What is the LXD 340? Fundamentals of the truss system

The LXD 340 is a modular aluminium 4-point truss system from Naxpro-Truss, designed specifically for applications that require variable fixtures — most notably LED wall rigging. Unlike a classic fixed 4-point truss, the LXD 340 relies on separate, movable attachment points (pickpoints and loadpoints) that You position where the load actually sits, rather than being tied to fixed welded lugs.

A truss is a load-bearing lattice structure made from parallel main chords (tubes) connected by diagonal braces. This triangulated construction gives the truss its enormous strength-to-weight ratio, which is why aluminium truss dominates professional stage construction and rigging.

How the LXD 340 differs from adjacent truss types

The LXD 340 should not be confused with standard series such as the FD, HD or XD ranges. While an FD 34 or HD 34 uses a fixed geometry with pre-defined connection points, the LXD 340 offers variable fixtures: You slide loadpoints and pickpoints along the truss to distribute weight exactly where a heavy LED panel array needs support. This makes it fundamentally different from a decorative or general-purpose 4-point truss.

The system is compatible with the wider Naxpro-Truss and Riggatec ecosystem, so You can integrate it into existing rigs. It is available in straight lengths and section pieces in both a standard and a black finish, giving You clean aesthetics for visible stage positions.

Technical specifications and material of the LXD 340

For professionals, the technical data behind a truss matters far more than the product name alone. The LXD 340 is built from high-grade aluminium and follows the robust engineering philosophy of the Naxpro-Truss range.

Below are the key structural details of the LXD 340 system components as offered at LTT. Where a specific value depends on the exact configuration, always confirm against the current datasheet before load planning.

Material and construction

Aluminium keeps the LXD 340 light enough to handle on a touring truck yet strong enough for heavy LED wall arrays. The diagonal bracing transfers loads efficiently between the main chords, and the tool-free connection system relies on precision conical connectors that lock chords together quickly and repeatably. This combination of low weight, high working load limit and fast build time is exactly what makes the LXD 340 attractive for touring setup crews who value both safety and speed.

Load capacity, WLL and safety standards (DGUV, EN 1090, TÜV SÜD)

Safety is non-negotiable in professional rigging, and the LXD 340 is engineered to meet the demands of load-bearing overhead structures. Understanding the WLL and the standards behind it is essential before You put weight on any truss.

Working load limit explained

The LXD 340 offers a WLL of up to 2,000 kg. For applications that fall under DGUV Vorschrift 17 (formerly BGV C1), the relevant limit is a WLL of 1,000 kg. This distinction is critical: DGUV Vorschrift 17 applies to overhead loads at events with an audience present, where a higher safety margin is mandatory. Always plan Your rig against the DGUV value when people are below the structure.

Standards and compliance

Professional truss systems from Naxpro-Truss are engineered around recognised European standards. EN 1090 governs the execution of aluminium and steel structures and is the relevant framework for load-bearing truss manufacturing. Certification through bodies such as TÜV SÜD and documented statics provide the proof of compliance that rigging professionals, planners and safety officers require.

Why the three attachment points matter

Each pickpoint and loadpoint on the LXD 340 uses three attachment points, allowing the load to be shared across the truss cross-section rather than concentrated on a single lug. This distributed approach is central to reaching the stated WLL safely. Never exceed the rated values, always account for dynamic loads, and have Your suspension components inspected regularly. If You are unsure about a specific load case, LTT can advise You as a reliable partner in event technology.

Product range: straights, sections, middlebeams and rigging points

The LXD 340 is a complete system, and knowing the available types and variants lets You configure exactly the layout Your project needs. Every element combines seamlessly, so You can scale from a compact LED backdrop to a full touring header truss.

Straights

Straight pieces form the backbone of any LXD 340 run. They are available in 100 cm, 150 cm, 200 cm, 250 cm and 300 cm lengths in the H90 profile, so You can reach almost any span by combining sizes.

Section pieces

Section pieces extend the system and are offered in matching lengths from 100 cm to 300 cm, including a black finish for positions visible to the audience.

Middlebeams

Middlebeams add intermediate support and load-bearing capacity within a truss frame. The LXD 340 middlebeam range includes the Q-100, Q-200, R-100 and R-200 variants, available in standard and black finishes.

Pickpoints, loadpoints and loadpoint flex

The movable rigging points are the heart of the LXD 340 concept:

• Pickpoint – the primary movable suspension point for hanging the truss
• Loadpoint – the movable point for attaching loads such as LED panels
• Loadpoint Flex – the flexible loadpoint variant for irregular fixture positions

All rigging points are available in standard and black. This modular kit is what turns the LXD 340 into a system with, as Naxpro-Truss puts it, one system and countless possibilities.

Modular attachment points and tool-free assembly explained

The defining feature of the LXD 340 is its modular attachment points, and understanding how they work explains why this system is the optimal solution for LED wall rigging.

Variable fixtures for LED walls

Traditional 4-point trusses have attachment lugs at fixed intervals. LED wall panels, however, come in many grid sizes and weights, so their suspension points rarely line up with fixed lugs. The LXD 340 solves this with variable fixtures: pickpoints and loadpoints slide along the truss so You can position each suspension and load point exactly where the panel array demands. This flexibility dramatically simplifies LED wall rigging and reduces the need for custom adapters.

Tool-free assembly

The LXD 340 uses a tool-free assembly system based on conical connectors. Instead of bolts and spanners, chords are joined with self-aligning conical pins that seat and lock quickly. For a touring crew building and striking a rig several times a week, this saves significant time and reduces the risk of missing hardware.

Loadpoint, pickpoint and loadpoint flex in practice

In a typical LED wall setup, You suspend the LXD 340 truss from pickpoints, then attach the panels via loadpoints positioned along the truss to match the panel columns. Where a fixture sits between standard positions, the loadpoint flex gives You the freedom to place a load point exactly where needed. Combined with the three-attachment-point design, this modular system delivers safe, even load distribution across the whole structure.

Applications and use: LED walls, touring, prerigg and fixed installations

The LXD 340 is designed for demanding professional environments where flexibility and load capacity both matter. Here are the main applications where the LXD 340 truss shows its strengths.

LED walls

The number-one use of the LXD 340 is LED wall rigging. Its variable loadpoints let You hang heavy panel arrays of almost any grid dimension safely and quickly, making it the go-to choice for concerts, corporate events and broadcast backdrops.

Touring setups

Thanks to tool-free assembly and the strong strength-to-weight ratio of aluminium, the LXD 340 is ideal for touring setups that are built and struck repeatedly. Fast build times and repeatable connections keep Your crew on schedule.

Prerigg systems

In a prerigg workflow, fixtures and cabling are pre-installed on truss sections in advance so the rig goes up in minimum time on site. The LXD 340's modular attachment points make it well suited to prerigg strategies.

Fixed installations

For clubs, theatres, houses of worship and permanent studios, the LXD 340 works equally well in fixed installations, where its clean black finish and high WLL provide a durable, professional overhead structure.

Comparison: LXD 340 vs. other Naxpro-Truss systems

A common question is when to choose the LXD 340 over a classic Naxpro-Truss series. The key difference lies in the attachment concept: the LXD 340 offers variable, movable fixtures, whereas standard series such as the FD, HD and XD use fixed geometries. The comparison below helps You decide.

Which one should You choose?

Choose the LXD 340 when Your project centres on LED walls or any load where suspension and attachment points must be freely positioned. Choose an FD 34 or HD 34 for versatile general-purpose rigging where fixed points are sufficient — the HD series (with a 3 mm wall thickness compared to the FD's 2 mm) offers extra reserve for heavier loads. The XD 340 suits standard 4-point rigging without the need for variable fixtures. When flexibility for changing panel grids is the priority, the LXD 340 is the clear winner.

Buying guide: choosing lengths, corners and accessories for Your project

Configuring a truss layout can feel complex, so this buying guide walks You through the key decisions when planning an LXD 340 rig.

1. Calculate Your span

Start with the total width and height of Your LED wall or structure. Combine straight pieces (100–300 cm) to reach the required span. Using fewer, longer straights means fewer connections; using more, shorter pieces gives You flexibility for transport and future reconfiguration.

2. Choose straights or sections

Use straights for the main visible spans and section pieces where You need system extensions. Opt for the black finish wherever the truss is visible to Your audience for a cleaner look.

3. Plan Your load and pickpoints

Map where Your suspension points (pickpoints) and load points (loadpoints) must sit. Add loadpoint flex where fixtures fall between standard positions. Remember the three-attachment-point principle to keep loads evenly distributed.

4. Add middlebeams for extra support

Select Q-100, Q-200, R-100 or R-200 middlebeams where Your frame needs intermediate load-bearing capacity.

5. Verify the WLL against DGUV

Always check that Your planned load stays within the WLL of 1,000 kg under DGUV Vorschrift 17 when an audience is present. When in doubt, ask LTT for advice as Your specialist partner in event technology.

Accessories and connection system for the LXD 340

A complete, safe rig needs more than truss lengths alone. The right accessories finish Your LXD 340 setup and keep it compliant.

Connection system

The LXD 340 relies on conical connectors for its tool-free chord joints. These precision components are the foundation of the system's fast, repeatable assembly — always keep spare connectors and their pins on hand for touring.

Rigging hardware

To suspend the truss safely You will need compatible rigging hardware such as steel wire ropes, shackles, hoists and safety cables, plus base plates for ground-supported structures. Matching Riggatec and Naxpro-Truss accessories are designed to integrate cleanly with the LXD 340 system.

Load and pick point accessories

Stock additional pickpoints, loadpoints and loadpoint flex units so You can adapt to different LED panel grids without last-minute improvisation. Spare parts keep Your system flexible across projects.

Care, maintenance and inspection of the LXD 340

Proper care and maintenance protect both Your investment and the people working under Your rig. Load-bearing aluminium truss must be kept in reliable condition.

Regular inspection

Before each build, visually inspect every LXD 340 straight, section and rigging point for dents, cracks, bent chords or damaged welds. Any truss showing structural damage must be taken out of service immediately — never rig a damaged component.

Cleaning

Wipe down truss and connectors with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid aggressive solvents that could attack the finish, especially on black-coated pieces. Keep conical connectors clean and free of debris so they seat correctly during tool-free assembly.

Storage and documentation

Store the LXD 340 in a dry environment, ideally in dedicated cases or on transport dollies to prevent transit damage. For professional use, keep an inspection log — periodic checks by a qualified person are part of good rigging practice and support compliance with DGUV Vorschrift 17. Well-maintained truss delivers years of dependable service.
