TAF is taking a new step by integrating steel into its lifting tower range to achieve higher load capacities. New trusses offering versatility and space savings are also being added to the catalog.
Marking a significant shift toward integrating steel into its product lineup, the manufacturer TAF, traditionally known for its aluminum structures, is expanding its range to include products incorporating this extremely robust metal. The goal is to provide greater versatility while meeting a growing demand for higher load capacity.
Markéta Šimková, Marketing Manager, introduces the new TAF products in the video :
The TC55 is an open aluminum 520 mm box truss, designed to build structures capable of supporting heavy loads, lighting fixtures, and even LED screens thanks to its integrated center tube.
The new feature is the C-profile tube, which allows rigging rings to slide smoothly along the entire length of the truss.
Another advantage of the TC55 is that the mounting height of the plates holding the tube can be adjusted in 50 mm increments on the reinforcing arches of the truss.
These arches prevent torsion and reduce stress in areas exposed to heavy loads. The eight holes drilled in the arches allow the tube height to be adjusted with 5 cm precision over a 40 cm range, saving space depending on the structural requirements of the installation.
The new Pre-Rig Truss PRC2 (improved version) is made from high-strength EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and long-term durability for intensive touring use. Compared to the previous version, it is now open and includes a C-profile tube allowing rigging rings to slide along the truss.
The plates suspending the tube are fixed to arches drilled with six holes spaced 3 cm apart, enabling optimized attachment height. The PRC2 can easily be mounted on a dolly for ground preparation before lifting.
The Tower 3 System (improved version) features a steel interlocking block, replacing the previous aluminum version. This upgrade improves durability and load capacity, allowing it to support up to 8 tons at a height of 20 meters.
Designed to support a roof structure or grid, the Tower 3 block can be paired with the new PA Truss, developed to suspend sound systems with loads of up to 3 tons.
The new PAV2 vertical tower, designed for outdoor sound reinforcement systems, uses TT54M trusses with a steel upper section instead of aluminum to lift loads of up to 2,200 kg. At the ISE trade show, only the upper section was presented (the full tower can reach 15 meters).
This upper section includes sliding suspension points with 50 mm step positioning, allowing precise adjustment of the sound system regardless of attachment point spacing, height, or curvature.
