How to measure it
Record grid width, depth and trim height; tower count and footprint; roof, banner, lighting, PA and LED loads; floor or ground capacity; and access for assembly. The usable stage opening is smaller than the total system footprint.
Event structure guide · Updated September 2026
Ground-Support Truss System Malaysia.
Horizontal production grid carried by towers, bases, sleeve blocks and hoists instead of venue roof points.
What this structure is
Define the complete outcome first.
Ground support transfers a production grid into towers and foundations when the venue roof is unavailable or unsuitable. Sleeve blocks and hoists may be used to raise the assembled grid under a controlled erection method.
Horizontal production grid carried by towers, bases, sleeve blocks and hoists instead of venue roof points. It may be assembled from box, rectangular, triangular, ladder or another compatible profile according to the final structural concept; those profiles are not interchangeable by appearance.

How it operates
Towers, bases, outriggers, hoists and grid sections belong to one compatible arrangement. Outdoors, coverings and wind can create significant tower bending, so the project cannot be treated as an indoor grid with extra ballast guessed on site.
