MLT THREE 5 Foot Pre-Rig Truss by HOF Germany

Overview

Introducing the ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT MLT THREE 5 Foot Pre-Rig Truss by HOF, the compact pre-rig segment purpose-built for the production crews who need the full power of the HOF MLT THREE platform in a shorter, more versatile section. If you are building tight overhead configurations, filling gaps in a longer run, or adding an MLT THREE segment to a rig where a full 8 ft or 10 ft section simply does not fit the layout, this is the piece that completes the system. Engineered in Germany to the same exacting standards as every other section in the MLT THREE family, it connects directly into your existing MLT THREE inventory and gives you the same open bottom design, the same steel rotatable fork connectors, and the same HOF HD powder coat finish, just at 5 ft. This is not a stripped-down option. It is the same truss, made shorter.

Open Bottom Design The ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT carries over the defining feature of the MLT THREE series: no closed head frame at the bottom. That open bay gives your crew full, unobstructed access to mount moving lights, LED fixtures, and complete video modules directly into the truss section. There is no frame in the way, no workaround needed. Load in faster, build a cleaner rig, and put less strain on your crew over a long multi-day run.

Built for LED Video Wall Configurations The open bottom clearance and compatibility with MLT THREE accessories make this 5 ft section a strong choice for LED video wall builds where panel coverage needs to be precise. Complete LED panel modules, including hanging frames, can be mounted directly inside the truss bay and left in place for transport when used with a compatible dolly. For a rental house managing a high-frequency show schedule, keeping panels mounted and move-ready cuts the labor and the handling risk every time the truck rolls out.

Steel Rotatable Fork Connectors, Male and Female, Included Both male and female steel rotatable fork connectors ship with this section. The forks are made from hardened steel, extend up to approximately 2.4 in (60 mm), and rotate to form vertical or horizontal curves so you can build straight runs, angled configurations, or circular overhead rigs from the same hardware. And because each fork is individually field-replaceable, a connector damaged on a rough load-in takes minutes to swap out rather than pulling the whole section from service.

Unique Fork-Locking System™ Once you use it, you will wonder how you worked without it. The rotatable forks let you set your truss at any angle you need, making it straightforward to build 3D shapes, custom tower configurations, or full truss circles using your standard inventory. Adjusting angles for curves and circular rigs stops being a production headache. And here is what matters most on tour: once you have the right angle dialed in, you lock it in the warehouse and it stays exactly where you set it through transport and through the show. No shifting. No adjustment needed on site. Just show up and build.

Pre-Tension Your Rig. Defeat the Deflection. Anyone who has hung a heavy LED wall knows the problem. The truss sags, the panels shift, and suddenly you have gaps in your screen in front of a packed house. The Unique Fork-Locking System™ on the ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT solves this at the source. Before the truck even leaves the warehouse, you can set a pre-tension, also known as a camber, directly into the truss to compensate for the weight of your LED panels and the truss itself. Lock it in, load it out, and it arrives on site already set to counteract the deflection. The wall goes up straight, and it stays that way.

Save on Repairs, Not on Quality Accidents happen on tour. If a connector on the ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT gets damaged, you do not have to write off the entire truss section. Simply unscrew the fork, swap in a replacement, and you are back in business. Fast turnaround, low cost, and no wasted inventory sitting on a shelf because of one broken component.

Cross-Brand Compatibility The industry-standard 1.90 in (48.3 mm) main tube and the included steel fork connectors let the ProX XTH-MLTLS5FT connect directly to truss systems from other professional manufacturers without adapters or special hardware. If your shop is already running other brands alongside HOF, this section drops right into your existing inventory without any modifications.

Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Construction The MLT THREE is manufactured from Aluminium EN AW 6082 T6, an aerospace-grade alloy selected for high strength-to-weight performance in demanding production environments. The 1.90 x 0.18 in (48.3 x 4.5 mm) main tube paired with 1.18 x 0.12 in (30 x 3 mm) bracing gives you a structure built to carry real professional loads show after show.

HOF Heavy Duty (HD) Powder Coating Every MLT THREE section is finished in HOF's proprietary HD powder coating in RAL 9005 gloss black. This is not a standard finish. It bonds harder and holds up to the kind of abuse that comes with truss going in and out of trucks multiple times a week, resisting chipping, scratching, and abrasion at a significantly higher level than off-the-shelf powder coat.

Fully Compatible with MLT THREE Accessories The ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT is fully compatible with the MLT THREE accessory ecosystem, including the optional double rail system for dual-level fixture suspension inside the truss bay, protection covers, lowering bars, lowering T-bars, distance holders, and the forklift adapter. The full MLT THREE series, including the MLT TWO, shares accessory compatibility, giving you maximum flexibility across your inventory.

Comprehensive Structural Analysis Documentation HOF provides full structural analysis documentation covering standard line load configurations, vertical use, upside-down configurations, horizontal and vertical curved builds, and cantilever applications. This documentation is available for download on the product page and is the paperwork your rigging team needs when pulling permits at venues that require structural compliance documentation.

Please Note ProX XTH-MLT3US5FT includes the MLT THREE 5 ft truss section and the steel rotatable fork connectors (male and female) only. Folding stackable dolly, adjustable telescopic legs, and any optional rail systems are not included and are available separately.
