Nick Addison from Tag Frames, Australia, showcases how they use the Scottruss roll forming machines to go far beyond standard trusses, leveraging this powerful roll forming technology for wide-span roof trusses, deep floor joists, flat ceilings, cathedral and raked ceilings, skillion roofs, and other complex steel framing applications. Scottruss is a high-capacity roll former engineered to produce hat-section profiles for both roof and floor steel trusses. Ideal for residential and industrial steel framing, the roll forming machine supports a wide range of steel structures, from multi-story buildings and mezzanines to barn roofs, carports, roof restoration projects, and new builds. Nick emphasizes how easy it is to assemble the cold-formed steel components on site. The lightweight cold-formed steel trusses can be positioned by just two people with no crane, making installation faster and more efficient than ever.
The Scottruss 6050 roll forming machine is designed as a high-performance solution for fabricating 50 mm top-hat profiles for roof and floor trusses. The machine can form cold-formed steel components that, when assembled, can produce a wide range of deep joist and truss systems, providing significant flexibility across residential and commercial projects. Because it integrates seamlessly with Scottsdale’s software environment, Scottruss 6050 provides a direct path from architectural design to fabrication, with no manual file conversion or workflow interruption.
The Scottruss 6050 is offered in two tiers of G1 standard edition and G2 enhanced edition to match different production needs and budgets. The G1 is positioned as a foundational model, equipped with manual gauge adjustment, the basic toolsets across ten roll stations, making it suitable for shops entering truss manufacturing or maintaining moderate throughput.
In contrast, the G2 edition adds automation and advanced features such as automatic coil gauge adjustment, ink-jet labeling, and upgraded safety and tool versatility. These enhancements make the G2 edition better suited for higher-volume operations looking to reduce manual intervention and maximize efficiency.
