Ultra-Span® trusses were developed in the USA by MiTek in 1989. They are manufactured from galvanised cold formed steel (CFS) using a patented Z profile that provides the best strength to mass ratio of any Cold-Formed Steel on the market. Each Ultra-Span® roof truss is designed using the power of MiTek’s industry leading Pamir roof engineering software, which means your building will be stronger, last longer and enjoy greater resiliency for the duration of its design. Key advantages of Ultra-Span® trusses are the simplicity of construction, they are light weight as well as compact, which provides project savings in logistics, foundations and speed of construction.

Simplicity of use and low tech, made Ultra-Span® an unexpected favourite for communities using local unskilled labour to build affordable residential units. The unexpected success of Ultra-Span® in this short span sector defies the intended “Ultra-Span®” and is proof that you don’t choose your market, the market chooses you.
