Overview
A 12×12 box truss is a versatile rigging solution for lighting, video, audio, and scenic elements in live events and production environments. The square footprint creates a clean, symmetrical grid that’s ideal for hanging fixtures evenly, building compact overhead rigs, or creating a defined “room” of truss for stages, sets, and event activations.
