I'm currently studying to take my SBCA Truss Technician Certification Exams and one of the very first things I learned about installation was to absolutely NOT lift a truss from the peak like that. Those trusses are not made to take that kind of stress from that point. "The Proper Way" is to use a spreader beam/bar and connect to the truss with the lines at about 60°, or where the webs connect to the top chord at mid-point. During installation, you shouldn't have more than 3" for every 10', length of the truss, of deflection. This is all explained on the BCSI-B1 sheet which should have come in the job field packet with the trusses from the truss manufacturer.

Please find a "Setting Camera up the proper way" first. Did you even watch this before putting it up?

I've been building, designing and selling trusses for 21 years. This is not the proper way to set trusses, on many levels.

Why not boom all the trusses up on the wall at one end, all at once. Then you don't have to pay for that truck to be there for so long . Then just spread them out on top of the walls and start rolling them.

+Jim Watson Crane companies typically have a minimum charge covering a minimum amount of time. For a job that small, that basic cost probably covered the time required to set them individually. Looks like only 16 to 18 trusses. So to send them away quickly would do you no good as far as saving money is concerned....just my two cents worth anyway.

+Tractorman44 The trusses are hooked up to the crane and set on the ground aren't they? Instead of putting them on the ground put them on the walls. He could set all the trusses on the walls faster than it takes for this crew to set one truss because he wouldn't have to wait for them to nail it up, un hook it and then re-hook the next truss. I've done this hundreds of times and I know what I'm talking about. I think they do it this way because they don't want to walk walls. Years ago a fellow worker went to Nashville and got a job running a framing crew on a garage. His boss asked him how much crane time he needed to schedule for. He said none. He told him they were going to set the whole bundle up at once instead of on the ground, spread them out, and roll them. The crew looked at him like he was crazy. He knew it would be no problem because he and I had done it many times. I have never set them on the ground.

+Jim Watson I agree with you a hundred percent....but looking at the crane, it doesn't look like the trusses were delivered by him on that rig. Here in the St Louis area a great percentage of pole barn kits and truss sets are delivered by trailers with rollers on their deck and the material, trusses included, are rolled off the back right onto the ground. Once on the ground its up to the builder to figure out how to get them to the roof. I too think there'd be no reason other than what you illustrated for unhooking the bundle of trusses on the ground then picking as they have done on the video....IF they were delivered by the crane onsite. I think we are both in agreement, but we just don't know how or why they were on the ground at the start of the video....so I was assuming delivery and dump with separate crane rental. It would still have been better to do as you suggested by setting the whole bundle. But, you know how it goes sometimes..... On a sidebar... I've just finished the foundation knee wall on another 30x40 pole pole barn Saturday. Spent the day today hauling in and vibrating 1" clean for the concrete pad. Materials coming either just before New Years or just after. Delivery by F-250 and gooseneck again. I'm thinking of putting together a jib for the loader bucket on a 580 Case for this one. Twelve foot side walls on an 18" knee wall for an inside finish of roughly 13 1/2'.

Tractorman44 " pole barn kits and truss sets are delivered by trailers with rollers on their deck and the material, trusses included, are rolled off the back right onto the ground." It might very well be a kit.but we don't know because the the owner of the channel doesn't monitor the comments. "I too think there'd be no reason other than what you illustrated for unhooking the bundle of trusses on the ground then picking as they have done on the video....IF they were delivered by the crane onsite." Even if they were rolled off of a truck, now that they have a crane they could still hook the whole bundle at once and set it on the walls instead of 1 by 1. Delivery by F-250 and gooseneck again. I'm thinking of putting together a jib for the loader bucket on a 580 Case for this one. Twelve foot side walls on an 18" knee wall for an inside finish of roughly 13 1/2'. Are you working alone?

+Jim Watson No, I will be working with one other guy framing (most of the time). I'll finish the interior grade and the vibra-tamping tomorrow then start settting in the 2" polystyrene, remesh and 1200 feet of Pex tubing for the radiant heat in the floor. Four 300' circuits for the outdoor wood boiler. I was going to frame first, but with the delay of the framing material, the wait time will be more than adequate for doing the flat work first.
