Prolyte Group to Showcase New Truss at PLASA

Prolyte says it has combined the best features of its top-selling trusses and merged them into something new. Eric Laanstra, one of the company's brand managers, frequently received inquiries for a smaller truss with a higher loading capacity and has masterminded a solution. With his team of engineers, he has designed the H40R, a rectangular standard H40 truss with a program of specifications based on the company's H30V, H40V and S36R truss.

The H40R has three-sided webbing. The thicker braces on the bottom side allow easy mounting of automated luminaires/moving heads and central loading, reducing the torsion effect resulting from one-sided loading in standard trusses.

The spigot orientation follows that of the company's S Series truss, allowing easy assembly while the truss is still on the floor.

The H40R measures 339mm high by 239mm wide. The diagonals are placed to allow room for a 30D truss to rest on the bottom chords.

The loading rate is comparable to the H40V, taking into account that, due to the three-sided webbing, lateral forces are limited.

The H40R is available in three standard lengths of 1, 2, and 3m, plus a box-corner.
