The Light Source Mega-Truss Pick is a critical rigging accessory designed to serve as a secure and dedicated lifting point for large-scale trussing systems. This specific model, engineered for 400mm (15.75-inch) square truss, provides a robust interface between the truss structure and the lifting hardware, such as chain motors or hoists. Its primary function is to distribute the lifting forces safely across the truss assembly, ensuring stability and integrity during aerial maneuvers. The pick is constructed from high-grade forged or fabricated steel, finished in a durable black coating, and is built to withstand the substantial dynamic loads encountered in theatrical, concert, and permanent installation rigging.

The design integrates seamlessly with the designated truss profile, typically clamping or bolting directly onto the truss corners or chords. Its geometry is precisely calculated to align the lifting force through the truss's center of gravity, preventing unwanted torsion or bending moments that could compromise the structure. The top of the pick features a heavy-duty, machined steel lifting eye or bail, which is rated for a specific working load limit and is compatible with standard shackles. This engineered connection point is the focal point for all suspended weight, making its integrity and correct application paramount for safety. The black finish not only offers a low-profile, non-reflective appearance suitable for stage environments but also provides a protective layer against wear.

In practical use, this pick transforms a section of truss into a self-contained lifting unit, allowing lighting arrays, speaker clusters, or scenic elements pre-mounted on the ground to be flown safely and efficiently into position. Its application is a fundamental step in professional rigging, requiring thorough inspection and adherence to load ratings. By providing a certified and reliable hard point, the Mega-Truss Pick enables complex overhead setups, facilitates quicker rigging changes, and upholds the highest safety standards. It is an indispensable tool for riggers, ensuring that heavy loads are managed with precision and control from the ground to their final position in the air.
