Global truss systems are stronger than much of the aluminum trussing that was used in the past. That's because the trussing is made from higher-strength 6082-T6 extruded aluminum alloy, a material so strong, rigid and corrosion-resistant that it is used by the aviation industry for aircraft construction. In addition to being made from a stronger aluminum alloy, Global Truss products utilize a conical coupling system that offers a number of distinct advantages. For one, the conical shape of the couplers helps to maintain overall rigidity, especially at key stress points, which allows for more secure structuring - Read more!
