Smart, Strong, and Custom-Made: What You Get
Our steel roof trusses are fabricated using the industry-leading Scottsdale Total Solution system, which integrates 3D modelling, engineering, and automated rollforming to ensure millimetre accuracy across every component.
Key Technical Features:
- Fully engineered to AS/NZS 4600 cold-formed steel standards
- 70mm, 90mm and 140mm framing members depending on structural load and span
- Designed to suit a wide range of roof pitches, from flat to 45+ degrees
- Compatible with ceiling battens, top chords, girder trusses and more
- High-tensile galvanised steel (G550 / AZ150 coating) for corrosion resistance
- Optional anti-condensation blanket or sarking pre-attached (on request)
- Pre-punched for services (electrical, HVAC)
- Trusses can be supplied as full-span or broken into transportable modules
- Tie-downs, connectors and bracing options supplied as part of kit
Whether you’re designing for cyclone-prone coasts, inland thermal zones or bushfire-rated areas, we ensure every truss is engineered to suit your site and comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and all relevant Australian Standards.
Why Builders Across Queensland Choose Manuframe
Build Faster, Smarter, and Safer
Manuframe trusses have been used in everything from suburban homes and transportable buildings to aircraft hangars, schools, and mining camps.
Our systems are designed to help you:
Speed Up Construction Timelines
Trusses arrive at the site clearly labelled, pre-drilled, and ready for rapid installation. No cutting or measuring needed. Pair with our wall frames for a full load-bearing steel structure that goes up in days.
Reduce On-Site Labour and Equipment Costs
Because our steel trusses are lightweight and accurate, you don’t need heavy machinery or large crews for setup. A two-person team with basic tools can install an entire roof structure in a fraction of the time.
Eliminate Timber Risks
Steel trusses are immune to termite attack, rot, shrinkage, and warping . These are all major concerns when building in Queensland’s humid or coastal environments. They also offer superior performance in bushfire-prone areas.
Ensure Design and Engineering Compliance
Our in-house engineers review all truss designs for structural integrity and compliance. We work directly with certifiers where needed to simplify your approvals process.
Achieve Clean, Modern Aesthetics
Steel allows for longer spans and slimmer rooflines. Ideal for architectural homes or modern commercial buildings where exposed steel is a design feature.
Designed. Built. Delivered. Installed.
We understand the challenges of building in regional Queensland: distance, weather, labour shortages, and transport logistics. That’s why we’ve created a simple, builder-friendly process from start to finish.
1. Design & Engineering
Send us your plans, and we’ll develop a full truss layout, including bracing, tie-down points, and loading analysis. We also support 3D modelling to help visualise roof geometry before fabrication.
2. Manufacture
Trusses are fabricated in-house using high-precision rollformers. Our software ensures components are cut, notched, and punched exactly to plan. This guarantees fast fitment and reduces rework onsite.
3. Delivery
We offer flexible delivery formats depending on your site requirements:
- Preassembled trusses for crane lifting
- Flat-packed for remote access or tight storage sites
- Labelled and bundled for staged installation
We service all of Central and North Queensland, with regular freight runs from Rockhampton to Bundaberg, Mackay, and Townsville.
4. Installation
If required, our experienced install team can erect your trusses onsite. Otherwise, we provide detailed guides, fixings, and phone support to assist your crew throughout the project.
Need more than just trusses? We also offer complete steel wall frames, joists, and modular components. They are all built in the same factory for seamless integration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Steel Roof Trusses
What is the lifespan of a steel roof truss?
Steel trusses can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Our galvanised framing steel is protected against corrosion, termites, and fire, offering long-term peace of mind.
Can you supply trusses for cyclonic regions?
Yes. We engineer our systems to meet N1–N4 (cyclonic) wind classifications. We’ve supplied trusses for projects in Mackay, Townsville, and other high-wind zones.
Do you offer site measurements?
Yes. For local projects around Rockhampton, we can visit your site to confirm measurements before fabrication. For remote jobs, we can work from architectural drawings or coordinate with your draftsperson.
What makes steel better for roof trusses than timber?
Steel is lighter, straighter, more durable, and not affected by pests or moisture. It’s also more consistent in shape, which means a better finish and fewer surprises during construction.
Do your trusses come with engineering certificates?
Absolutely. Every project includes full engineering certification and documentation to support compliance and approvals.
