EVT50C-AHC — Quick-Release Self-Locking Hook Clamp, Natural Aluminum Finish

The EVT50C-AHC is a professional quick-release self-locking hook clamp engineered for precision and speed. Featuring a pre-installed M10 x 30mm attachment bolt with a spring lock washer, this clamp is ready to mount to standard lighting yokes right out of the box. Its natural aluminum finish allows it to blend seamlessly with standard silver truss systems, making it the ideal choice for industrial, architectural, and stage applications where the hardware needs to match the surrounding structure.

Function and Compatibility:

The EVT50C-AHC features an advanced auto-locking mechanism that enables true one-person installation. Simply hook the clamp over the truss chord, and the internal spring lock instantly engages to hold the fixture's weight while you tighten the wing nut. Its slim, low-profile design holds fixtures tighter to the tube than standard clamps, reducing gaps for a clean, precision-rigged appearance on silver truss systems.

Truss Compatibility: Fits F34, EVT290S, and all standard 290mm conical truss systems, as well as EVT12S and other standard 12-inch plated truss systems using bolt connections.

Key Features

• Quick-Release Self-Locking Hook: The self-locking hook supports the fixture immediately upon engagement, allowing you to tighten the bolt without holding the heavy light — true one-person installation.
• Natural Aluminum Finish: Silver aluminum surface integrates with standard silver truss systems — the correct finish when the clamp needs to match the surrounding hardware rather than disappear into a dark environment.
• Low-Profile Design: Sits tighter to the truss than standard O-clamps for a streamlined, professional appearance.
• M10 Attachment Bolt Included: Pre-installed M10 x 30mm bolt with spring lock washer ready to connect to any standard M10 lighting yoke or fixture mounting bracket.
• 12.26 kN Bolt Tensile Strength: High-strength bolt rated at 12.26 kN tensile strength.
• 48mm to 50mm Tube Compatibility: Compatible with standard 48mm to 50mm (1.9-inch to 2.0-inch) truss tubes.
• Safe Working Load 150 kg: Rated for a safe working load of 150 kg (330 lbs), TUV Nord Certified.
• 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy: High-strength structural aluminum construction.
• S45C Carbon Steel Hardware: High-strength S45C carbon steel fasteners for reliable long-term clamping performance.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT50C-AHC combines industrial strength with the ease of a quick-release self-locking hook in a natural aluminum finish that sits flush with the rig.

Safety and Engineering Notice

Critical Rigging Guidelines:

• Load Rating: Do not exceed the rated safe working load of 150 kg (330 lbs).
• Inspection: Check the spring-loaded locking mechanism before every use. If the hook does not click and lock on engagement, remove from service immediately.
• Secondary Safety: The use of safety cables is mandatory for all overhead rigging applications.
• Installation: Hook the clamp over the tube, listen for the click of the self-lock engaging, and firmly tighten the wing nut before attaching any load.
• Professional Review: The purchase of this product does not authorize or approve a specific installation or use. A licensed professional engineer shall review all structures, lighting plots, or other clamp uses.

Compatibility Warning

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify Diameter: Designed strictly for 48mm to 50mm (2-inch) tubing. Do not use on smaller decorative truss with 35mm (1.37-inch) tubes such as the EVT220 series.
• Check Clearance: Ensure the hook body has sufficient clearance around bracing to seat fully onto the chord before tightening.
