Abstract:	Ballasted Attachment for Temporary Truss Structures or BATTS are used to support Temporary structures typically built in the live event, trade show, and special event marketplace. BATTS provide a quickly deployed, leveled and stable base for which one can mount aluminum box truss too. This allows tower construction equal to the capacity of the truss itself and a flexible outrigger attachment in which many engineering requirements can be achieved. BATTS provide a ballast point to resist the overturn moment and uplift moment of concert roofs and other system that are exposed to environmental conditions. BATTS are constructed from steel and aluminum and possess substantial self-weight.
