Modulus-X®

Modulus-X® is a modular aluminium truss system, designed and machined in Canada by people who rig on set themselves. We call it the highest-quality modular truss on the market, and we say that as its exclusive distributor everywhere outside North America.

Two profiles share one logic: every face of every component carries the same machined bolt pattern. Cubes and spans bolt into camera cars, crane and dolly platforms, flying frames and complete temporary structures, and come apart just as fast.

2 series · connections every 3″ · center loads to 6,920 kg · 6061 aluminium
Made in Canada · Built by grips

Higher loads, faster builds, no loose hardware.

Configurable, relocatable truss structures, built for high load ratings at low weight and designed by the people who rig with it on set.

Cubes and spans

The whole system is two kinds of parts. Spans run from a 6-inch cube to 10-foot lengths; Mx|99| adds 9-inch and 18-inch steps. Every face carries the same bolt pattern with connection points every 3 inches, so any part bolts to any other. There is no special piece to wait for.

One bolt pattern on every face

One bolt, one tool

Connections close with a two-part flange bolt assembly: one wrench, no steel couplers, no loose hardware. Inset end caps and precision-machined holes carry the load through the profile itself, which is why the system gets by with minimal welding.

The off-axis bolt pattern

The off-axis pattern is what sets the geometry free: Mx|66| connects every 45 degrees, Mx|99| every 22.5. Angles, offsets and rotated joints come out of the standard parts instead of custom steel.

Raw or Hart-Coat®

Every component ships as raw aluminium or with Hart-Coat®, a surface-hardened anodising for parts that live on trucks, in rain and in salt air. Black Hart-Coat® is available on request for both series.

Two series

Mx|66| is the working profile for camera rigs, track support and vehicle mounts. Mx|99| carries the big spans: frames, platforms and structures. Both interconnect.

The 6-inch series: quick to build, stiff under load.
