GRIFFIN 5ft Triangle Truss 6x6x6 Segment Extension - Extra Rigging

In this review the Griffin 5ft Triangle Truss segment is evaluated for live sound and lighting users who need an economical, modular section to extend an existing triangle truss system. The bottom line: it is a straightforward, medium-duty steel truss that gives crews a reliable 5 ft extension point for mounting cans and accessories, with the biggest selling point being its simple triangle pipe design that accepts C clamp mounting anywhere along the three sides.

Key Features

• Medium-duty steel construction: Provides a durable platform that will support typical stage light cans and accessories without excessive flex under normal loads.
• Triangle pipe design: Lets you place C clamp mounts on any of the three pipes so lights can be oriented and spread across the rig.
• Three mounting holes per end: Makes it easy to bolt this segment to another truss or fasten it to a wall or ceiling joist for fixed installations.
• 5 ft length and compact footprint: Adds a useful extension to a truss run while staying manageable for transport and installation.
• Lightweight shipping weight: At about 9 lb shipping weight, it is easier to carry and position than heavier concert-grade truss sections.

Who It's For

This truss segment is aimed at DJs, small venue technicians, and event rental companies who already use Griffin triangle truss or need a compatible 5 ft extension to mount light cans and audio gear. It suits setups that require flexible clamp placement and occasional reconfiguration rather than permanent heavy-load stage arrays.

Those who need heavy-duty touring truss for large concerts, or certified load calculations for complex flown systems, should look at heavier-duty or engineer-specified truss solutions. This product is best used where medium-duty capacity and convenience are the priorities.
