Choose section lengths for the planned structure.
We help choose each section’s length, manufacturer, series, connection, finish and function to prepare a compatible assembly. If you already have parts, send their identification or photos. Matching outside dimensions do not make two systems interchangeable; we check documentation and connections before supplying the components.
5 ft box truss
A versatile length for towers, goalposts, stage sides and combinations with compatible longer sections.
8 ft box truss
Useful in ballrooms, hotels and load-in routes where a ten-foot piece can complicate doors, elevators and turns.
10 ft box truss
Efficient coverage for larger structures when the loading dock, internal route and approved design allow the section to be handled.

Thomas Truss 12×12
Owned James Thomas Engineering box-truss sections. Lengths, series, finish, connection type and available quantities are checked against the project and current records.
Global Truss components
Owned brand inventory. Exact family, outside profile, conical connectors or applicable hardware, lengths and availability are confirmed before quoting.
X-Pro and TAF USA truss
Available families for temporary production structures. The actual system is identified and kept with its correct sections, connections and supports.
TOMCAT truss
TOMCAT components for requests that match the available family. Equipment is not mixed with another brand because the outside size or appearance looks similar.

- 5052-H32 aluminum
- 11/16 in (17.46 mm) bolt holes
- Hardware verified against the current ModTruss Connection Guide
This is a spacer plate, not a truss section. The 6×6 size does not make it compatible with standard 12×12 truss. Official ModTruss sheet ↗ · 3D planning reference ↗
Compatibility rule: nominal size does not make different families interchangeable. Brand, series, profile, connection, hardware, orientation and documentation are verified before quote or installation. Published quantities are inventory references; date-specific availability is confirmed in writing.
Support, connections and LED deployment.
A complete structure also needs bases, cubes, hardware, transport, video-wall support and service access. Request these groups independently or as one coordinated system.
Small and large bases
Floor plates, top plates, adapters and compatible supports. Base size alone does not determine stability, ballast or load capacity.
Cubes and corner blocks
Components for goalposts, towers, corners and direction changes within Tyler or another confirmed compatible family.
Bolts, pins and hardware
Connection sets selected for the actual brand and series. Missing, mixed or unidentified hardware is not replaced by a similar-looking part.
ULF track, lift plates, carts and LED handling
Compatible GT-V options can include the ULF track and carriage, lift plates, turnbuckles, leg carts, façade fixture hangers and swivel rigging points. The actual accessory list is matched to the owned system, LED header or fixture and approved plan.

Tyler GT-V 14×24×120 simple-span reference.
Use these values to identify the Tyler reference and discuss the configuration you need. They come from the manufacturer cut sheet for repetitive use at 85%. Assembly capacity is determined using the complete documentation, the table conditions and the project’s technical review; individual values are not design approval.
| Simple span | UDL total | Center point load | UDL deflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 ft | 8,520 lb | 6,546 lb | 0.12 in |
| 20 ft | 6,380 lb | 3,191 lb | 0.76 in |
| 30 ft | 4,080 lb | 2,037 lb | 1.72 in |
| 40 ft | 2,880 lb | 1,432 lb | 3.10 in |

| 60 ft | 1,320 lb | 774 lb | 6.48 in |
Conditions that must stay with the table
- Supports vertical loads only, ladders vertical and no lateral loads.
- Simple span means supports at the ends only; static loads are applied at panel points and distributed evenly between ladders.
- Self-weight is included and maximum listed deflection is span/100.
- Values are based on the cited manufacturer standard references and reduced to 0.85 for repetitive use.
- Backbone chord and horizontal-member local point-load limits also apply.
- Continuous spans, negative bending, lift plates, ballast, anchoring, wind and the complete assembly require project-specific review.
Do not size a structure from this web table. Actual section condition, span, supports, load positions, accessories, dynamic effects, outdoor exposure, venue rules and qualified engineering or rigging review can change what is acceptable.
Choose the system by application.
We select the configuration around the loads, access, environment, venue rules, schedule and work you need. The same component can be used in different setups; we review each assembly for its application.

Ground-stacked LED: an alternative to ceiling suspension.
GLMedia owns support structures and original Unilumin ground-support components. For a compatible LED wall, the load is supported from the floor instead of requiring ceiling rigging points. Straight, panoramic and curved designs are evaluated according to the cabinet system and its approved support configuration.
Modular access and installation sequence
Splitting the support into modular components can simplify load-in through hotel corridors and service elevators. The largest loaded case, turns, doorway and elevator capacity still define the route. Compatible quick connections and planned work zones help organize assembly and concurrent tasks.
Support, stability and system compatibility
The screen, support, rear footprint, ballast where required and floor capacity are treated as one system. A ground-supported LED wall differs from a truss tower or a flown wall. Combining components from different brands or changing the shape requires compatibility checks and the appropriate structural design.
Does ground support mean GLMedia does not need to hang the screen?
Ground support allows a compatible screen to be installed without ceiling suspension once the assembly is approved. For InsightsEDU 2026 at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, GLMedia installed a straight 15 × 5 m screen using original Unilumin support. We can assess this option for your space, reviewing the compatible system and design for each size or curved configuration.
Start with the details you have.
Use this form to gather the components you are interested in and the work you need. We use that information to prepare the selection; engineering, wind, ballast, anchoring, span and deflection calculations, together with venue approval, are developed separately for the proposed setup.
Fields marked * are required to add a request to the cart. If the venue is undecided, write “To be confirmed”. You can choose “Not sure” for the environment and configuration and leave dimensions, loads and equipment family blank. We will review the missing details before quoting.
Prepare and copy your summary before opening Contact, then paste it into your message: the details entered here are transferred through that copy. You can use the same text to inquire by email. Adding a request to the cart lets you review the selection; sending the inquiry and booking equipment are separate later steps. Also choose the service option in the cart, which is saved separately from this form’s details.
Truss rental questions.
We help choose compatible sections, connections and supports for the setup you need.
Can different truss brands be connected?
We review the manufacturer, series, part identification, connections and documentation for the assembly you want to build. You can start by sending those details or photos of the sections you already have. A mixed-brand configuration requires specific technical support: fitting together or having the same outside dimensions does not demonstrate compatibility. When the combination is unsupported, we can assess components from a single compatible family.
What truss lengths does GLMedia stock?
The catalog includes 2, 5, 8 and 10 ft sections. Tyler 12×12 is confirmed in 5, 8 and 10 ft lengths; Thomas, Global Truss, X-Pro / TAF USA and TOMCAT length, series, connection and quantity are confirmed in writing for the requested date.
What is included in the Tyler 12×12 system?
The inventory reference includes plated sections, 12 cubes or corner blocks, 12 base plates, complete bolt sets and dedicated dollies. The final configuration is built from the approved geometry and load list.
What is Tyler GT-V 14×24 used for?
GT-V is Tyler's open-ended 14×24 video and fixture pre-rig. Its optional ULF track lets compatible LED headers or lighting fixtures travel and lock along an uninterrupted rigging point. Standard published lengths are 5, 8 and 10 ft. Every quote still identifies the exact sections, legs, track, carriage, accessories, loads and approved rigging method.
What is the MT-PL-SP-06-06-0050 ModTruss part?
It is a 6×6×0.50 in 5052-H32 aluminum spacer plate with 11/16 in holes. It is not a truss section, and its size does not establish compatibility with standard truss. The exact connection hardware is checked against the current ModTruss Connection Guide.
What is the difference between truss, LED ground support and hanging support?
Truss forms beams, towers, goalposts or grids. Ground support holds an LED wall from the floor using compatible support components and bases. Hanging support uses bumpers and lift points for a flown wall. They are different systems and do not replace one another without review.
Does GLMedia provide rigging?
GLMedia supplies equipment and can coordinate setup with qualified rigging professionals. Tell us what you want to suspend and share venue requirements or a drawing if you have them; we help gather any missing details. We plan the sequence for delivery, assembly, overhead rigging and any engineering review the project needs. When the venue requires its own contractor, we coordinate that work within the same sequence. The plan identifies the tasks, documentation and approvals needed before installation.
Can ten-foot truss fit in a hotel elevator?
The nominal ten-foot length alone does not answer that. The overall dimensions, transport position and space to turn into the elevator matter too. Send the access measurements listed below, plus photos of the approach to the elevator. We can then compare shorter sections or modular components without assuming that a different assembly has the same load capacity.
Does a large base automatically make a structure stable?
We select the base as part of the complete system: geometry, supports, loads, height, environment, ballast or anchoring, surface, manufacturer data and approved design. Tell us what the structure will carry and where it will be installed so we can assess the options. Increasing base size alone does not establish the assembly’s stability or capacity.
Can this equipment be used outdoors?
We can assess an outdoor configuration using the location, dimensions and equipment you want to install. We review the actual system and its documentation alongside the wind plan, ballast or anchoring, inspection, operation and venue approval. This lets us prepare a proposal for that setup; section availability is an inventory detail, while suitability for outdoor use is determined through the technical review.
Can I rent only sections, bases or hardware?
Yes, for qualified production and technical teams. Delivery, installation and strike, operation or a coordinated technical-production package may also be quoted. Equipment is released identified by family and compatibility.

Practical questions before you book
What measurements do you need for a service elevator?
Send the clear width and height of the door, the cabin width, depth and height, and its rated load. Include measurements or photos of the route from the loading dock: tight turns, ramps, thresholds and doors can stop a piece that would fit inside the elevator. We check the longest assembled component and the largest loaded case, including transport carts and projecting parts. Shorter truss sections may solve an access problem, but the connections and layout still need to suit the structure.
Who arranges badges and access for the technical crew?
We coordinate our crew details with the organizer or venue to submit credentials by their deadline. We check the service entrance, check-in point, working hours and unloading authorization. The event or security team approves the technical credentials, which provide work access and are separate from guest tickets.
Do we need a site visit before confirming the AV setup?
We can start with your setup idea, photos or any plans and equipment list you have. To develop a truss or LED support quote, we work with you on the plan view, elevation, dimensions, support positions and loads. If weights or venue rigging details are missing, we help identify them. When a site visit is useful, we check access, space and placement, agreeing on the purpose, timing and any cost in advance. We incorporate the findings into the project alongside the required structural calculations and venue approval.
