Approximate Malaysia rental range
RM 2,000–RM 8,000+
A published Malaysian example lists a 10 × 10 ft box-truss structure at RM2,000. Larger grids, towers, motors, engineering and outdoor work move well beyond that starting point.

Safety boundary
Website dimensions are not load approval.
Allowable loads depend on the exact manufacturer and model, span, orientation, support condition, load position, connectors and complete structural arrangement. Multi-span grids, cantilevers, towers, roofs and outdoor structures require project-specific checking.
Prolyte guidance also calls for competent inspection after erection and repeated inspection while longer installations remain in service.

Straight pieces and common configurations include 0.5 m, 0.75 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m, 3.5 m, 4.0 m. Availability and a complete setup size must be confirmed for the event date.
How much does box truss rental cost in Malaysia?
A practical early setup range is RM 2,000–RM 8,000+. This is not a quotation: transport, crew, duration, supported equipment, access and site requirements can change the final amount.
Can box truss be used outdoors?
Outdoor use is considered only after the structure, site, ground, ballast, weather exposure and operating plan are assessed. A product name alone does not establish outdoor suitability.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the event date, venue pin, required width and height, indoor or outdoor condition, every item to be supported, setup window and clear photos of the installation area.
