scaled truss configurations, with the operational advantage of Mega-Couplers attached to the outside of the dolly frame. This silver-finished cart can securely transport either three sections of 12-inch diameter truss or two sections of larger 18-inch diameter truss, with both options creating a loaded bundle length of 36 inches. The external coupler placement is a key design feature that prioritizes accessibility and rapid workflow, allowing crew members to easily see, reach, and operate the couplers for linking truss sections directly on the dolly or for connecting multiple dollies together. This significantly streamlines the assembly process during ground-rigging. The silver powder-coated steel frame provides durable protection against the wear and tear of touring and warehouse use, while contoured cradles securely hold the chosen truss configuration to prevent rolling and shifting.

The dolly's adaptable frame includes specific support points for each setup. For the triple 12-inch truss configuration, the cradles hold all three sections parallel and stable. When configured for the dual 18-inch truss, different supports center and secure the heavier, larger-diameter load. The 36-inch overall length is a precise match for the combined truss sections, creating a balanced and compact unit. Mobility is provided by four heavy-duty swivel casters, typically with locking brakes, ensuring smooth movement and sufficient load capacity. The external coupler configuration means the connection points are immediately accessible, which can expedite building long truss lines by allowing crews to couple ends together without unloading. While offering slightly less lateral protection for couplers during tight maneuvers than inward-facing designs, the trade-off is greatly improved operational speed in fast-paced production environments.

This dual-capability dolly with external couplers offers significant logistical advantages for production companies and rental houses that value flexibility and efficiency. It enables efficient ground-rigging for two different truss types, allowing technicians to pre-assemble fixtures and cabling on the truss while it is secured on the dolly before wheeling the entire unit into position for flying. The external access is particularly useful for fast-paced touring or events where truss needs to be frequently reconfigured on the show floor. For warehouse and truck packing, it optimizes space and simplifies inventory management by serving multiple truss sizes with one cart. This dolly exemplifies a practical solution that balances coupler accessibility with robust transport, making it a valuable tool for handling diverse truss inventory in dynamic event production.
