<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

General INTERtruss<br />

Read the manual carefully and completely and make sure you fully understand its contents<br />

before attempting to install the truss modules.<br />

Cautionary notes:<br />

1. Never attempt to couple Interal Intertruss modules to similar modules or systems made by other manufacturers,<br />

even if they appear to fit well. Other manufacturers may use different tolerances or different materials or<br />

welding techniques, which may lead to reduced load-bearing performance and an unreliable connection.<br />

2. Always subject the modules to a visual inspection before use.<br />

The reasons for rejection are listed at the back of this manual. If you have any doubt about the dependability or<br />

strength of a module, or part of a module, do not use it and mark it clearly in order to prevent accidental use.<br />

3. Number or mark each truss module with a unique identifier – a numerical code, for example - as a system<br />

documenting aid for inspections and/or tests.<br />

4. Always use the load tables that are associated with the truss in question.<br />

5. When using the trusses in hoisting or lifting structures, make sure the loading does not exceed 50% of the<br />

values indicated in the tables.<br />

6. Always draw up a hoisting or lifting plan beforehand when truss components or truss structures are to be<br />

supported at more than two points.<br />

7. Always support the trusses at the lattice joints.<br />

8. Never subject the truss components or truss structures to excessive loads.<br />

9. Avoid high intermittent loads and dynamic loads by ensuring that the trusses cannot flex up and down.<br />

10. The specific static and dynamic loads must be calculated when building structures that do not use straight<br />

trusses as specified by Interal. Both the constructor and the user must be aware of all relevant national, regional<br />

or local legislation or regulations and ensure that these stress calculations are performed accordingly.<br />

11. Never hoist people up on trusses, unless adequate safety precautions have been taken and the risk analysis<br />

and stress calculations indicate that it is safe to do so.<br />

The Intertruss can easily be identified by the two grooves on the coupling<br />

sleeves and the Interal inspection/final check sticker which is applied to every<br />

Intertruss truss module made by Interal after June 2003.<br />

Application:<br />

The Interal Intertruss has been developed to allow the construction of temporary<br />

structures of varying types, sizes and shapes by assembling sets of truss<br />

modules. The resulting truss structures can support a variety of types and<br />

combinations of loads and are generally installed above persons on theatre<br />

stages, TV studio floors, exhibition stands, dance floors, event stages etc.<br />

These loads are mainly static and consist of light armatures, loudspeakers,<br />

projection screens, decoration, displays, etc., etc.<br />

If other forms of use are envisaged, it will be necessary to perform a new<br />

risk assessment and evaluation analysis and recalculate stresses and<br />

safety factors.<br />

<strong>INTERTRUSS</strong> 32 / 33 / 34 SERIES


<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

Description:<br />

The Intertruss 32/33/34 is available in 3 models; as a flat truss (290 mm), a triangular truss (290 x 258 x 258 mm)<br />

and as a square truss (290 x 290 mm).<br />

The Intertruss 32/33/34 uses different tube sizes:<br />

- In the case of the Intertruss 32/33/34, the longitudinal elements are made from round tube measuring<br />

50 x 2 mm, and the lattice wall construction (verticals, diagonals and internal diagonals) is made from<br />

20 x 2 mm round tube.<br />

- In the case of the Intertruss 32D/33D/34(D/HD), the longitudinal elements are made from round tube<br />

measuring 50 x 3 mm, and the lattice wall construction (verticals, diagonals and internal diagonals) is<br />

made from 20 x 2 mm round tube.<br />

See the summary on page 2 for more detailed information about dimensions,<br />

weights and material grades.<br />

The Intertruss 32/33/34 is supplied in straight lengths of 0.25m - 0.5m - 1 m<br />

- 1.5m – 2m - 2.5 m, up to and including 5 m. In addition, various corner elements<br />

are available for this type of truss; these include L, T, and X elements in<br />

one plane, and also the same L, T and X variants with one or two attachment<br />

points in the vertical plane.<br />

The modules connect together using a system of removable biconical couplings<br />

(photo), which generally are left in place on one side. The two halves of<br />

the aluminium couplings are secured together by a steel truss pin.<br />

The coupling sleeve is welded into the longitudinal elements of the lattice frame,<br />

description<br />

allowing the biconical couplings to connect to the coupling sleeves of each module.<br />

This biconical coupling is fastened to the sleeves by steel truss pins that are<br />

connection pieces<br />

secured in place using a locking clip (R clip) or an M8 nyloc locknut.<br />

The same coupling sleeves are used on all the corner elements (L, T and X<br />

shaped, with or without extra vertical attachment points), and on arch elements<br />

of varying lengths and curvatures that can be assembled to form circles of different sizes and designs.<br />

<strong>INTERTRUSS</strong> 32 / 33 / 34 SERIES<br />

Before use:<br />

Before using the Intertruss 32/33/34, you must first determine the weight of the loads that will mounted to the truss<br />

and whether these loads still fall within specification when the envisaged span sizes are considered.<br />

You must also plan the installation sequence (the order in which various length pieces and/or corner elements will<br />

be assembled) and the identify the position of each of the assemblies in the total structure.<br />

You must also determine the combined loads exerted by the various types of equipment you plan to mount to the<br />

structure and the locations of the support points.<br />

The reactive force at each support point must be determined and compared with the permissible load of the supporting<br />

structures (hoists, stands or vertical truss legs) and with the permissible shearing force that the Intertruss<br />

32/33/34 can withstand.<br />

PAGE <br />

WARNING: Risk of failure of the L, T and X elements.<br />

Corner elements made of standard truss material may fail due to a localised accumulation of<br />

shearing and bending forces. When constructing corner elements in this way, you must halve<br />

the permissible load for the straight trusses that connect to the corner element (minus 50%).<br />

NB: Exceeding the maximum load capacity of any of the hoisting or lifting devices, or of the Intertruss construction<br />

components, is forbidden. The hoisting or lifting plan can be drawn up in accordance with NERS-003.1 or an<br />

equivalent directive or norm. You must have the information to hand for inspection and enforcement bodies.<br />

This manual has been written with the greatest care and attention. However, Interal denies all liability for the consequences of<br />

any errors or inconsistencies in the text. Interal reserves the right to modify products and manuals without prior notification.


<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

Storage:<br />

The Intertruss 32/33/34 should be stored in an area that is as free as possible of dust (preferably completely dust-free).<br />

The truss components should be stored horizontally wherever possible. Measures must be taken to minimise the<br />

accumulation of dirt or dust in the area of the couplings. Dust and dirt in the couplings make assembly difficult and<br />

may cause damage to the coupling components.<br />

Transportation:<br />

The Interal Intertruss should be transported in the horizontal position. The truss parts should not be laid directly on<br />

top of each other and should not come into contact with the wall or floor of the vehicle or sea container. They may<br />

not come into direct contact with any other equipment that is transported at the same time. Any movement or vibration<br />

in the loading area might cause parts to rub together, thereby damaging the aluminium. The use of transport<br />

dollies is more efficient and reduces the risk of damage. In addition, a truss trolley increases efficiency when erecting<br />

and dismantling the structure, and reduces the time taken to load the vehicle, etc. Obviously the total weight of<br />

the load must be considered when pushing the load up or down vehicle loading<br />

ramps and other inclines. Make sure enough helpers are present to control<br />

the weight safely.<br />

Interal T.C. offers a so-called truss carrier for transporting trusses. These<br />

beams make it easier to stack trusses for transportation. The truss carrier is<br />

suitable for both triangular and square 32/33/34 trusses.<br />

Loose biconical couplings and the steel truss pins should preferably be<br />

transported along with the tools required (copper-headed hammer) in a pin<br />

storage box.<br />

NB: Never transport trusses in the vertical position. This will cause the trusses<br />

to rub against each other each time irregularities in the road surface cause<br />

movement of the vehicle body, leading to wear and loss of strength. Also, if a<br />

securing strap were to break, there would be a significant risk of injury by falling<br />

trusses when unloading the vehicle or container.<br />

description<br />

truss carrier<br />

WARNING: Risk of injury by falling trusses when loading and unloading.<br />

Trusses stood vertically on the vehicle bed may easily topple over if the floor is not perfectly<br />

level.<br />

<strong>INTERTRUSS</strong> 32 / 33 / 34 SERIES


<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

Erection:<br />

It is recommended that the biconical couplings are left in place on one end of the truss modules. This significantly<br />

increases the speed of erection, and reduces wear and tear caused by unnecessarily frequent disassembly and<br />

reassembly. This also minimises the quantity of loose parts that need to accompany the trusses. Loose parts can<br />

easily be forgotten or inadvertently exchanged with other similar-looking, but not identical parts.<br />

It is preferable to work in teams of two.<br />

1. Roll the dolly as close as possible to the area where erection is planned without creating an obstruction.<br />

2. Loosen and remove the securing straps from the dolly and lift off the top truss part.<br />

3. Visually inspect each truss module for signs of wear or damage. See page 5. Damaged modules or<br />

modules with other defects should be laid out of the way and clearly marked as defective.<br />

4. Lay the first truss module in the position shown on the drawing (truss plan).<br />

5. Select the next truss module and connect it to the first.<br />

6. Slide the second truss part with the protruding (male) couplings into the sleeves (female connection) of the<br />

first part. The conical shape of the couplings make it easy to guide the protrusions into the sleeves.<br />

7. To secure the truss parts to each other, one man should joggle the free end of the second module up and<br />

down and from left to right while the other man inserts the truss pins into the locating holes and pushes<br />

them home. A hammer is not generally necessary if the trusses have been properly maintained.<br />

8. A copper-headed hammer can be used if the pins are difficult to seat. This is generally only required when<br />

making connections in a different direction, e.g. L and T shaped corner pieces.<br />

WARNING: Risk of damaging the truss.<br />

Do not use a steel hammer as this might damage the truss pin and truss,<br />

and avoid the use of unnecessary force when tapping in the truss pin; this may also lead to<br />

damage.<br />

Joggling the end up and down and from side to side is more effective.<br />

9. Insert the securing clips (R clips) in the truss pin holes.<br />

10. Repeat steps 4 to 7 until the required length has been assembled.<br />

11. Rotate the assembled truss about its longitudinal axis by a half turn.<br />

<strong>INTERTRUSS</strong> 32 / 33 / 34 SERIES<br />

WARNING: Risk of crushed feet or ankles<br />

Alert the people close by that their feet could be crushed<br />

if the full truss length were to roll out of position by approx. 60cm.<br />

12. Insert the truss pins into the remaining locating holes and secure them in place with the R clips.<br />

13. Turn the full truss length back to its original position.<br />

WARNING: Risk of crushed feet or ankles<br />

Alert the people close by that their feet could be crushed<br />

if the full truss length were to roll out of position by approx. 60cm.<br />

14. Mount any corner elements that are required to the assembled truss length.<br />

15. If any lengths are to be connected to the corner elements: repeat steps 4 to 7.<br />

16. Mount the assembled length to the corner element.<br />

any errors or inconsistencies in the text. Interal reserves the right to modify products and manuals without prior notification.


<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

USE<br />

1. Check all the joints for correct location of the truss pins and R clips.<br />

2. Place the truss onto the support points (of stands or lifts) - or:<br />

3. Use a flexible means of attachment to hoist the truss. The following are suitable: tubular polyester slings,<br />

steel cable slings with a protective coating or so-called ‘Softsteels’, tubular webbing slings with a wirereinforced<br />

core. If there is a risk of contact with spotlights or other hot objects in the direct vicinity, plastic<br />

tubular slings should be equipped with a steel cable safety back-up.<br />

WARNING: Risk of falling truss parts<br />

Never use steel cables unless they are equipped with a protective mantle or coating that prevents<br />

direct contact with the aluminium tubes. The steel cable is much harder and will ‘saw’<br />

into the aluminium tubes.<br />

4. Attach the truss to the hoisting or lifting equipment and lift it to the desired working height.<br />

WARNING: Risk of overloading and falling trusses.<br />

Always use hoisting or lifting equipment of a suitable lifting capacity and ensure that the<br />

truss is lifted at a constant speed. Speed variations during lifting may generate high bending<br />

moments in the trusses and could ultimately cause breakage.<br />

5. Recheck all the joints for correct location of the truss pins and R clips.<br />

6. Install the load(s) as shown on the drawing (lighting plan, decoration plan etc.)<br />

7. Check that any loads supported on a hoisting/lifting structure made of 32/33/34 truss material do not exceed<br />

half the value in the table. The load table for the 32/33/34 truss can be found on page 10.<br />

In the case of fixed portal structures it is not necessary to halve the load values as stipulated by NPR 8020-10.<br />

WARNING: Risk of breakage and falling trusses.<br />

ALWAYS avoid overloading trusses.<br />

8. Check the amount of deflection of the truss after the loads have been attached. The permissible deflection<br />

is listed in the load table on page 10. Excessive deflection may indicate deformation in one or more<br />

truss modules.<br />

9. Raise the truss or truss structure to the desired ‘trim height’.<br />

10. Note that the positions where the heavier loads are supported on the support points will move more slowly.<br />

Where there are more than two support points, the truss may start to bend locally. Stop hoisting in good<br />

time and allow the slower hoisting points to align with the rest of the truss or truss structure.<br />

11. Once the truss has reached the desired height, attach safety slings as required. Always check the necessity<br />

for this against the requirements of national, regional or local regulations.<br />

WARNING: Danger of falling from a height.<br />

Climbing in the Interal Intertruss is strictly forbidden.<br />

12. This is not even permitted for adjusting or maintaining the spotlights mounted in the truss. The truss has<br />

been designed to withstand static loads and NOT the kind of additional loads that are generated by the<br />

movements of a person climbing in the truss, or the forces that are exerted on a safety line attachment<br />

point if the person in the truss were to fall. Use a cherry-picker or telescope lift for work on the spotlights, or<br />

lower the entire structure back down.<br />

<strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

dismantling<br />

1. Dismantling takes place in the reverse order to assembly.<br />

2. The use of a copper-headed hammer is recommended when loosening the truss pins.<br />

WARNING: Risk of injury by truss pins travelling at high speed.<br />

It may sometimes be necessary to use a steel hammer to loosen jammed truss pins. Only use<br />

a steel hammer if the exit route of the pin has been shielded effectively. The pins can sometimes<br />

loosen abruptly and fly out at high speed.<br />

3. Pick up the truss pins straightaway and check them for damage. Put undamaged pins back in the pin storage<br />

box and lay the damaged ones aside for repairs.<br />

WARNING: Risk of slipping or stumbling.<br />

Leaving pins lying around on the ground increases the risk of somebody slipping or stumbling<br />

in high traffic areas where truss parts are carried from place to place.<br />

4. Load the truss modules onto a trolley or dolly and secure them with a ratchet strap. Roll the loaded dollies<br />

away from the working area.<br />

Maintenance:<br />

The Interal truss requires little maintenance, but is not totally maintenance-free. The parts that require the most attention<br />

are the steel truss pins and the conical coupling components.<br />

1. The truss pins should be viewed as consumables. Conscientious maintenance and/or timely replacement<br />

of these pins will extend the service life of the truss sections.<br />

The truss pins should not exhibit mushroom-shaped burrs as a result of heavy blows with a hammer. Burrs<br />

at the thin end in particular will significantly reduce the service life of the trusses and have a detrimental effect<br />

on ease of assembly. Deburr the pins regularly using a grinding stone or abrasive paper and lubricate<br />

them with silicon spray or some other form of lubrication. The pins should be thrown away when bent or<br />

worn, or if the R clip hole is no longer useable.<br />

2. Conical couplings that exhibit burrs or dents due to contact with other objects should also be smoothed<br />

down using abrasive paper, blown clean and then lubricated with a silicon-based oil.<br />

3. The inside surface of the conical sleeves (attached to the truss tubes) should be checked for burrs on a<br />

regular basis. If burrs are found, the inside of the sleeves must be lightly rubbed down with abrasive paper<br />

to remove the burrs, blown clean and then lubricated with a silicon-based oil.<br />

4. Bent diagonals and end tubes can generally be straightened with a hammer. Use a wooden wedge to protect<br />

the aluminium.<br />

5. It is also recommended that all the coupling components are cleaned and lubricated again during the annual<br />

service.<br />

The loading figures are valid only for application of the truss under static loading. The figures have been determined in<br />

accordance with DIN standards 4113 Part 1 and Part 2. Whenever dynamic loads are expected, the loading figures should<br />

be reduced by 50% (we recommend to perform a new calculation). For other loading conditions a structural engineer or<br />

Interal T.C. should be consulted.<br />

The load tables assume that the means of<br />

attachment of the loads (clamps, slings, etc.)<br />

that are hung from the truss will be located as<br />

closely as possible to a point where several<br />

diagonals come together.
