FastenMaster Featured Job

Over 32,000 TrussLok-Z fasteners were used over the span of three and a half days to build these large girder trusses. These two and three ply trusses were between 60 and 70ft long! The FastenMaster TrussLok-Z fasteners were selected over other fastening methods because of their superior strength and holding power which allowed builders to transport the beams from the truss yard to the jobsite without bending or warping.
