Truss Blocks
The truss blocks shown below allow you to create
beam structures of any height and with combinations
of different profiles. This allows large distances
to be overcome and heavy loads to be carried. They
can be used to build linear axis gantries, as well as
for exhibit construction, etc. Describe your application
to us and we’ll supply you with the right truss
along with the corresponding calculation.
