Our robust Roller Plant streamlines the assembly of roof trusses – combining technology, precision and efficiency to produce high quality trusses! Suitable for any roof truss factory, our Roller Plant is powerful, fast, accurate and simple to operate with production numbers that will beat almost all other truss assembly methods.
The Spida Machinery Roller Plant
Our Roller Plant is used for quick and easy assembly of wood roof trusses. Precut lumber is placed into the jigging along with connector plates and then the Preset Roller travels down the length of the truss, rolling the connector plates into the lumber and creating a truss. This truss is then ejected and sent through the Finishing Roller to fully embed the connector plates.
See here for an example of our Roller Plant solution that includes the following:
- Automated Truss System
- Steel Roller Press Table
- Preset Press (also known as a gantry head)
- Safety Scanners
- Truss Ejectors and Receivers
- Transfer Conveyors
- Finishing Roller
- Exit Conveyors
Elegantly designed and easy to operate
With our Roller Plant, simply fill the truss bed up, press with one sweep of the gantry head, eject and repeat.
The comprehensive software in our Roller Plant solution is a standout feature, enabling automation and versatility. The Roller Plant is made up of several highly functional components with intelligent software and touch screen controls, so you’ll notice the benefits immediately when you add this to your factory. This solution allows for multiple set-ups of trusses on the table, making it exceptionally flexible.
There are a number of options available too, to ensure the Roller Plant is a perfect fit for your truss manufacturing requirements – we work alongside you to make sure the Roller Plant is fit for purpose for you.

Reap the Benefits of our Roller Plant
The Roller Plant is stacked with benefits including the following:
- Cost effective (and with no requirement for high price maintenance contracts).
- Streamlined processes and efficiencies – with reduced set up times and no jigging time due to computer-controlled auto jigging, you’ll benefit from increased productivity and lower manufacturing costs.
- Robust, heavy duty construction.
- Ease of Use – it’s simple to operate and requires minimal training. As soon as one truss is completed and moved to conveyors, you can start building the next truss.
- Reduced manual handling – your staff will find it much easier on their bodies not having to lift bigger, heavy trusses and they will experience less worker fatigue. They can work productively and safely in their own environment.
- Powerful, fast and accurate.
