ULTRA-SPAN®
CREATING THE ADVANTAGE WITH LIGHT GAUGE STEEL
When timber reaches its limits, MiTek provides the engineered alternative. The Ultra-Span Light Gauge Steel Truss System delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance for large-span and non-combustible structures. Designed for efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability, UltraSpan enables cost-effective solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Supported by MiTek’s global expertise and Design-Make-Build approach, Ultra-Span optimises material use, accelerates installation, and ensures consistent, high-quality outcomes that transform how you design, make, and build.
Available through an extensive network of licensed MiTek truss manufacturers, Ultra-Span is ideal for both local and export applications.
WHY ULTRA-SPAN ®
Ultra-Span is engineered for strength, precision, and efficiency. Whether prefabricated or manufactured on-site, it delivers exceptional performance while reducing installation time and overall cost.
Non-Combustible and Vermin-Proof
Ultra-Span is designed to deliver long-term durability and safety. Its non-combustible and vermin-proof properties make it a standout choice for projects requiring fire resistance and performance in harsh environments.
Optimised Design for Strength and Efficiency
MiTek Ultra-Span trusses feature proprietary profiles engineered for maximum strength-to-weight performance, using less steel per metre. Supported by MiTek Pamir software, each design delivers precise load calculations and material efficiency tailored to specific project requirements.
Versatility Across Spans
Ultra-Span supports a wide range of applications, from small residential roofs to large commercial spans of up to 35 metres, made possible by its comprehensive profile range and engineering flexibility.
Ease of Assembly and Installation
Ultra-Span trusses can be prefabricated or manufactured on-site for fast, accurate assembly. Large roof sections can be preassembled on the ground and lifted into place, making Ultra-Span a practical, efficient solution for large-span structures.
Award-Winning Innovation in Steel Design
Our Lady of Peace Cathedral
The Our Lady of Peace Cathedral in Chad showcased Ultra-Span’s capability to deliver largescale, efficient roof structures. Using 120 tonnes of cold-formed steel across 850 centres, the project overcame complex logistics and earned a Steel Award for demonstrating how innovative steel technologies enhance both structural performance and architectural beauty.

Long-Span Flexibility for Healthcare Design
Mediclinic Centurion
Ultra-Span was integral to the long-span roof of Mediclinic Centurion, enabling large open spaces without internal supports. Ideal for healthcare environments, the system provides flexibility for future layout changes and simplifies the installation of mechanical, electrical, and medical services while maintaining structural integrity and design efficiency.
Efficient and Cost-Effective Steel Solution GLA School Hall
Ultra-Span was selected for its cost efficiency and ability to span large areas with minimal material use. Lightweight steel trusses provided the strength, durability, and speed needed to complete the GLA School Hall on time and within budget, achieving both aesthetic and structural goals through smart design and efficient construction.
