Roof Trusses
Simple, fast, lightweight trusses.
Trusses can be produced in both in-plane and back-to-back configuration. Howick’s dedicated FRAMA™ 4200 truss system makes the production of lightweight steel trusses simple and fast. The single section components allow the entire truss to be produced from a single machine as needed. Howick’s rivet unique system acts as both a fixing and a spacer, as well as providing a connection point for bolts and other connections.
- Lightweight and dimensionally accurate
- Fits standard brackets and ties
- Can be doubled up for longer spans
- Riveted joint allows for bolted attachments
- Howick's rivet is equivalent to 5 standard screws
- The triple section connection (left) reduces the number of fixings and also increases the capacity of the truss.
- Truss spans of 18m are achievable in 0.95mm material dependent on local load requirements. Longer truss spans are available using the dedicated FRAMA™ 4200 system with thinner materials than the framing optimized machines.
- The Howick truss system is supported by a range of design packages allowing the design of the truss structures.
