Manufactured by Prolyte Group, the H40R Truss has three sided webbing with thicker braces on the bottom side allowing easy mounting of fixtures- allowing weight to be evenly distributed on the truss, and avoiding the complications getting hook clamps in the correct chord spacing along the sides of the truss. The H40R also has a clever spigot orientation to enable the truss to be easily fitted together on the floor before rigging.
Jon French, head of rigging at IPS who took the H40R out on its first job, says, "This new truss looks really neat when it is rigged- ideal for the corporate world." The truss was first used for an awards event in a central London hotel, produced by AV Network, and received positive feedback from production manager Karl Saunders.
IPS stocks of Prolyte H40R in black include the reconfigurable Box corners along with straight sections in 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m & 4m lengths. The truss fits in with the IPS truss inventory, which includes Litestructures Astralite, Prolyte S52SV, S40T, H40V, H30V, H30D & H30L Truss ranges, along with a large selection of corners, base plates and accessories.
IPS has strong links with the Prolyte Group, as a hire partner and rental stockist of many of its product lines - including one of the UK's largest rental stocks of the now ubiquitous LiteDeck aluminium framed staging system.
