Roof Truss Setting
Setting roof trusses is the part of the job where a slow or no-show crane wrecks your whole week. We set roof trusses with a certified operator across Vermont, so your framing crew is not standing around waiting. We plan the lift ahead of time and hit the date you booked.

How We Set Your Roof Trusses
Truss setting with a crane in Vermont goes fast when it is planned right. The operator runs the pick and brings each truss up to your wall. Your crew guides it into place and fastens it down. We work to your span and your layout, one truss at a time, until the roof is framed. We can stage the trusses near the build so each pick is quick. If your roof has hips, valleys, or a steep pitch, we set them in the order that keeps your crew safe and moving. Before we arrive, we map the pick radius and the spot where the crane sets up, so there are no surprises on lift day.
Built for Tight and Tricky Sites
Northern Vermont lots are rarely flat and open. We set trusses on gravel driveways, soft ground, sloped pads, and tight lots with trees and wires close by. We also watch for setbacks, power lines, and low branches that limit where the boom can swing. If the only clear spot is across the yard, we plan the reach for it. We pick the crane and the setup spot that fit your site. If access is tricky, tell us when you call and we will plan around it.
Why Builders Around St. Albans Call Us
A roof truss crane in St. Albans should be local, not an hour out. We are based in Swanton, a short drive from most Franklin County job sites. That keeps your travel cost down and your schedule tight.
We hit the date because a lot is riding on it. Your trusses are delivered and exposed to weather, and your crew is booked and counting on the hours. We show up on time and ready to lift.
Many of our truss jobs lead to more work, like steel beam lifting for the same build, or full crane rental with operator for other picks on site.
What We Need to Quote Your Truss Set
To quote your truss set fast, have these ready:
- The truss count
- The span and the building height
- How the crane gets on site: driveway, ground, slope, and overhead wires
- The date you need us
With those details, we confirm the right crane, a firm date, and a straight price on the first call.
Roof Trusses We Set
We set trusses for all kinds of builds around northern Vermont:
- New homes and additions
- Garages and pole barns
- Farm structures and outbuildings
- Light commercial buildings
Every layout is a little different. A wide span, a tall wall, or a tricky roofline changes how we plan the pick. That is why we go over your truss count, span, and site before we set a date. When the plan is right, the trusses go up fast and your crew stays busy and paid.
