Global Truss DT3900L

The Global Truss DT-3900L is a medium-duty crank stand for lifting lighting bars, small truss spans, and production equipment safely overhead. A geared crank raises and lowers loads smoothly, a wide outrigger base keeps the stand stable, and a 250 lb maximum load capacity handles typical event lighting rigs. It’s a dependable choice for DJs, event companies, churches, schools, and rental inventories.

Global Truss DT-3900L: Safe, Controlled Lifting

Crank stands let one person raise loaded lighting bars or truss without lifting heavy weight overhead. The DT-3900L’s crank mechanism provides smooth, controlled movement in both directions, and the minimum load rating ensures the mechanism works properly when the stand is loaded.

Stable Base

The wide outrigger legs spread to roughly 5 feet, creating a stable footprint for overhead loads, and fold down compactly for storage and transport.

Setting Up the DT-3900L

Place the stand on a level surface, fully extend and lock the outrigger legs, and attach a T-bar or truss adapter. Mount and secure fixtures with safety cables, then crank the stand up to working height and lock it. Sandbag the legs outdoors or in high-traffic areas, and never exceed the rated load.

What to Pair With the DT-3900L

Pair the DT-3900L with a Global Truss T-bar or truss adapter, lighting fixtures, safety cables, sandbags, and a padded stand bag.

Typical Uses

Use a pair of DT-3900L stands to lift a short truss span for front lighting, or mount a T-bar of PARs and moving heads above a DJ booth or stage. It’s also handy for lifting small speakers and banners at events.

Safety Reminders

Always stay within the 250 lb maximum load, center loads on the stand, and keep the area beneath the rig clear during raising and lowering. Inspect the cable, crank, and locking pins before each use.

Built for the Road

With a folded height of about 6 feet and a weight around 46 pounds, the DT-3900L transports easily in a van or trailer for regular event use.
