James Thomas Engineering manufacture a range of lightweight follow spot chairs with comfortable rally type seats and safety belts. The chairs come in 5 standard formats as detailed below and are all supplied with one straight and one 45 degree angle adjustable spigot mounting adapters, which allow the use of most types of follow spots available today. The follow spot chairs fit to the truss by means of 4 swivel couplers which are supplied as optional extras. Some models also feature a tray behind the seat for mounting of a ballast.

General Purpose truss is manufactured from 5.08cm dia x 3.2mm wall and 2.54cm dia x 3.2mm wall 6082 T6 Aluminium tubing. Supplied with Thomas truss bolts and nuts. Ideal truss for conference, exhibition and small venue work. By incorporating suitable sleeve blocks, this truss can be used with our Ground Support Systems.

The Ground Support Supertower is manufactured with the purpose of providing a lifting medium for the variety of Thomas trusses ranging from the smallest general purpose truss - through to the largest Supertruss. The Supertower system is available as 30.5cm and 38cm and is based around the Supertruss system using modified forks to allow smooth operation while raising and lowering the grid.

This lightweight truss is ideal for exhibition, conference and small venue work. Using the Supertruss design principles has enabled the manufacture of a competitively strong but lightweight truss with all the innovative space and time saving characteristics first demonstrated in Supertruss.

Using the Supertruss principle has enabled the manufacture of a competitively strong but lightweight truss with all the innovative space and time saving characteristics first demonstrated in Supertruss. Superlite is a 30.5cm x 60 degree equilateral triangular truss manufactured from 6082T6 aluminium tube with 50mm x 2mm wall main tubes, 19mm x 2mm wall diagonals and featuring double ended connecting forks for ease of assembly and added strength.

Supermegatruss has been developed for those applications which require monumental loadbearing capability. The truss is manufactured from 6082T6 specification tube using 7.62cm diameter main tubes, 4.84cm cross boom tubes and 4cm box section diagonals.

A revolutionary truss designed to offer all the advantages of the Thomas 52cm Supertruss but in 30.5cm square format. 30.5cm Supertruss provides a substantial increase in loadbearing capacity over the General Purpose 30.5cm truss and can span to a maximum of 15 metres between supports. This truss is ideal for exhibition, conference and general rigging jobs.

The Supertruss design features end connectors, which are horizontally orientated, so that the connecting pin is dropped in vertically and truss elements are unisex (they can be used either way) this also means that a variety of angles and shapes can be constructed with ease. Supertruss is considerably stronger size for size when compared to the General Purpose truss. Supertruss is available as 30.5cm, 52cm and 76cm x 52cm providing solutions for all rigging applications.
