We work in an ever-changing industry, with technological advancements, festival growth, and new trends happening almost every day. One of our core principles that drives us is a constant focus on innovation and progression. For over 35 years, we\u2019ve been on the forefront of staging production, designing and building a variety of safe structures for all size events. One of our most recently designed stage systems borrows elements from our strongest system, and offers them in a scaled down, accessible package: The\u00a0MTN Truss HD System.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our MTN Truss system<\/a> is one of the premiere staging structures in entertainment production. It\u2019s clean aesthetic, strength, versatility, and incredible rigging capacity has made it a highly sought after system for major concerts, festivals, and events since it\u2019s first show. We knew the incredible capabilities of this system, but wanted to extend it\u2019s features to a wider market. This began our process into developing a system that was more robust than our versatile Hercules Grid<\/a>, yet scaled down from our full MTN Truss HD+ System.<\/p>\n

Engineering quickly took these requirements, and got to work. What resulted was a prototype for a modified MTN Truss HD+ System, using scaled down elements of the structure. For example, the MTN Truss HD System uses 16\u201d columns and 2\u2019 x 3\u2019 truss, while the Mountain Truss uses 22\u201d columns and 3\u2019 x 5\u2019 truss. This new prototype was refined and finalized, becoming Mountain\u2019s newest stage structure.<\/p>\n
