Cedarslink 2 Meter 8x8 Black Trussing Box Truss Section - Heavy Duty

In this review of the Cedarslink 2 Meter 8x8 Black Trussing Box Truss Section, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, heavy duty truss for DJs, small production rigs and installers who need a sturdy, modular run without complicated hardware. The reviewer finds it most valuable for straightforward staging and lighting assemblies because it arrives as a solid metal 2 meter section that connects quickly to other pieces using the included connection bolts. The unit's 20 LB weight and square 8'x8' profile make it predictable to handle and integrate into common truss configurations.

Key Features

• 2 meter length: The 6.56 ft total length provides long runs with fewer joins, simplifying setup for temporary stages and club rigs.
• 8x8 square profile: The 8 in by 8 in cross section offers a familiar footprint that fits standard accessories and mounting patterns used in lighting and audio rigs.
• Heavy duty metal build: The robust construction gives consistent rigidity under equipment loads and repeated use in touring or rental scenarios.
• Quick bolted connections: Included connection bolts let the section join to other trusses in seconds, reducing assembly time on site.
• Multi-directional attachment: Fixtures and other trusses can connect on multiple faces, adding layout flexibility for bespoke arrays.

Who It's For

The Cedarslink 2 Meter truss suits professional DJs, small production companies and venue technicians who need a dependable, modular truss section that is easy to bolt together and reposition. Its 2 meter span and square 8 in profile make it a good choice for building stage perimeters, lighting bridges or speaker mounts where predictable strength and simple connections matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing ultra-lightweight, aircraft-grade touring truss for frequent air travel or buyers who require integrated hardware like quick-release pins or specialty connectors; this product is a straightforward bolted section focused on durability and basic compatibility.
