EventTruss™ is Britten's modular truss system for creating custom event structures that are portable, reusable, and built for brand activations, festivals, trade shows, sporting events, and experiential marketing. For more than 40 years, EventTruss™ has helped event teams create durable truss structures with custom graphics, lighting, and branding, all supported by Britten's in-house design, engineering, fabrication, and installation teams.
Every EventTruss™ is engineered around your venue, event goals, and structural requirements. Our team evaluates span lengths, attachment points, suspended loads, environmental conditions, and installation logistics to recommend the right truss configuration for your event.
Each EventTruss™ structure is engineered to safely support its intended equipment while accounting for balanced load distribution, connection points, and applicable engineering standards. For larger stages and outdoor structures, Britten can also assist with engineering documentation, permitting coordination, and other venue requirements to help streamline the approval process before installation begins.
What is an event truss?
An event truss is a modular aluminum structure used for stages, entrances, exhibits, hospitality spaces, and branded environments that can be assembled, dismantled, transported, and reused for future events.
Do you need permits or inspections for a truss project?
Requirements vary by venue and local jurisdiction. Many larger stage structures or outdoor truss installations require engineering documents, permits, or inspections. Britten can help coordinate those requirements as part of your project.
How much weight can an event truss hold?
Load capacity depends on the span, truss configuration, support locations, rigging method, and suspended equipment. Every truss project is engineered for its specific application rather than relying on standard weight limits.
The entire team at Britten is friendly and easy to work with! After submitting an order, I get an email, approve it and it's done. If I need changes, I send a new file, review, and it's done. Very easy process!
