When the lights come up over the stage, guests see a clean, finished set and never the rigging behind it. The 2m Ladder Truss is the slim, silver framework that makes that happen, spanning a stage front, a backdrop or a bar so drapes, banners, signage and lighting have a straight, tidy line to hang from. It's the quiet structure behind conferences, awards nights, launches and band stages.
Ladder Truss Hire for Stages and Backdrops
A ladder truss is two parallel rails joined by diagonal bracing, so it looks light but gives a rigid, level line across the top of a set. Left on show, the silver finish reads clean and technical at a conference or product launch. When you'd rather not see it at all, a truss border or a drape along the front hides it completely and the room sees only the styling.
At 2m long, 29cm high and 5cm deep, it's a compact section for smaller stages, bars and exhibition backdrops, and our team will plan the truss layout around your stage size.
Truss Hire on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane
Use it as a:
- Header span across the front of a small stage
- Frame for a banner or logo sign at a conference
- Top line for drapes behind a band or DJ
- Rail over a bar or exhibition stand backdrop
- Lighting line above a dance floor
Build a Finished Stage Front
Start with a 2.44m x 1.22m stage piece on adjustable stage legs, wrap the edge in a black stage skirt and add illuminated LED Tivoli stage stairs at the side. Behind it, hang a white poly flat drape from a 3 stage adjustable upright, then finish the truss line with a black velveteen truss border or a white poly flat truss border for a softer look. Wash the backdrop in colour with an LED wall wash strip light or an LED strip light RGBWA+UV to match your brand colours.

Answers to your questions
How big is the 2m Ladder Truss?

Tell us what you’d like to hang, whether it’s lighting, a banner or drapes, and our team will plan how it’s rigged.
