Big Boys Toy Truss (BBT): A Revolutionary Truss System
The Big Boys Toy Truss (BBT), manufactured by H.O.F. Alutec Metallverarbeitungs GmbH & Co. KG, is making waves in the industry with its exceptional features and advantages. This innovative truss system stands out for its high load capacity, large wingspans, and space-saving transport.
The BBT's modular design and material quality are key to its success. Engineered for strength and reliability, the system uses robust materials and innovative structural configurations. This allows for large wingspans without compromising stability or load capacity.
The optimized geometry for load distribution is another defining aspect of the BBT. The truss design incorporates efficient geometric forms, such as triangular frameworks, that distribute loads evenly. This ensures the truss can handle high dynamic and static loads safely.
The lightweight yet strong components of the BBT are another crucial factor. The use of advanced alloys or treated metals combines low weight with high tensile strength, allowing large spans to be achieved without excessive weight. This facilitates easier handling and transport.
The compactness and foldability of the BBT elements are significant advantages. They are designed to nest or fold into compact sizes, reducing the volume and space required during transport and storage.
Ease of assembly and disassembly are also priorities with the BBT system. It includes connection features, such as quick-lock pins or clamps, that allow for fast setup and breakdown. This saves time and reduces labor costs, particularly beneficial for temporary or mobile applications.
The BBT is bolted together using the patented Ripp Lock Nut System, eliminating the need for welds. This feature not only streamlines the assembly process but also allows for cost and time savings, even at the venue. It also facilitates quick damage fix capabilities, ensuring the truss can be back in action as soon as possible.
The BBT truss can save 44 tonnes of CO2 during an average European tour to 30 cities due to its small transport volume. It can be dismantled quickly and easily, allowing for 150 metres of truss to be loaded and transported in just one truck.
The BBT is versatile and can be used for large open air stage roofs, indoor concerts and events, pedestrian bridges, cable bridges between buildings, and for attaching signage or transferring cables or pipes on motorways. It is currently exhibited at this year's Prolight + Sound in the ProStage area in hall 12.0, booth D47.
Special lengths for the BBT can be manufactured upon request, making it a flexible solution for various applications. It can be powder-coated in black, adding a sleek aesthetic to any setup.
With its high load capacity, large wingspans, and space-saving transport, the Big Boys Toy Truss from H.O.F. Alutec Metallverarbeitungs GmbH & Co. KG is a game-changer in the truss industry. Its proprietary innovations, such as the Ripp Lock Nut System, further enhance its performance and make it a sought-after choice for demanding industrial, staging, or construction environments.
- In the industrial sector, the finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations applied during the manufacturing process of the BBT enhances its performance, ensuring its capabilities match the financial investment.
- Embracing advancements in technology, the Big Boys Toy Truss (BBT) incorporates smart solutions like wireless load monitoring and remote system control, aiding in the finance-efficient management of truss structures.
