While Scotpanel steel framing roll forming systems are used primarily for the prefab of wall panels and other components of steel framing, they can be successfully deployed in fabrication of entire buildings, including economical and efficient C-section in-line steel trusses. This can be done in combination with steel truss roll forming system Scottruss, or by itself, depending on the application, span, and loading conditions. In this particular video, our customer Modern Structural Systems showcases the usage of their Scotpanel 7090G2 and Scottruss 6050G1 in a powerful tandem to create industrial mezzanine floors in concrete tilt-up buildings. Scottsdale advanced steel framing roll forming machinery, in fact, enables fabrication of six different types of steel trusses. This video illustrates the deployment of C-section in-line steel trusses and cold-formed steel hat-channel in-line trusses. The viewer is invited to pay particular attention to the configuration of the C-Section in-line steel trusses built with Scotpanel. They have a particular advantage over traditional C-section in-line trusses due to the presence of a stiffening lip on chord sections, a characteristic feature in Scotpanel-produced steel truss framing. By comparison, competing in-line steel trusses utilize unstiffened track sections, making them prone to premature compression chord buckling.
