The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a heavy-duty, extra-long suspension component engineered for applications demanding extreme vertical clearance in professional rigging systems. With a substantial length of 30 inches and a robust 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 arenas with catwalks, convention centers with high ceilings, or for creating deep, multi-level truss designs with significant separation between tiers. The extended 30-inch drop allows lighting and video truss to be positioned at specific trim heights that navigate around architectural obstacles, other flown elements, or to achieve a desired visual depth in the stage picture. The silver finish, typically a durable plating or anodizing on high-tensile steel or aluminum, provides corrosion resistance and high visibility for inspection and handling within complex rigging grids.

Constructed to the highest safety standards for overhead lifting, the pick is forged or machined from 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 end features a precision-engineered clamp or mounting plate that attaches securely to the chord of a Mega-Truss, ensuring a direct and reliable load path. The lower end is equipped with a large, reinforced shackle hole for standard rigging connections. The exceptional 30-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 extreme length, high capacity, and durable construction makes it an essential tool for the most ambitious and large-scale rigging designs.

This pick is indispensable for system integrators and production companies tackling 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, regardless of ceiling height or structural complexity.
