scissor truss design
(OP)
Where can I find design loads for members of a scissor truss?
I plan to use a truss made of welded 2" square tubing with an 8:12 pitch over 4:12 spanning 24 feet. Planned wall thickness for the tubing is .120 and I need to figure out what this will support.
This is a garage roof with a monorail for a 1 ton hoist at the centerline.

Sounds like you might be quite new to this??

Live and dead loads are simple to figure even for a newcomer. I'm new to this forum but I've been around 68 years.

two dimensional trusses pinned connections.
Rigidity needs to be considered at joints though.
