Installing an Alumi-Span truss and platform system is a quick and efficient process—it only takes about 9 minutes to complete!
1. Understanding Alumi-Span Trusses
There are two types of trusses:
- Regular Trusses – Feature a pole at each end.
- 90-Degree Trusses – Have one pole and clamps rotated 90 degrees for attachment to cross-arms to run a platform 90-degrees or perpendicular to an outgoing dock.
2. Key Installation Steps (Fast and Simple!)
A. Positioning the Truss Correctly
- Ensure the center casting (#310A) is on top with the "V" shape pointing upward for maximum strength.
- Use large bottom plates to simplify installation and stabilize the trusses.
B. Assembling the Dock Platform
- Bring sections out one at time and place on truss
- Securely bolt deck sections together for a firm fit.
- Use black plastic platform connectors for added stability.
C. Properly Placing Stringer Brackets
- Position stringer brackets correctly to prevent trusses from sticking out beyond the dock sections.
D. Securing the Trusses
- Firmly clamp both upper and lower truss clamps before applying weight.
- To adjust the height, loosen and re-secure both clamps as needed.
- To raise center, leave top clamp tight, loosen and raise only bottom clamp
3. Fast & Easy Installation
