There are not many companies in the UK that produce these types of stands. The stands contain a few different elements so this guide should help to break everything down and give you a better idea of what truss stands are and why they could be the display solution for you.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What is a gantry truss stand?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gantry truss stand is a type of stand, mainly used for exhibitions, that can be <\/span>reconfigured to create different size walls or rooms. The stand is modular so pieces can be added or taken away, depending on the stand&#8217;s use. A unique feature of our truss stands is that they have pieces that fold so they can be easily assembled or disassembled with no tools required.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our truss system is made from an aluminium composite meaning it is lightweight but incredibly strong. These types of stands are often more affordable than other types of exhibition stands so creating larger spaces is a more cost-effective option with a truss system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Useful keywords to know:<\/b><\/p><p><b>Gantry: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a bridge-like or overhead structure\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Truss: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a framework typically consisting of posts and struts supporting another structure<\/span><\/p><p><b>Struts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: a rod or bar forming part of a framework, used for support<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5109 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discountdisplays.co.uk\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-1024x478.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstration of how the truss stand modules fold and open\" width=\"800\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discountdisplays.co.uk\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discountdisplays.co.uk\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discountdisplays.co.uk\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discountdisplays.co.uk\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><b>How does the truss system work?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system is quick and easy to put together, with no tools required.

To connect components together you simply unfold them, line up the thumbscrew with the thread and turn until tight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you order a gantry truss stand with Discount Displays, we will send you information on the easiest way to assemble your specific design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video below demonstrates how easy the truss system is to assemble.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d010f7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9d010f7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b2ef7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"1b2ef7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/GkDxgWdY21I&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-video .elementor-widget-container{overflow:hidden;transform:translateZ(0)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{height:100%;width:100%;display:flex;border:none;background-color:#000}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-open-inline .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0;background-size:cover;background-position:50%}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{cursor:pointer;text-align:center}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay:hover .elementor-custom-embed-play i{opacity:1}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{display:block;width:100%;aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio);-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover;-o-object-position:center center;object-position:center center}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .e-hosted-video .elementor-video{-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-video,.e-con>.elementor-widget-video{width:var(--container-widget-width);--flex-grow:var(--container-widget-flex-grow)}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f39d7ee e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f39d7ee\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d050e6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d050e6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>How big can you build?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The maximum unsupported span we suggest is 4.5m.

For smaller or more simple stands, we would suggest starting by deciding how many sides you want. As an example, 1 wall with 3 open sides or 3 walls with 1 open side.<\/p><p>For larger stands or those with specific needs you can consider more unique configurations. For example, a sectioned-off area with tables and chairs for engaging with customers.
