Scottruss Steel Truss Fabrication Systems
Scottruss combines Scottsdale’s proprietary hat-channel truss section, the ScotSteel software suite and an industry-exclusive bolted connection into one integrated truss system. ScotSteel automatically generates even the most complex roof and floor geometries, including hips, valleys and domes, in minutes, and Scottruss fabricates them without shop drawings. Built in Scottsdale’s own factory in New Zealand, the Scottruss 6050 and Scottruss 6075 produce cold-formed steel roof and floor trusses for everything from homes to warehouses, working on their own or alongside other Scottsdale roll formers.

- Simple and intuitive, so new operators learn it quickly
- Longer spans than in-line C-section truss systems can reach
- Virtually zero scrap, with every member made to exact length
- No jigs, framing tables or shop drawings
- Bolted connections that hold firm in transit and on site
- Combines freely with Scotpanel 7090 trusses by span and load
- A small footprint that fits inside a container factory
- Light trusses that crews carry by hand, cutting labor and reducing the load on the walls below

WATCH Light-Gauge Steel Truss Design, Engineering, Fabrication & Site Erection.
This video follows a Scottruss project from start to finish. Floor framing is designed in ScotSteel and engineered in ScotStruct, then sent straight to the Scottruss roll former, which turns coil into finished, bolt-ready members with no shop drawings or manual layout. The crew assembles the trusses without jigs or framing tables, and the video ends with the finished floor system installed on site.
- Smaller crews, faster assembly, lower labor costs
- Up to 9 times lighter than wood and 40% lighter than competing steel trusses
- Virtually zero scrap, with every member cut to length
- Quiet, stiff floors with no squeaks or bounce
- Long spans and heavy loads, wind and snow included
- Intuitive, easy to learn and operate
- Error-free, requires NO shop drawings
