EVT290S-Hinge | Adjustable Square Truss Hinge Block

The EVT290S-Hinge is a versatile adjustable aluminum truss corner designed for EVT290S 290 mm square conical aluminum truss systems. Unlike fixed-angle corners, this heavy-duty hinge features a rotatable pivot with a built-in adjustable arm that allows you to securely lock the truss sections at various angles. This flexibility makes it an indispensable problem-solver for complex rigging challenges where standard 45 or 90-degree corners simply won’t fit.

Primary Applications:

• Tower Erection: Hinges are essential for safely erecting vertical truss towers. They allow the tower to be assembled horizontally on the ground and then “hinged” or tipped up into the vertical position before being locked or braced.
• Custom Geometry: Achieve precise, non-standard angles (e.g., 15°, 30°, or 72°) for custom roof pitches, irregular stage shapes, or architectural installations that require odd-degree turns.
• Variable Roof Pitches: Ideal for creating sloped roof structures where the pitch angle may need to be adjusted on-site to facilitate water runoff or match venue constraints.

Manufactured from high-grade 6082-T6 aluminum alloy and fabricated in accordance with TUV specifications, the EVT290S-Hinge delivers dependable performance. It includes a complete secure conical connection system (conical receiver, coupler, pins, and safety clips) to ensure safe integration with your existing rig.

Key Features

• Adjustable Angle Range: Capable of pivoting to create custom angles from 0 to 180 degrees.
• Locking Arm Mechanism: Features a built-in arm to securely set the desired angle.
• Tower Erection Aid: Allows for ground-assembly of towers and safe tilt-up installation.
• Compatibility: Fits F34, EVT290S, and other brands utilizing the 290 mm square truss system. Exact fit with other manufacturers is not guaranteed.
• Professional Brushed Finish: High-quality aluminum finish matches standard truss lengths for a uniform look.
• Secure Conical Connection System: Conical receivers and couplers secured with Pins and R-clips.
• Durable Construction: 6082-T6 Alloy provides high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT290S-Hinge is compatible with 50 mm (1.97″) clamps, allowing seamless integration with common truss accessories and rigging hardware.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Critical Load Rating Information: Hinges are mechanical moving parts and function differently than solid welded corners. Structural integrity relies on the locking mechanism or secondary bracing. Always consult a qualified engineer when using hinges in load-bearing roof systems or guyed towers.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Never exceed the rated load capacity of the truss system.
• Ensure the adjustable arm is fully locked and secured before applying loads.
• Inspect the pivot bolt and locking mechanism before every use for signs of wear.
• Handle truss components with care—avoid dropping, dragging, or improper stacking.
• Assembly and installation must be performed only by trained and qualified personnel.
• Ensure all Couplers, Pins, and R-clips are correctly installed and fully secured.
• Account for all applicable forces, including dynamic and transverse forces such as wind loads.
• Do not mix truss components from different manufacturers.
• All truss structures must be reviewed and approved by a licensed professional engineer.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning for Mixed-Brand Builds

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify all dimensions before integrating with other truss brands.
• Confirm conical connector type, node spacing, and system geometry.
• Mixing components without verification may compromise structural integrity and safety.
