For any company that wishes to make an impressive visual impact at a trade show, choosing the right trade show booth truss is one, if not the most important considerations that must be made. Because of its fundamental purpose in securing product displays, posters, hardware and lighting systems in place, while at the same time allowing customers to freely wander around and inspect the products on display, the importance of choosing the correct trade show booth truss cannot be emphasized too much.

Trade show truss systems are mobile, efficient and vary is sizes from as small as 10 foot square to twenty foot square and can be larger if required. All trade show truss systems are collapsible and can be reduced in size by 75% which make it easy to transport to different venues. A typical truss system is five to six inches in width which if more than wide enough to ensure stability while being light enough for easy adjustment and transportation.

Trade show display trusses are available in an array of different shapes. Even if you only need a single wall to hang posters on with a table for brochures and business cards sitting in front of it, you can still choose your wall from a variety of shapes. It might just be a straight line; however, it could also be a wavy line, a semi-circle, or a zigzag line. How about designing a combination of all three?

Custom trade show booth trusses are used for large booths. They require curves, base plates, walls, brackets, and shelves for items like hardware and literature. They can be quickly assembled to make an excellent display. To further improve the display area, added mounts surrounding the truss can support plasma displays, LCD units, and projectors. Folding furniture for the convenience of potential clients can be added, such as small tables and chairs, so that they can view your presentations more comfortably.

However, if you wish to purchase a trade show booth truss, you do need to design the structure completely from the scratch. Many suppliers provide a wide range of ready made kits in different shapes. Some of the most common shapes are squares, octagons, an 'X' configuration with an optional circle, arches and center bars. Optional features for these displays include raised ceilings, laptop stations and doubled decked displays.

To help highlight and guide potential customers to the most important aspects of the trade show booth, spotlights may also be mounted on the trade show display truss. Each spotlight can be switched on or off, rotated and swiveled according to need. Along with all of the basic parts and mounts, there is another important component that has yet to be mentioned. This is the packing crate. Without this vital piece of equipment, your display system risks being damaged, scratched or even broken altogether, due to unforeseen mishaps that occur during transit.
