Innovator and problem-solver for Rock ‘n Roll royalty

TOMCAT has been fortunate to manufacture items for some


of the major names in rock-and-roll. Demanding projects
for customers such as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, U2,
Janet Jackson, and others, established TOMCAT as an
industry leader and partner that could be trusted to get the
job done. From cobra heads to large Jumbotron trolleys,
TOMCAT exceeded at projects that others claimed were
impossible to carry out. Those achievements succeeded
in positioning the company as an innovator and problem-
solver. A company that creates and delivers solutions for its
customers.

New West Coast office
and warehouse

We now have a new TOMCAT office and warehouse that’s just a stone’s throw from
our many customers in the western United States and Canada! Located in Thousand
Oaks, California (one hour drive from LAX and downtown Los Angeles), we provide local
customer service, technical support and rapid physical product shipments from our
25,000 sq ft office and warehouse space.

Customers in this part of the country now have instant and convenient access to
TOMCAT products in the most popular sizes and lengths. Regular shipments from our
factory in Tennessee ensure the West warehouse is always stocked up and products
always ready to ship.

Box truss
Zig-Zag truss
TOMCAT Zig-Zag truss combines aspects of Pre-Rigged
Truss, efficient truck packing, and speedy load-in/load-out
by utilizing a hinging spigot design that allows the truss
system to fold over itself for storage/travel and unfolds via
vertical lift and pinning applications. Zig-Zag Truss can be
used in both vertical and horizontal lighting applications.

Touring truss
Lighting pod
The TOMCAT Lighting Pod offers lighting designers a much
larger area to work with and affords them the opportunity
to create “walls of light” on a much larger scale than
traditional truss profiles can accommodate. Extreme
adjustability and flexibility allow for the use of multiple
lighting options within one framework that can be utilized
both vertically and horizontally.

Dance tower

The TOMCAT Dance Tower is a versatile truss product used in


numerous Broadway theatrical productions such as Mamma
Mia, Hairspray and The Producers. The tower provides a side
lighting position for performers on stage and is designed so
that truss members don’t interfere with the lighting fixtures.
The most common size manufactured is 30" × 30" × 84"
with various custom sizes available, including double and
single wide configurations. A caster bottom is also available
depending on lighting needs. Lamp mounting options
include round tube for clamps, unistrut or tees.

Note: Designed to raise TOMCAT truss using Columbus McKinnon Theatrical Chain Hoists (Headblock sheaves for 5/16“ chain
is standard, but 1/4“ chain sheaves are available). Standard sleeve blocks are available for midsize to large types of TOMCAT
truss. All hinge and spigot connections employ 3/4“ radius head pins.

*Towers are designed to support both axial and flexural (bending) loads simultaneously.
Axial load capacity is dependent upon the amount of flexural loading placed upon the structure through a number of sources
including, but not limited to, the eccentric axial loads, moment transfer from horizontal truss loading (via sleeve and corner
blocks), wind forces and seismic forces. Due to the interdependent nature of the two forces, the loads stated above should
be used for reference only. As either of the variables change along their respective planes, allowable loads may increase
or decrease as a result. Axial loads are represented in the table above in both pounds and kilograms. Flexural loads are
represented in kip feet. Dynamic loads must be converted into a static load equivalent for comparison with the rated capacity.
All towers for outdoor use must be checked for flexural loads introduced by wind loading on the towers and related structures.
Contact your TOMCAT representative for further assistance and additional information on the specific use of towers for your
particular situation.

Note: Designed to raise TOMCAT truss using Columbus McKinnon Theatrical Chain Hoists (Headblock sheaves for 5/16“ chain
is standard, but 1/4“ chain sheaves are available). Standard sleeve blocks are available for midsize to large types of TOMCAT
truss. All hinge and spigot connections employ 3/4“ radius head pins.

*Towers are designed to support both axial and flexural (bending) loads simultaneously.
Axial load capacity is dependent upon the amount of flexural loading placed upon the structure through a number of sources
including, but not limited to, the eccentric axial loads, moment transfer from horizontal truss loading (via sleeve and corner
blocks), wind forces and seismic forces. Due to the interdependent nature of the two forces, the loads stated above should
be used for reference only. As either of the variables change along their respective planes, allowable loads may increase
or decrease as a result. Axial loads are represented in the table above in both pounds and kilograms. Flexural loads are
represented in kip feet. Dynamic loads must be converted into a static load equivalent for comparison with the rated capacity.
All towers for outdoor use must be checked for flexural loads introduced by wind loading on the towers and related structures.
Contact your TOMCAT representative for further assistance and additional information on the specific use of towers for your
particular situation.

Outdoor roof systems
46 x 43 Roof
This roof design has long been one of the most popular
ever offered by TOMCAT, due to its loading capabilities and
ease of transportation. Because of its unique construction,
including sleeves for the 12” tower that are built into
the perimeter grid, the system boasts a total maximum
uniform distributed load of 16,000 pounds (7,258 kg) and
provides a safe operating speed of up to 67 mph. The name
of this roof is derived from the outside dimensions of the
grid: 43' (13.11 m) deep by 46' (14.02 m) wide. In addition
to the ability to erect the system in just a few hours, all
components of the entire structure easily fit into a mid-sized
truck. The system is shown here without the guy wires that
are required for outdoor installation.

PRT Sunshade roof system 5 x 5
Long demanded by the touring industry, the Pre-Rig Truss
(PRT) Sunshade has quickly become a favorite system for
small to medium-sized productions. Designed for rapid
disassembly and mobility, the PRT Sunshade may be utilized
in a variety of venues. More importantly, the system is built
from industry standard components, like 93” Double Hung
Pre-Rig Truss and Mark I Towers, which add to its versatility.
Two options are available. The “Peaked” Sunshade is
patterned after our BFT, where the cross stage runs of truss
are sloped approximately 5% to form a peak in the center.
A canopy is attached to the components of the main body.
The “Flat” Sunshade (shown below) incorporates a canopy
rail system above a flat Pre-Rig Truss grid to form the roof’s
pitch. Both options are available with PA Wings formed
with a 123” section of Double-Hung Pre-Rig Truss used to
connect each downstage tower to an additional tower.
It provides a safe operating windspeed of up to 67 mph
and the live loads (equipment loads) that can be applied
to the system include a 13,500 pound (6,124 kg) uniformly
distributed load (UDL) on the main grid and 5,000 pound
(2,268 kg) speaker load on each PA Wing - making it ideal for
many applications.

The balance between members and the even distribution of

unbalanced loads could twist the truss resulting in damage.
For optimum weight distribution, it is recommended that the

loads be suspended from the upper chords. All loads should
