Truss and Rigging
Truss and rigging is a complex issue. We don't suggest that you come
up with your own order without our input, unless you already have experience
with it. Regardless, we will require proof of insurance, as well as a
waiver of liability to be signed at the time of rental. Click to view
our Sample
Insurance Form.
Some rental houses have staff
riggers. We however, state unequivocally,
that we are not riggers. When it is called
for, Cal Stage will be happy to refer you to a rigger, or in some cases, contract
with one for you. We do this for liability reasons; it allows us to keep
the price of equipment rentals down.
Our truss is manufactured by either
Tomcat,
Thomas Engineering, or Total
Structures, and for those in need,
we can provide certifications of various sorts for it. There is no visible
or functional difference between the three manufacturers in our rental stock. All
truss comes complete with rated nuts, bolts, and washers.
If you are looking for a self climbing Truss rig, please ask specifically for one; they are more complex, and we require either our own labor, or
labor certified by us for it's assembly.
