Reduce Material Costs
Improve Job Safety
Improve accuracy
Truslock tools save time by speeding up some parts
of the job and eliminating others altogether.
Conventional methods requiring crane operators to maneuver
trusses under projected lateral bracing and for workmen to drive nails from
awkward positions are time consuming and no longer necessary.
Truslock tools unfold space at a time as needed. They speed
up the crane by not projecting out so far as to interfere with truss placement
and since there is no nailing required the job is completed in a fraction
of the time.
The Truslock system is always accurate, eliminating the need
to make spacing adjustments after the job is in place. This allows a one
step through approach to the job, including all permanent bracing as you
go. At times, Truslock tools can be substituted with permanent bracing and
moved forward and reused throughout the length of the job.
Truslock customers report savings of thirty percent or more
in labor and crane costs.

Accurate even on long jobs
Truslock tools inter-connect forming a rated brace that is
accurate to 1/8 inch in 100 feet. Accuracy to this degree enables workmen
to brace permanently as the job goes together. This usually saves a step
and improves safety as well.
Get serious about job safety
Truss installation may well represent the most hazardous job
faced by your workmen. Accidents here tend to be very serious in nature
and usually involve several people. In short, the risks are simply too great
to overlook. Since many of these accidents are caused by human error, one
should first realize that no tool can take the place of a careful and well
trained crew. However, in many ways, Truslock offers a safer approach to
the job by eliminating many of the more dangerous situations that contribute
to the accidents.
- With conventional methods a dangerous situation occurs
as crane operators maneuver trusses under projected lateral bracing. Once
under, if the truss is picked up too high, it will strip bracing off trusses
already in place. Unlike conventional methods, Truslock tools extend space
at a time as needed allowing the crane to place trusses without this interference.
- Truslock tools carry a 450 lb. strength rating for the
completed assembly and since the tools can be connected together, this
strength rating can be extended throughout the length of the job.
- Truslock connections are much more positive than conventional
nail on methods. As workmen struggle to drive nails from awkward positions,
it is all too easy to miss the objective.
- Truslock tools are accurate to 1/8 inch per 100 feet. This
degree of accuracy allows the permanent bracing to be included as the job
progresses. Nothing improves safety more than bracing permanently as
the job goes together.
- Truslock accuracy eliminates the need to make spacing corrections
after the job is in place. Unfortunately many jobs fall as workmen remove
bracing in order to make corrections.
- The Truslock system also reduces risk by cutting exposure
time. With Truslock the job simply doesn't take as long.
Material costs are high now and bound to go higher
in the future.
Any savings here will accumulate over time. Truslock tools
are very durable and completely reusable.
