Grapple allows you to make inline 90 deg connections between similar trusses anywhere along a perpendicular primary truss. 
The load capacity of the inline truss will carry 75 percent of the manufacturer's load rating. 
The primary truss must have point load calculations taken into consideration. 
The secondary trusses must be supported at both ends. 
Cantilevering of truss is not recommended.



MOTOR POINT ATTACHMENT
REQUIRES MOTOR POINT ACCESSORY
The motor point attachment allows a chain hoist to be attached directly to the truss with no additional hardware. Will support a 1 ton (2,000 pound) load. Available for medium-duty, heavy-duty, and PRT truss only.

TRUSS ACCESS LADDER
REQUIRES TRUSS LADDER ACCESSORY
Finally there is an easier and safer way to access your rig. Now you can simply climb up a wire rope ladder onto the grapple ladder and safely step onto the top of the truss. Will safely support a 200 pound worker with a 200 pound worker anchoring the rope ladder at the floor

OUTRIGGER ATTACHMENT
REQUIRES POST/OUTRIGGER ACCESSORY
The post/outrigger unit in a horizontal position will support lights, cable, traveler tracks etc. Will support a load, perpendicular to the truss, at a distance beyond the truss face. Load weight not to exceed 6900 pound-inches, e.g. 300 pounds at 23 inches from truss face.

SIDE POST ATTACHMENT
REQUIRES POST/OUTRIGGER ACCESSORY
The post/outrigger assembly provides secure vertical support. It can be used for fixture mounting or as support for a handrail system on catwalks and spot bridges. Capable of supporting a handrail load of 200 pounds at a standard handrail height of 42 inches above the truss face. Spacing between vertical members must not exceed 12 foot 6 inches if used for handrail.

Grapples must be installed by qualified rigging personnel only. Incorrect use of Grapples may cause hazardous conditions and possible injury. Only use Grapples for applications and loadings described in TMB's Grapple Application Guide. A qualified engineer must approve all other applications.
