TrusSteel CFS trusses are among the lightest and strongest steel framing. They are an excellent alternative to heavier steel framing and other trusses, such as "C" stud trusses or stick framing. Because of their superior lateral stiffness and high strength-to- weight ratio, TrusSteel trusses may be lifted and installed without the use of a crane. This can provide a significant benefit on projects or structures built in areas with limited access. ENGINEERED BY ALPINE A P P L I C AT I O N S
