Abstract:
A method of fabricating a truss section is provided. Cross-bars are connected to truss chords, each cross-bar extending between an associated pair of truss chords, the cross-bars located adjacent to an end of the truss section. An end plate is coupled to the cross-bars after the cross-bars have been connected to their truss chords. The end plate has apertures and ear portions. Each ear portion extends from the end plate to cover an end of a truss chord. The apertures align with corresponding apertures in an end plate of an adjacent truss section. The apertures receive connectors that also pass through the corresponding apertures to fixedly couple the two truss sections. The method may also include coupling a rig bar between truss chords. The rig bar may receive a removable coupler to suspend the truss from above.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein fixedly coupling the end plate to the cross-bars comprises welding the end plate to the cross-bars.
