Light Gauge Steel Roof Truss System

Ultra-Span® trusses, developed by MiTek in 1989, are made from galvanized cold-formed steel (CFS) using a patented Z profile for optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Designed with MiTek's Pamir software, these trusses enhance building durability and resilience. Key benefits include ease of construction, lightweight design, and compactness, reducing costs in logistics, foundations, and construction time. Ultra-Span® has won the Southern African Steel Institute's Steel Awards in the Light Steel Fabrication Category four times, most recently for the "Our Lady of Peace Cathedral" in Chad.
