A 36-inch square steel base plate, three inches thick and 135 lbs, used under taller ground-supported truss legs where the smaller plate is not specified.
Bigger plate, wider footprint, more steel under the leg: the three-foot base is what taller ground-supported structures sit on. At 135 lbs it is a two-person lift and worth planning into the load-in sequence.
The plate is 36 in square and 3 in thick, weighing 135 lbs. Whether a structure calls for this base or the smaller one is determined by the rigging drawing rather than by preference.
Generally as legs get taller or the structure carries more. A rigger reviews the configuration and specifies it, and the Milwaukee venue reviews that specification before the frame is approved to stand.
Three feet square is a real obstruction at floor level, so keep bases clear of egress paths and mark them on the plan alongside the aisle layout. Ramp or cover them wherever attendee traffic crosses.
Modern Event Rental delivers truss bases with structural orders across the Milwaukee area. Order the bases and settle the ballast question together so the crew is not improvising weight on site.
