[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 22678, member: 67"] Re: Best square truss? Just a heads-up, regardless of what brand you buy... INSPECT EVERY WELD. A friend from another city had brand new, off the pallet truss from a MAJOR manufacturer that had passed factory inspections but allegedly only had tack welds on the gusset plates. There is currently a lawsuit pending over the results and gag orders for everyone involved... so that's all I can say (because that's all I was told). That firm is now an Applied dealer/user and has sold off or scrapped all their previous inventory at great cost. Applied has some interesting truss for heavy loads, the design was created in consultation with StagePro and Apex Stages... there is an I-beam *inside* each chord tube that is extruded as part of the tubing. I believe there is a patent application pending on either the design concept or the extrusion die... But this seriously ups the capacity of the truss. Applied also ships fast and has great technical assistance. Have fun, stay safe. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
