What does a mount (Halterung) mean?

A mount is a device that securely fixes, supports or holds an object in a defined position. In event technology, mounts and fixings connect lighting, effect devices, speakers and displays to truss, walls, ceilings or floors. Common synonyms include bracket, holder, support, fixing, clamp and suspension. Unlike generic household or IT brackets, professional event mounts carry a defined working load limit (WLL), are made from load-rated steel or aluminium, and are designed for secondary securing with safety cables when loads are rigged overhead above an audience.

What fixing options are there?

There are four core fixing methods for mounts and fixings: wall mounting with brackets and side holders, ceiling suspension with rated suspension points, clamp mounting with hook clamps and half-couplers, and floor fixing with base plates. In event technology specifically, You also use spigot connectors to join truss segments and safety cables for mandatory secondary suspension. The right fixing option depends on what You mount, the structure You mount it to, and the total load. For overhead rigging, only certified, WLL-rated hardware is appropriate.

How do you attach a mount to the wall?

To attach a mount to a wall safely, first check that the substrate is solid masonry or concrete capable of carrying the load – plasterboard is never suitable for heavy fixtures. Select dowels and screws rated for the intended weight, mark and drill the holes precisely, insert the dowels and fix the bracket level. Then verify the seating and test with a controlled load before final use. For heavy event fixtures rigged overhead, add a rated safety cable as secondary suspension and never exceed the working load limit of the mount.

Which material is best for mounts and fixings?

The best material for mounts and fixings depends on the application. Steel offers the highest load capacity and is standard for heavy truss couplers and structural fixings. Aluminium keeps lightweight brackets easy to handle without sacrificing strength for moderate loads. Stainless steel grades such as 1.4301, 1.4401 or 1.4571 resist corrosion and suit outdoor or permanent installations. Galvanised and hot-dip galvanised finishes add corrosion protection to steel parts. For professional overhead rigging, always prioritise a documented working load limit over material alone.

What load capacity does a mount need?

A mount needs a working load limit (WLL) that comfortably exceeds the total weight it carries, including the fixture, cabling, cases and accessories. The WLL already includes the required safety factor, so never confuse it with break load. Light-fixture hook clamps may be rated for a few kilograms, while heavy couplers carry several hundred kilograms. Always check the WLL printed or embossed on professional hardware, compare it against the truss point load, and keep an honest safety margin. Overhead loads above people must also be secured with a rated safety cable.

What is the difference between a hook clamp and a half-coupler?

A hook clamp and a half-coupler both attach hardware to a round truss tube, but they differ in design and use. A hook clamp has a C-shaped body that hooks over the tube and locks with a wing nut or bolt, making it fast to fit for lighting fixtures. A half-coupler is a closed single-tube clamp that fully surrounds one tube for a fixed, high-strength connection, often used for bars, accessories or heavier fixtures. Both must match Your truss tube diameter – typically 50 mm for FD and HD Naxpro-Truss systems.

Which fixing suits a 50 mm Naxpro-Truss system?

A 50 mm Naxpro-Truss system, such as the FD31-44 or HD31-44 series, requires clamps and couplers rated for the 48–51 mm tube range. Standard hook clamps and half-couplers close correctly around these 50 mm chords, while HD31-44 with its 3 mm wall thickness supports heavier rigs. Do not use 35 mm clamps intended for FD21-24 or 60 mm clamps for GS94 structures, as a mismatched diameter leaves dangerous play. Always confirm the tube diameter before ordering, and add a rated safety cable for any load rigged overhead.

What does a truss clamp cost and where can I buy one?

The price of a truss clamp depends on its type, load rating and material: simple hook clamps for light fixtures start in the low double-digit euro range, while heavy-duty rated couplers cost more due to their higher working load limit.
