1.3 Unapproved Use of System 

TRUMPF 95 is a track system for medium- and heavy-duty applications. 

A top groove on track allows easy mounting of all accessories. 

Installation options: 

• Direct ceiling mounting. 

• Hook clamp installation for use on truss and pipe battens. 

• Wall mount bracket installation. 

Perfect for stage and studio. Allows complex configurations such as curves and 

switching points. 

During events and on stage, there are always people in the curtain area. Operators of a 

TRUMPF 95 track system must know and follow the special safety regulations for each 

production. Possible risks during a production must be understood and guidelines put in 

place to minimize accidents. 

Please pay attention to following safety standards: 

• BGV C1 / GUV-V C1 

• BGI 810-0 

• BGI 810-2 

• DIN 56950 

• DIN 60204-1 

This operation manual is included in the delivery of the TRUMPF 95 track system. It 

includes all necessary instructions to assemble and to operate the track system safely 

and to prevent accidents or damage. 

TRUMPF 95 is approved for supporting and moving curtains and light-weight scenery 

within the maximum load capacity of the track and the associated components. Do not 

exceed load rating of track and runners. 

The track system load capacity refers to textile curtains applications. For light-weight 

scenery applications, specific runners must be used. 

TRUMPF 95 is not approved for supporting or moving (flying) people. Unapproved use 

can result in serious injury or death.

Verify the load capacity and stability of the ceiling structure and all attachment 

accessories. 

System Design The load capacity of the overall TRUMPF 95 system is determined by the system’s 

weakest link. Do not load any component up to the maximum load capacity as there is a 

risk of overloading hanging points. 

The track system should be designed with the load capacity of the hanging points: 

The track system’s load (point load or uniform distributed load) is secured by the 

hanging points. 

The center hanging points’ weight load is higher than the weight load of the hanging 

points at the end of the track. 

The load capacity of the hanging points depend on the mounting nuts used. Replacing a 

standard camlock nut with an adjustable nut or a HD nut can increase the load capacity. 

If you still need a higher load capacity, or a replacement is not possible, you must 

reduce the distance between the hanging points. 

To define the maximum hanging point distance for a given load weight, see the diagram 

in chapter 1.4. 

You can find further information, such as load capacity, dimensions and weight of all 

track system parts in chapter “2.3 Track Mounting”, in the Gerriets Technic manual and 

on our website www.gerriets.com.

2 System Installation 

1.7 Safety Instructions The operator is responsible for the system operation. Your TRUMPF 95 track system, 

delivered by Gerriets and installed properly, should pose no safety risk. However, with 

any mechanical moving equipment, risk of accident or injury is possible. 

2.1 Installation 

2.2 Preparation 

2.2.1 Delivery of System 

2.2.2 System Design 

For further information see table 4.1. 

The installation should be done by certified technicians only. All installers must follow 

the operation instructions. 

Not following the operation instructions can damage the system. Gerriets GmbH is not 

liable for these damages. 

Please check immediately that the delivery slip matches the parts received to the 

images in chapter “2.3 Track Mounting” to verify that the shipment is complete. 

For designing your custom track system, please note the following points: 

When you determine the track system length you must include the curtain stacking 

space (length of each runner and master runner) and length of the needed 

components such as end stops, return pulley, head pulley and motors at the ends 

of the track system. 

Stacking space calculation for each side of curtain: 

Number of runners (approx. 4-5 runners per meter) x lengths of each runner 

+ length of master runner 

+ lengths of head and return pulleys 

+ length of end stop (+ motor) 

These questions help you to define the correct number and type of hanging points. 

• Track: what kind of load (point load or uniform distribute load) is appropriate? 

• Which system position/application bears the highest load capacity (open curtain, 

scenery attached to 1 or to 2 scenery carriers)? 

• If considering a span width of less than 2 m: Which is the highest possible load 

capacity weight for the most stressed hanging points? Regard your system as a 

multi-span girder. The spans next to the center hanging point are loaded with the 

maximum load capacity. Multiply the span load weight times 1.375. The result is the 

approx. maximum load capacity of the center hanging point. 

For further questions please contact our customer service team.

q 

or 

P 

P = Point load q = Uniform distributed load I = Distance between spans 

• Does the value exceed the maximum load capacity? 

• Use the diagram in chapter 1.4 to verify the maximum span width. 

The distance between the track end hanging points and the end of the track should be 

as short as possible. 

The maximum load capacity of the track system (see diagram in chapter 1.4) or its 

components (chapter 2.3.1) must not be exceeded. In addition, pay attention to the load 

capacity of each single component. The load capacity of all parts is specified in chapter 

2.3.1”System Parts Mounting”. 


5


2.2.2 System Design The track system’s load capacity is lower at the joint of two track sections. Place the 

hanging points less than 100 mm away from the joints/splice points. 

6 

Ensure that TRUMPF 95 is mounted to a stable structure. 

Plan the track configuration including the maximum weight load and define where 

accessory parts, such as hang points or rope guides, are mounted in top groove of the 

track. 

Depending on the site of operation different safety regulations may apply. 

Track sections can be mounted directly to the ceiling structure or preassembled on the 

floor. 

The installation location should be secured as to prevent objects from overhead from 

falling down. 

Please see the system parts mounting instructions in the following chapter. 



2.3.1 TRUMPF 95: System Parts Mounting 

The following pages include drawings and descriptions of the TRUMPF 95 track system as well as mounting instructions and useful tips. 

Depending on which mounting nut you select, three load capacities are given. These values always refer as following: 

• Standard camlock nut (3115 0091) – lowest load capacity. 

• Adjustable nut (3115 0071). 

• HD adjustable nut (3115 0061) – highest load capacity. 

In case the measurements in your copy can not be read clearly, please use the TECHNIC manual or go to www.gerriets.com.

2.3.1 TRUMPF 95: Double Top Cord Operation / Overview 

Double Top Cord Operation 

26 

A further development of the top cord system. 

Two independently operating cord systems move two master 

runners independently on one track section. 

This cord system allows the movement of curtain sections with 

different speeds and/or in different directions with one single 

track system (image 1). 

Several curtain opening options are available. A curtain section 

can be opened from right to left and vice versa (image 2). 

The curtain moves on the track in a flat or pleated style, if it is 

attached between the master carriers of both cords. 

A system for applications with different speeds or directions, 

such as asymmetrical opening configurations. 

Double top cord systems can be equipped with two motors. 

Geschwindigkeit Speed 1 1

2.3.2 Rope Attachment 

2.3.3 Rope Operation Test 

2.3.4 Curtain Attachment 

2.3.5 Curtain Operation Test 

After assembling all parts, the top cord operation cord can be attached. 

1 Attach one end of the rope to a master runner. 

2 Guide the other end of the rope through the rope guides over the head pulley to the 

floor pulley (or the motor) back up to the head pulley, to the return pulley and back 

to starting point. Attach it to the second master runner (if mounted). 

3 Loosen the rope at the starting point (master runner), pull the rope tight and clamp it 

to the master runner. 

4 After the installation, cut off the remaining ends of the rope to ensure a smooth 

operation. 

5 Check the rope tension latest four weeks after installation. If necessary, adjust the 

tension. The different cord guide systems are shown in chapter 2.3 “Track Mounting”. 

Before attaching the curtain, the track system operation must be checked. 

Please pay attention to the following: 

Does the rope run smoothly, or does it rub against system components or other objects? 

If yes: change the rope alignment or add additional rope guides. 

Do you notice any unusual or loud operation noise? 

If yes: Find out the cause and replace defect parts where required. 

Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the track system (see chapter 1.4) and its 

components. 

Attach the leading edge eyelet/grommet part of the curtain to the master runner’s 

attachment hole or the overlap arm. Attach the other end of the curtain to the end stop 

at the track end. 

There should be a distance of approx. 2 cm between the master runner attachment hole 

and the top edge of the curtain. This allows the runners to turn smoothly if stacking the 

curtain in the stacking area. 

The distance between the bottom edge of the curtain and the floor should be 1-3 cm to 

prevent the curtain from brushing over the floor. 

Attach decorative objects or scenery between 8 mm and 90 mm thickness via the 

scenery carrier bottom part (3100 0101) to the scenery carrier (3100 101) or with a 

M12 bolt directly to the scenery carrier. 

If using other attachment accessories to attach loads to the track system, verify that you 

do not exceed the load capacity and that all parts are in a proper condition. 

Check after curtain attachment: 

• Does the curtain move smoothly and easily? 

• Is there a danger of collision with other objects in the curtain area? 

If yes, enlarge the safety distance between curtain and other objects or remove the 

obstacles. 

• Repeat the test after removing the cause of the collision.
