The exact process of assembling and disassembling a lighting truss will depend on the specific type of truss being used and the equipment involved. However, here is a general guide to assembling and disassembling a lighting truss:

  1. Preparation: Before assembling or disassembling a truss, make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment, including clamps, bolts, and safety cables. Ensure that the truss sections are sorted correctly. and put them roughly on the correct place so as to saving time and accelarate the assembly time.

  2. Assembling the truss: Start by laying out the base plates and building the truss in sections, connecting each section with bolts or connectors by spanner, or connectors and pins by hammer. Ensure that the truss is level and secure at each connection point. Attach the lighting fixtures or other equipment to the truss as required.

  3. Rigging: Once the truss is assembled, use chain motors or winches to rig the truss in place. Make sure that the rigging is properly attached and that the load is evenly distributed. and it is better to have a thick tube to stuck the sleeve block and pillar, in case hoist misfunction and suddently fall down.

  4. Testing: Before using the truss, test it to ensure that it is secure and safe. Check all connections, rigging points, and equipment to make sure everything is working properly.

  5. Disassembling the truss: To disassemble the truss, first remove any equipment or lighting fixtures that are attached to the truss. Then, disassemble the truss in reverse order, removing the bolts or connectors and separating each section. Carefully lower the truss to the ground using chain motors or winches, and pack it away for transport.

It's important to note that assembling and disassembling a lighting truss should be done by experienced professionals who are trained in truss rigging and safety. This will ensure that the truss is assembled and disassembled safely and properly, reducing the risk of accidents or injury.
