Two ways to carry an LED wall on a stand
We build LED wall structures from aluminium event truss, in two ways.
Hung from the venue’s points
A truss frame for a suspended LED screen above the stand. We assemble the frame on the stand floor, mount the LED cabinets on it and attach it to the venue’s hanging points. The venue lifts it and lowers it after the show. A hanging LED screen is seen from the aisles and leaves the floor free.
Ground-built
Ground support truss stands on the floor and needs no ceiling points:
- Truss towers with a top frame (a goalpost) carrying an LED wall.
- Freestanding frames, for example an LED wall behind a reception counter.
- LED columns on a truss tower.
How they differ: truss, portals and towers.
Which option fits your stand
| Situation | Usually fits |
|---|---|
| The hall has hanging points above your stand and you have the right to hang | Hung structure |
| No points above your stand, or hanging is not allowed there | Ground-built structure |
| The deadline for ordering points has passed | Ground-built structure |
| The screen must be at eye level, behind a counter or on a back wall | Ground-built structure |
Height limits come from the venue rules: at SiGMA World, for example, Fiera Roma allows hanging up to 8 m. For a ground-built structure, check the stand height limit in your exhibitor manual.
How we handle the weight
We know the screen weight before the build: our P2.6 screen uses 500 × 500 mm cabinets of about 7 kg each. We size the truss from the truss manufacturer’s load tables.
For a hung screen we send the drawing of the structure with the weights of the truss and the screen. From them the venue calculates its hanging points and the load on each point, and its team lifts and lowers the structure. Know the venue limits early: at SiGMA World, Fiera Roma’s rules give 140 kg per point. Who orders and approves what: hanging points at trade shows.
LED screen and structure from one supplier
One supplier delivers:
- the LED screen;
- the truss structure for it;
- assembly on the stand;
- cabling;
- dismantling after the show.
Operator shifts are billed separately. We plan the screen, the frame and the cable route together.
LED options: our own indoor P2.6 LED in Warsaw, about 50 m² of cabinets, flat or curved up to 10° per joint. Other pitches, such as P1.9, P2.9 and P3.9, and outdoor LED on request. Specs: LED screens; rental terms: LED screen rental; back walls and booth video walls: LED displays for trade show booths.
Truss hidden behind LED or panels, on request
On request, we clad a truss frame with LED screens or decorative panels, so visitors see the screens and surfaces, not the truss.
For stand builders and agencies
We can build the LED structure and install the screen as your subcontractor, under your name, from your drawings and build-up schedule. You get the drawing, the truss specifications and the screen weights for your stand plan submission. Our crews work on LED and AV at ICE Barcelona, SiGMA, iGB and SBC: see SOFTSWISS at ICE Barcelona 2025. Need the whole stand designed and built? See exhibition stand design and build.
What to send for a quote
- The show, its dates, hall and stand number.
- Screen size and position: above the stand, behind a counter, on a back wall or as columns.
- Pixel pitch, if you know it, and flat or curved.
- Stand drawings: plan and elevations.
- Venue limits, if you have them: points, load per point, height, deadlines.
Send them via contacts; we reply with a full net quote within 24 hours. Hanging banners and signs: hanging structures; all structure types: truss structures for exhibition stands.
Frequently asked questions
Can an LED screen be hung at ICE Barcelona?
Yes. Fira is the sole provider for all rigging: the points are ordered in the Fira Store, and the exhibitor buys the right to hang through Clarion Gaming. Order between late November and mid-December 2026; check the date in your Exhibitor Technical Manual. Details: hanging structures at ICE Barcelona.
What does a 5 × 3 m LED wall weigh?
In our P2.6 cabinets it is 60 cabinets of about 7 kg, so about 420 kg, plus the truss and cables. We send the weights with the drawing.
Hung or ground-built: which costs less?
It depends on the screen, the show and the venue; a hung structure also needs points ordered from the venue. Send us the stand drawing and show dates; we reply with a full net quote within 24 hours.
Do you supply both the LED screen and the structure?
Yes. We deliver the screen and the truss structure, assemble and cable them, and dismantle them after the show. Operator shifts are billed separately.
