Load table has been prepared in accordance with UNI ENV 1999-1-1 (Eurocode 9).
TÜV certification has been made in accordance with DIN 4113 (except for model FX25S).
When calculating the allowable loads, it is assumed that the load is suspended from the bottom chord and the truss is supported from the top chord at each end.
The values shown in the table are the allowable static loads that can be applied to the truss. This is the live load or the payload.
The self weight of the truss has been taken into account when calculating the values in the table.

Dado
Managing corners and crosses is one of the biggest problems structure installers and hirers have to face. Dado is the answer.
It is devised around a six-faced die-cast cube and may be put together in multifarious ways leaving the user conplete freedom. Whith Dado it is no longer necessary to plan the purchase of the set standard corners: all you have to do is invest in a few basic modules which you can arrange as needed.
Each individual junction is assembled with reinforced tubes without welding. The connection between DADO and the trusses is the quick-fit type, with special steel half-spigots. Their assembly and alignment is made easy with an assembly template.
