What is a Rea Frame? What are its uses? An article analyzing its principles, features, and specifications.
If you're new to stage equipment, you might be confused when you hear terms like "reactor truss" and "truss structure." What exactly is a reactor truss? What are its uses? How does it differ from a truss structure? Today, we'll share the principles, features, and specifications of a reactor truss, giving you a quick introduction to it. Let's read on!
What is a Layher scaffold?
The scaffolding is a structure often used for outdoor activities and indoor stage construction. It has many nicknames. It is also called roulette scaffolding in the industry. Different places also have different names, such as tension grid, pressure grid, etc. The name "Rhea scaffolding" comes fromGermany's Layher, because the principle of the rheostat was invented by this German company.
What is the difference between the Rea frame and the TRUSS structure? Analysis of the principles and characteristics
When it comes to stage construction and hardware setup, besides the Rhea truss, the most common structure is the Truss structure. What are the differences between the two, and what are their uses? This article will explain the differences between the two structures by introducing the principles, features, and dimensions of the Rhea truss.
What is the Rea Frame Principle?
On the pillarweldingStamp the wheel or cast steel, then pass the crossbar through the crossbar head to connect the wheel on the column, and finally fix it with pins and pins to make a rheostat structure, which is the basic principle of the rheostat.
What are the characteristics of the Rea Frame?
"Easy to install and disassemble" is the biggest feature of the Rea truss. It can have a stable structure with simple installation, and it can also reduce the demolition cost with easy disassembly. Therefore, it is widely used in building support, stage background, lighting installation and other places.
Introduction to the size and specifications of the Rhea frame
The Rhea frame has certain dimensions and specifications and is composed of the following structures:
- Circular tube structure (standard length and width 2m * 2m)
- Crossbar (2.25mm * 48mm diameter)
- Rea column (2.75mm * 48mm)
- Oblique pull (2.25mm * diameter 48mm)
- Screw
- Base, chassis
What is the difference between a Rhea frame and a TRUSS structure?
In addition to the differences in principles, materials and specifications, the biggest difference is the load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing capacity of the rheostat is better than that of the TRUSS structure. Therefore, in addition to being used for lighting, sound and stage installation, rheostat can also be seen in the construction of bridges and large buildings.

As mentioned above, trusses can be used for support when building bridges and large buildings. For stage construction, trusses have the following three main uses:
- Hanging lighting and sound equipment
- Set up a temporary tent to store equipment or as a resting space for performers
- Stage stairs and temporary internal ladders can also be built using Rhea scaffolding
