Global Truss Silencer Global Truss has introduced the truss Silencer, a rubber damper that is easily pushed onto the end of a truss pin to reduce noise when assembling truss structures. The Silencer is designed to decrease the volume when hammering truss pins by around 50 per cent while dampening the high pitch frequencies significantly. The company says a special rubber blend is used in pro- duction to make the Silencer flexible yet hard enough to transfer the force of the hammer effectively while preserving the material of the pin and the copper hammer. The Silencer has been designed to be left on the truss pins while fitted to the truss, providing protection to the truss but also the surface it is sitting upon. An- other added feature is that it offers camouflage when silver pins are used on black truss.
