The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, extended-length lifting component engineered for applications requiring substantial vertical clearance in professional rigging systems. With a length of 20.5 inches and a formidable one-ton load capacity, this silver-finished pick is designed for scenarios where truss must be suspended far below the venue's structural points, such as in high-bay warehouses, arenas with catwalks, or for creating deep, multi-level stage designs. The extended 20.5-inch drop provides the necessary space to navigate around architectural obstacles, other flown elements, or to achieve a specific visual depth and trim height in the stage picture. The silver finish, typically a durable plating or anodizing on high-strength steel or aluminum, provides corrosion resistance and high visibility, making the component easy to identify and inspect within the complex environment of a rigging grid.

Constructed to meet rigorous industry safety standards for overhead lifting, the pick is forged or machined from high-tensile materials capable of withstanding significant 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 top of the pick is engineered with a mounting clamp or bolt pattern that attaches securely to the chord of a Mega-Truss, ensuring a direct and reliable load path. The lower end features a large, reinforced shackle hole for standard rigging connections. The 20.5-inch length is engineered with considerable cross-sectional strength and rigidity to resist bending and torsional forces, ensuring the truss bundle remains stable and correctly oriented without undue sway. This combination of specific length, high capacity, and durable finish makes it a vital tool for precise and safe overhead rigging in the most ambitious productions.

This pick is indispensable for system integrators and production companies executing major tours, large-scale permanent installations, and spectacular live events where spatial design is a key component. 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 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 specializing in large-scale events, having this extended pick length in inventory is crucial for adapting to the vast and varied architecture of global venues, ensuring that creative and technical rigging plans can be executed safely, precisely, and reliably.
