10 ft sections · base plates · compatible connections
Build the shape.Verify the system.
Rental requests for 10 ft aluminum box-truss sections, compatible base plates and connection hardware—from equipment-only cross-rental to a coordinated event structure with a qualified rigging provider.
NOMINAL 10 FT SECTION
Length is only one specification
Ten feet long.
System-specific everywhere else.
In the U.S. event market, ask for a “10 ft box truss” or “10-foot square truss section.” Then identify the exact manufacturer or compatible family, outer profile, chord and brace construction, connection method, finish and current documentation.
The supplied image is presented as a plated, bolt-together box-truss reference. It does not confirm a brand, series, load table, hardware package or compatibility with a particular base plate.
ANSI/ESTA E1.2 addresses aluminum trusses, towers and associated components used in entertainment. This page organizes a commercial request; it does not perform span, load, deflection, stability, wind, ballast, anchoring or structural calculations.
Applications to quote
Straight sections.
Many configurations.
Each configuration changes the support, connection, stability and professional-review requirements. The equipment list follows the approved design—not the other way around.
Goalposts & backdrops
Freestanding or supported frames for banners, scenic elements and lightweight event finishes within an approved configuration.
LED & video support
Temporary video structures using documented display weight, attachment, cable path, access and support requirements.
Lighting positions
Horizontal or vertical lighting positions with the fixture schedule, cable, accessories and complete load case documented.
Truss totems
Vertical columns with compatible top and floor plates for approved lights, signs, monitors or scenic treatments.
Trade-show structures
Booth headers, brand portals and temporary frames working within show rules, fire lanes and exhibitor-service requirements.
Production grids
Connected structures using the specified corners, junctions, support plan, motors or towers and qualified oversight.

A compatible system
Six details
that cannot be guessed.
A ten-foot section and a large base plate do not define a safe structure. Every proposal must match the complete approved configuration.
Truss family
Manufacturer, series, outer profile, material, chord and brace construction, finish, labeling and actual unit condition.
Connections
Plated bolts or conical connectors, pins, clips, couplers, adapters and torque or assembly instructions for the exact system.
Base interface
Compatible floor plate, top plate, adapters, attachment pattern and orientation—not simply a plate with similar dimensions.
Configuration
Vertical, horizontal, goalpost, grid, flown or ground-supported arrangement with all corners, junctions and supports identified.
Loads & environment
Documented equipment, cable and accessory loads plus indoor or outdoor conditions, wind plan and operational restrictions.
Responsibility
Qualified people, venue approval, manufacturer data, engineering when required, inspection, installation plan and event documentation.

The footage shown below is nominal inventory only. It is not a span, load, stability or engineering calculation.
Current equipment requestSection and base quantities to be confirmed.
No structural approval is produced here.
Safety boundary
A base is hardware.
Stability is a design.
Never mix by appearance
Truss families, connectors, bolts, pins, plates and adapters are not interchangeable merely because dimensions look similar. Verify the exact authorized system.
Section length is not capacity
A 10 ft section does not establish an allowable span or load. Use current data for the actual manufacturer, series, supports, orientation and complete configuration.
Base size is not stability
Stability depends on geometry, center of gravity, loads, attachments, surface, ballast or anchoring, public access and environmental conditions.
Outdoor structures require a plan
Wind, weather monitoring, thresholds, evacuation, ballast, anchors, soil or pavement and local approvals require qualified project-specific review.
Inspection and qualified control
Damaged, modified, bent, cracked or incompatible components must not be improvised into service. Assembly, overhead work and regulated rigging require appropriately qualified control.
Frequently asked
Before
the first connection.
What should I call these sections in the United States?
“10 ft box truss” and “10-foot square truss section” are clear commercial terms. Add the exact manufacturer or system family, outside dimension, connection type and finish.
Is the pictured section definitely a particular brand or model?
No brand or series is published from the supplied image alone. The photo is used as a plated, bolt-together box-truss reference; identification and compatibility must be confirmed from the actual equipment and records.
Can I order bases by dimension only?
You can request a size class, but the final plate, coupler or adapter must match the exact truss family and approved configuration. A larger plate does not automatically create a stable structure.
Can GLMedia assemble a goalpost or LED support?
GLMedia can quote the equipment and may coordinate a qualified external rigging provider. Loads, geometry, support, ballast or anchoring, venue approval, insurance and professional responsibility must be defined before contracting.
What should I upload?
Send the layout, elevation, equipment and load schedule, exact truss family when known, base or connection requirements, venue rules, indoor/outdoor condition and target setup schedule.

The product image is a supplied reference. Manufacturer, series, profile, exact length, material, finish, connections, plates, hardware, condition, documentation, availability and price are confirmed in the written proposal. Licensed or regulated rigging work is assigned to an appropriate qualified provider when required.
