Overview

About the Global F34 Black – 3m Straight Segment

The Global F34 Black 3m straight segment is the longest standard unit in the matt-black F34 line, designed for large-span overhead rigs where minimising connection points and visual footprint are both priorities. A single 3m black segment can form the primary beam of a black-box venue rig or combine with other segments to build large touring grids that disappear against dark backdrops. At 18.16kg it remains within two-person manual handling limits.

Typical Applications

Large venue and arena overhead grids with dark drape
Concert touring roof systems where reflective aluminium is a problem
Outdoor festival night stages with LED-heavy looks
Long-span corporate event rigs in dark-themed venues

The Global F34 matt-black square truss system is the same TUV-approved 4-point box truss as the silver F34 line, finished in a hard-wearing matt-black powder coat. It’s the rig of choice when the truss itself needs to disappear into a black-box theatre, a corporate stage with dark drape, or a music video set where reflective aluminium would steal the shot.

Why the F34 Black?

Identical EN-AW 6082 T6 structural specification to the silver F34: same load ratings, same connector geometry, same 290mm section. The matt-black powder coat is durable enough for the touring circuit and resists fingerprinting and scuffing better than gloss finishes. Mix-and-match with silver F34 segments via the standard conical coupler if your rig calls for it, but most clients hire the black exclusively when the visual brief is “no visible structure”.

Safety & Certification

Designed and tested to comply with EN 13814 (European standard for fairground and amusement structures). Manufactured under ISO 9001-certified quality management. The powder-coat process does not affect the structural rating of the underlying aluminium: black F34 is rated identically to silver F34.

Compatibility

Fully interoperable with the rest of the F34 system (silver and black). The 290mm profile is compatible with industry-standard clamps, coupler plates, motor attachments, and rigging hardware.
