No matter if the installation is simple or complex, or happens on a small scale or a large scale, we offer the right base plate in our store. Together with our best rental equipment, we ensure safety by consulting on rigging, providing calculations, assistance with the set-up, inspections, plus professional supervision of the rigging at your event.

Engineering Excellence and Safety Standards

Advanced Load-Bearing Specifications

The load capacity of our truss plates and weights is high because they are made from certified structural steel that is designed for comprehensive safety. The engineering in this frame makes sure that each item is balanced and supports the structure well no matter how complicated the setup. When you use your equipment for lighting trusses, video walls, or suspended decorations, it will be supported so securely that no accidents can happen and safety will always be upheld. We stock truss hardware that is tested independently and has gained third-party engineering certifications for steady performance.

Professional Rigging and Safety Support

With EventStarts, you work with pros who are licensed and experienced in all areas of rigging to make sure both the setup and the inspection are done correctly. It is important to us that load calculations are correct, the connections are safe, and weight is thoroughly distributed to ensure your structure performs to the highest standard. We make sure to deliver and set up hardware, install rigging and safety systems, do regular inspections and paperwork, and keep an eye on loading during the event, so you can dedicate all your time to making the show perfect for your audience.

System Integration and Rigging Compatibility

We are proud to provide truss hardware that works well with your existing aluminum trusses, steel beams, chain hoists, and suspension systems. Thanks to this fit, the load is balanced best and it takes less time to install the foundation. Highly skilled members of our rigging team study your setup thoroughly, provide all essential equipment, and design a complete rigging system that keeps your equipment safe and, at the same time, allows it to meet its weight requirements.

Hardware Packages

Comprehensive Hardware Package Options

Since all events have special structure and safety issues, our rentals are built to work in different conditions and be dependable. If your installation needs are simple and light, you can choose from Basic Hardware Packages, while Heavy-Duty Solutions are made for when you want to rig heavy equipment. We supply standard packages that consist of top plates and connection hardware, as well as Complete Rigging Solutions package that has reinforced base plates, added ballast weights, certified shackles, and we provide professional supervision during installation. We have the hardware needed for events that include anything from a 500-pound light rig to a 10,000-pound video wall.

Expert Consultation and Custom Engineering

Every package includes the service of our technicians to help choose the right hardware and safety requirements for your specific project. The certified rigging pros we send to the site partner with you to determine your load challenges, the rules for using the venue, and safety measures, and recommend the best possible equipment that will remain within your given budget. Along with good value, we maintain our promise of high safety and engineering by making our prices clear and open.

Quality Assurance and Safety Commitment

Here at EventStarts, we keep safety and dependability as our main concerns by only relying on specially inspected and load-tested structural hardware. When setting up and setting truss rigging, our crews strictly follow the safety rules of OSHA, so that all truss plates, weights, and required hardware are completely secured for the whole event time. With regular check-ups and thorough safety checks before an event, we try to avoid any failures in structures or connections that may threaten the event’s success or the safety of attendees. Putting engineering needs, safety standards, and reliable components first makes sure your structures are perfect, boosts your reputation as an organizer, and relieves all worries for your team and the venue.

Essential Rigging Foundations and Ballast Solutions

Professional Base Plates for Stable Support

When ground-supported truss systems and vertical structures require rock-solid foundations, base plates rental from EventStarts provides the industrial-grade platforms that anchor rigging safely throughout your event. Our 30x30-inch bolt truss base plates offer substantial surface area distributing loads across floors while providing secure mounting points for vertical truss sections creating towers, goal posts, and other ground-supported structures. These heavy-duty steel plates handle the vertical loads and lateral forces that freestanding rigging systems experience, preventing tipping, shifting, or settling that compromises both safety and equipment positioning. For pipe-based systems, our 19-inch pipe base plates with integrated 50-pound weights provide proper foundations for lighting stands, speaker poles, and banner supports where compact footprints matter but stability cannot be compromised. The right base plate selection depends on your structure height, equipment loads, and floor surface characteristics, ensuring foundations that keep vertical elements plumb and secure regardless of activity levels around installations.

Ballast Weights for Wind and Stability

Outdoor productions and temporary structures face wind loads and dynamic forces requiring substantial ballast preventing dangerous movement or tipping, which is why EventStarts provides comprehensive weight solutions from portable sandbags to massive concrete blocks. Our 25-pound sandbags offer versatile ballast for securing tent stakes, weighting lighting stands, anchoring backdrops, and stabilizing smaller structures where distributed weight placement provides optimal results. For substantial outdoor rigging like truss towers, banner poles, and large tent installations, our 500-pound block and roll concrete weights with white vinyl covers provide serious anchoring capacity while maintaining professional appearance. These heavy ballast solutions meet engineering calculations for wind resistance, ensuring outdoor structures remain stable even when weather conditions deteriorate unexpectedly. The block and roll design with integrated wheels allows positioning heavy weights efficiently despite their mass, making setup and teardown manageable without requiring forklifts for every adjustment.

Safety Compliance and Load Distribution

Professional rigging safety extends beyond simply adding weight, requiring proper load distribution, appropriate ballast quantities, and documentation meeting venue and insurance requirements. EventStarts helps calculate ballast needs based on structure heights, wind exposure, equipment loads, and local weather patterns, ensuring your installations meet engineering standards rather than relying on guesswork. Our team understands that different structures require different weighting strategies, from perimeter weighting for tent installations to base loading for vertical towers to distributed ballasting for truss grids. This expertise prevents both under-ballasting that creates dangerous instability and over-ballasting that wastes budget on unnecessary weight. For events requiring formal engineering documentation, we provide load calculations and ballast specifications satisfying venue officials, insurance providers, and inspectors who rightfully demand proof that temporary structures will remain secure throughout events.

At EventStarts, we care deeply about the foundational elements that keep rigging systems stable and safe. With over a decade of experience in temporary structure installation, we've learned that proper base plates and adequate ballasting aren't optional considerations but rather essential safety measures. We love what we do, and that commitment shows in our comprehensive inventory of foundation equipment and our insistence on proper engineering practices that protect people, equipment, and our reputation for professional installations that never compromise safety.
