About the James Thomas Engineering (JTE) Roof System
The James Thomas Engineering (JTE) Roof System encompasses three distinct roof configurations: the Lightweight Roof System (LWR), which uses 12-inch apex ladders and 48-inch ridge ladders to form the peak; the Medium Weight Roof System (MWR), which uses 20.5-inch ladders; and the Performance Load-Bearing Roof System (PLBR), whose peak consists of Performance Pre-Rigged SuperTruss and a 20.5-inch folding triangle. The Performance Pre-Rigged SuperTruss shares 30-inch by 26-inch outer dimensions with JTE's standard Pre-Rigged SuperTruss but features 1.5-inch schedule 80 main chords and 1-inch schedule 80 diagonals with forked connections for increased loading. The 20.5-inch Folding SuperTruss uses 2-inch by 0.157-inch main chords and 1-inch by 0.125-inch diagonals with forked connections, while the 20.5-inch SuperTower shares those chord and diagonal dimensions and supports a maximum height of 60 feet. All truss and tower components are constructed from 6061T6 aluminium, with select components manufactured from steel. Any size roof is available based on customer requirements across all three system types.
James Thomas Engineering (JTE) Roof System — buyer FAQs
What are the different JTE Roof System configurations available from James Thomas Engineering?
The James Thomas Engineering Roof System comes in three configurations: the Lightweight Roof System (LWR), the Medium Weight Roof System (MWR), and the Performance Load-Bearing Roof System (PLBR). The LWR uses 12-inch apex ladders and 48-inch ridge ladders to form the peak, the MWR uses 20.5-inch ladders, and the PLBR peak consists of Performance Pre-Rigged SuperTruss combined with a 20.5-inch folding triangle.
What makes the Performance Load-Bearing Roof System different from the lighter JTE variants?
The PLBR uses Performance Pre-Rigged SuperTruss with 1.5-inch schedule 80 main chords and 1-inch schedule 80 diagonals, sharing the same 30-inch by 26-inch outer dimensions as JTE's standard Pre-Rigged SuperTruss but built for increased loading through forked connections rather than standard bolted end connections. It is available in both pre-rigged and non pre-rigged styles, making it the heaviest-duty option in the range.
What materials are used in the James Thomas Engineering Roof System's truss and tower components?
All truss and tower components in the JTE Roof System are constructed from 6061T6 aluminium, with a small number of components manufactured from steel. The 20.5-inch SuperTower, which shares the same chord and diagonal dimensions as the Folding SuperTruss, supports a maximum tower height of 60 feet and uses forked connections throughout.
Can a used JTE Roof System be built to a custom size?
Yes. Custom sizing is available across all three JTE Roof System variants. Whether specifying a Lightweight, Medium Weight or Performance Load-Bearing configuration, any size roof can be built to customer requirements, which means second-hand systems on the market vary considerably in scale and should be checked carefully against project needs before purchase.
What should I check when buying a second-hand JTE Roof System?
Verify which configuration is included (LWR, MWR or PLBR), confirm the overall dimensions and all component counts, and inspect aluminium truss and tower sections for any structural damage or deformation at connection points. Check whether the Performance Pre-Rigged SuperTruss elements are pre-rigged or non pre-rigged versions.
