Roof Truss Installation with TrussSpacers from MiTek Australia

TrussSpacers speed up roof truss erection

MiTek TrussSpacers have been specifically designed to help installers working at heights to work in a more OH&S-friendly environment. But for some, the safety advantage, whilst welcome, isn't the only benefit! Ron Hume, a seasoned carpenter working under contract with Fairlight Homes in Sydney, uses them for a number of reasons. 'TrussSpacers make trusses so much easier to install. They are such a simple, yet effective way of temporarily fixing trusses...and the job seems to go up so much quicker. I find they are especially handy when trying to erect large trusses.'

We were first introduced to TrussSpacers by our (licensed) MiTek fabricator, Precision Frames & Trusses,' added Ron.

A feature popular with most builders is: the MiTek TrussSpacers' unique 'pivoting end' design. Unlike other, more cumbersome imitations, the MiTek TrussSpacer has a nail at one end and a multi-toothed connector (hook) at the other. This allows the truss erector to easily and effortlessly nail the TrussSpacer in at one end - then swing the other into place and fix with a few more hits of a hammer. 'They're great...and so simple to use,' said Ron.
