Questions about truss F42
How much does the F42 carry at my span?
That is in the load table above and in the data sheet: for spans of 3 to 14 m, the permitted uniformly distributed load, the centre point load and the third-point load, each with deflection. For your specific construction with load points, suspension or towers, we prepare structural calculations on request.
Does the F42 fit trusses from other makers?
The F42 is joined with a conical euro connection. According to the BÜTEC catalogue, this connection is compatible with various systems from other manufacturers; bolted connections are also possible. Tell us the maker and type of your stock and we will check the fit.
Can the F42 be combined with F43 and F44?
Yes, according to the manufacturer the F42 combines with the F43 and F44 systems. Connectors and spacers exist for the whole F4x size class (F42, F43, F44).
