Why use light gauge steel trusses?

MiTek

Is your roof too large to be done in pre-fabricated timber or are you shipping roofs into Africa and paying dearly for transport?

Maybe you wish to supply low-cost roofs or simply prefer non-combustible roof structures?

The Ultra-Span® Light Gauge Steel Truss System offers a solution.

Local MiTek licenced fabricators can provide design and pricing information on Ultra-Span®, utilising state of the art MiTek 20/20® software.

Ultra-Span® trusses can be supplied in ‘kit-form’ (low-cost housing or other remote projects) whereby trusses are assembled on site, and thus contributing to local skills transfer and employment, or in pre-fabricated form ready for installation of the roof.

Advantages of the Ultra-Span® light gauge steel truss system:

  • Elegant simple system, with all members straight and true for a level roof.
  • Span capability from small low-cost to large 40m clear span commercial structures.
  • Longevity of product due to galvanised coating plus inherent properties of non-combustibility, resistance to borer and fungus attack.
  • Lower weight reduces transportation costs and improves handling and erection.
  • Ease of truss manufacture with screws and electric fixing tool directly on site or in factory conditions
