About the Pasadores truss

Pasadores truss are R-clips: the clip that secures the pin in joints between truss sections. We offer Pasadores truss rental in Madrid and throughout Spain for technicians, production companies and riggers who need to complete the connecting hardware for a build. Pricing is on request: ask for a quote and availability, stating the quantity, dates and truss system.

What it is rented for

Prolyte's manual describes two ways of securing the pin when assembling a truss: with an R-clip or, for a pin with thread and nut, with a rubber washer, washer and self-locking nut. When an R-clip is used, it says to insert the pin through the aligned connector holes (preferably with a copper hammer), secure it with the R-clip and then check that all connections are made properly. These clips are therefore needed on builds whose joints use pins secured with an R-clip and, since Prolyte says damaged connecting hardware should be replaced, it is worth keeping spares on hand. If you also need pins, Peak's catalogue lists Bulón unión truss and Bulón base truss; you can add them to the same quote and availability request.

Key specs

• Type: R-clip, the clip that secures the pin of a truss joint.
• Joints according to Prolyte: the R-clip appears in the conical connection (male connector, female connector and conical truss pin) and in the pin/fork connection (straight truss pin, female fork connector and male pin connector).
• Assembly according to Prolyte: align the connector pin holes, insert the pin (preferably with a copper hammer) with the R-clip hole perpendicular to the length of the truss, secure it with the R-clip and check that all connections are made properly.
• Prolyte also covers pins with thread and nut, which are secured with a rubber washer, washer and self-locking nut instead of an R-clip.
• Prolyte lists R-clips as connecting hardware (alongside straight or conical truss pins, bolts and washers) and states that this hardware wears when inserted and removed frequently, especially due to hammer strokes, and can be regarded as consumables.
• Prolyte says not to use damaged trusses, connectors or pins and to replace damaged connecting hardware; for example, when the R-clip hole is deformed so that the clip can no longer be fitted.
• Global Truss, for example, lists different R-clips by series in its accessories catalogue: F14, F23/F24 and F31–F34/DT44P, in packs of 10.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent Pasadores truss?

Pasadores truss are priced on request (the website shows «Consultar»). Email info@peaksound.es or contact +34 636 410 986 (phone and WhatsApp, Mon–Fri 9:00–14:00 and 15:00–18:00) with the quantity, dates and truss system, and we will confirm price and availability.

What does an R-clip do on a truss?

It secures the pin that joins two truss sections. According to Prolyte's manual, the pin is inserted through the connector holes and secured with the R-clip; positioning the pin so that the hole for the R-clip is perpendicular to the length of the truss makes fitting the clip easier.

Do they fit any truss system?

Not necessarily. Global Truss, for example, lists different R-clips by series (F14, F23/F24 or F31–F34/DT44P), and Prolyte also covers threaded pins that are secured with a self-locking nut instead of an R-clip. Tell us which truss system you are building when you ask for a quote and availability.
