Truss System

Installation

The truss shoe and the inclined bolt can be installed first and separately from the truss. A piece of 0.6" cable is inserted into the end of truss shoe automatically engaging the cable grip wedges. This can be done without leaving the protection of the bolter. Then both cables are fed through the cable truss coupler in the middle. Wedges are installed into barrels against the cable truss coupler and stressing may commence using a hydraulic tensioning unit. The truss shoe is designed to accommodate #7 or #8 bar and angles between 45 and 60 degrees to the horizontal.
