Roof truss setting in Florida

Setting trusses by crane is faster and safer than hand-lifting them, especially on two-story homes and long spans. The crane places each truss while your framing crew braces and fastens it.

What to tell the crane company

  • Number of trusses and the longest span
  • One or two stories, and the wall height
  • When the walls will be ready and inspected
  • Where the truss delivery truck will be parked

Questions about roof truss setting

How long does it take to set trusses with a crane?

Most single-family homes are set in a few hours once the crane is up, but it depends on the number of trusses, the roof layout and how fast the framing crew braces them.

Who coordinates the truss delivery?

Usually the builder or framer. Tell the crane company when the trusses arrive and where they'll be stacked so the crane can reach both the stack and the walls.
