Bottom Loaded Trusses

A bottom loaded truss is designed to support added weight hanging from the bottom cord of the truss.  Most trusses in this category are built to support insulation and drywall for a finished ceiling.  Attic type trusses can be designed to support additional storage.  A pick point is an area located on the bottom cord of the truss engineered to carry the weight of an engine block, wild game or other heavy objects.
