Mild Steel Trusses: Strong, Versatile, and Ideal for Long Spans

What Are Mild Steel Trusses?

Mild steel trusses are structural frameworks made from mild steel, a low-carbon steel known for its strength, durability, and versatility. These trusses are designed to support roofs, floors, and other structural elements, making them ideal for large-scale projects requiring long spans and heavy load-bearing capabilities.

Key Features:

  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:Mild steel trusses are lightweight yet incredibly strong, making them perfect for large-span structures.
  • Durability:Resistant to warping, rot, and pests, mild steel trusses offer long-lasting performance.
  • Service Integration:The open web design allows for easy integration of services like ducts, pipes, and electrical wiring.
  • Cost-Effective:Ideal for large projects due to their efficiency and reduced need for intermediate supports.

 

Applications of Mild Steel Trusses

Mild steel trusses are versatile and can be used in a variety of projects, including:

  • Industrial Buildings:Warehouses, factories, and manufacturing plants benefit from the large spans and heavy load capacity of mild steel trusses.
  • Commercial Spaces:Shopping malls, office buildings, and retail centers use mild steel trusses for their open, column-free interiors.
  • Long-Span Structures:Sports arenas, aircraft hangars, and event venues rely on mild steel trusses for their ability to cover vast areas without intermediate supports.
  • Agricultural Buildings:Barns, storage sheds, and livestock shelters use mild steel trusses for their durability and cost-effectiveness.
