Trussembler

It takes just 80 seconds for two men to make a truss with the new Idaco Trussembler; and for light production, one man can do the job.

Only the most expensive truss machines can equal the man-minute savings of the Trussembler, the manufacturer states; and in its own price class it is 50% faster than others.

Easy truss removal that does not require jiggling is provided by heads that move out of the way. A push of a button automatically assembles the truss after the pieces are placed. There is no need to flip the truss! A-no-nail gusset eliminates nails and nailing labor and makes a strong joint.

Set up time is said to be five to ten minutes, instead of the usual thirty. I{eads are set on rollers, rolled into place and locked. Space required is only 25' x 50'.

It assembles Fink, King Post' Multi-King Post, Scissors, and Flat trusses up to five panels, with chords to sixty feet. Crowns are built in automatically as required.

The Trussembler was designed and field tested and is built by Idaco Engineering and Equipment Company, who are themselves in the truss business. T\ro men can put up a roof in two hours after Idaco delivers the trusses at the plate line with a crane.
