Yes, the design of a truss shed can accommodate and support the installation of an overhead crane.
When you need a wide-span, column-free structure but want to avoid the high costs of space frame or plate girder sheds, only one option remains on the table: the truss shed. These lightweight yet durable structures, designed with welded or bolted trusses, not only cover spans ranging from 20 to 100 meters but also offer the most economical and time-efficient solution for large industrial, agricultural, and exhibition projects.
If you’re planning to purchase a truss shed or order one with precise technical specifications, contact the Mammut Structures & panel technical consultation team today to choose the best solution for your project in the shortest time possible.

Truss structures, thanks to their engineering design based on triangulation, enable uniform distribution of both gravity and lateral loads through tension and compression members. This engineering system allows for precise control of structural deflection without increasing the size of steel sections. As a result, the dead weight of the structure is reduced and material efficiency is improved.
One of the key advantages of truss sheds is the complete freedom in designing structural members and connections. This flexibility is a significant benefit in projects with wide spans and specialized applications. In cases where plate girder sheds are not economically or technically viable, truss sheds serve as a highly efficient alternative.
Truss sheds are one of the shed types offered by Mammut and can be ordered after consultation with our sales experts.

If your project requires wide spans, optimized weight, and precise structural performance, we recommend proceeding with a truss shed order.
Like other types of steel structures, truss sheds (Truss Structures) come in various forms, selected based on usage type, span width, installation location, and loading conditions. Understanding these variations is essential for making an informed decision when purchasing a truss shed. Truss sheds are classified based on form, connection type, and the type of force applied into the following categories:
Each type of truss shed can be customized by varying material (galvanized steel, ST52 steel, or alloy steel), roof covering (sandwich panels, galvanized sheets, or polycarbonate), and connection method (welding, bolting, or riveting) to suit specific project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
A truss shed is a lightweight yet durable structure designed using truss systems, suitable for industrial, sports, exhibition, and warehousing applications.
Truss sheds, by utilizing a truss structure for weight distribution and enhanced strength, are lighter in weight, more resistant to earthquakes, and capable of spanning large widths without internal columns. Overall, they are cost-effective and ideal for large-scale projects.
Yes, the design of a truss shed can accommodate and support the installation of an overhead crane.
Yes, truss sheds are designed to withstand wind, snow, and rain. Mammut’s truss sheds, built with weather-resistant materials, are suitable for both cold and hot climates.
The installation time for truss sheds is generally shorter than other types and depends on the structure’s dimensions.
Truss sheds are highly suitable for warehouses, workshops, exhibition halls, and industrial activities that require large, column-free interior spaces.
With its triangular design, a truss shed has a lighter weight and can bear heavier loads. Material usage is also more optimized in this structure.
Various suppliers offer these sheds in different sizes and configurations. The construction and installation process typically takes 3 to 5 weeks.
It must be installed on a proper foundation. Maintenance includes repairing or restoring wooden or metal components and inspecting the connections.
