A 24-inch square steel base plate, one inch thick and 60 lbs, that carries a vertical truss leg while staying inside a tight booth line.
Ground-supported truss stands on its bases, and this is the smaller of the two plates. Sixty pounds of steel in a two-foot square keeps a leg upright without spreading out into the aisle.
The plate is 24 in square and 1 in thick, weighing 60 lbs. How many bases a structure needs, and whether it needs added ballast, is set by the rigger and the venue rather than by the plate on its own.
That depends on leg height and what the structure carries, which makes it a rigging question. On lower ground-supported frames in Milwaukee booths the smaller plate is often right because it stays inside the booth line.
Bases sit under each vertical leg and spread the load into the floor. Confirm floor-protection requirements with the venue, since convention centers and hotel ballrooms often apply different rules to steel on their surfaces.
Modern Event Rental ships bases with box truss orders throughout Milwaukee. Count one per leg on the drawing and put the rigger’s ballast recommendation on the same order.
