International Truss Systems - The first full System provider to hold the SABS 9001certificate in South Africa.

For over 19 years International Truss Systems have been the industry's provider of the ITS galvanised steel connector plate, used primarily in the manufacture of prefabricated roof trusses. Connector plates are used to produce rigid, distortion free joints of strength greater than any other form of timber jointing. This strength, plus the greater resistance to rust given by the use of galvanised steel, ensures a greater life-cycle. With modern methods of construction, prefabricated trusses provide added value towards the overall build process by reducing the time required on site. These SABS approved connector plates are manufactured at our Jet Park base and distributed throughout South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.

Tri-Joist^® Metal webs are 'V' shaped components made of galvanised steel and are used in the construction of the ITS Tri-Joist^®, the innovative floor joist system. They have connector plates top and bottom for fixing to timber flanges and are available in five different sizes. When combined with the parallel stress graded timber flanges they form Tri-Joist^® beams, giving an open web floor that can clear span large distances. The metal webs are pressed in to the timber flanges using an Tri-Joist^® press which uses external and internal clamps to ensure a quality product is manufactured every time.

The application of Tri-Joist^® with its design practicalities of being an open web based system, is used in a wide variety of construction areas in loose or cassette form for floors and roofs and is applicable for houses, flats and commercial buildings.

We are at the forefront of machine technology, providing customers with a comprehensive range of manually or CNC controlled manufacturing machinery for truss, Tri-joist^® and special products manufacturing. With full mechanical installation services, backup and training provided for truss and Tri-Joist^® manufacturing, the client base has the peace of mind that a `one stop shop' for engineering services is fully available.

International Truss Systems also supply a range of equipment from Randek, AV Birch, DePauw and Pacific Automation.
