QuickFrames Pre-Engineered Structural Steel Roof Frames
QuickFrames are designed to address the challenges of coordinating roof frame installation in commercial construction and are used on projects as large as battery plants and as small as a restaurant. The overall feedback is QuickFrames cut time and free up crews so you can keep moving.
We provide a wide variety of roof connectors so that our rails can attach to nearly any commercial roofing system including metal, concrete, and wood.
Our bolted and screwed roof connections eliminate the need to weld inside buildings making it safer, faster, easier, and cheaper to move roof frames when changes happen.
Everything we manufacture is precision tooled, not hand-fabricated like angle-iron framing, for consistent high-quality frames and interchangeable components. Our high-volume production facility makes it possible to ship and deliver quickly, including overnight.

QuickFrames Common Applications
EXHAUST FANS & VENTS
Rooftop exhaust fans can require careful layout and design work. Especially when toxic fumes or air purification need to be considered. QuickFrames are a good option when plans are likely to change and required to adjust to air quality control.
ROOF DRAINS
Roof drains enable water runoff and storm drainage from the roof of commercial buildings to be piped into the building’s interior and channeled elsewhere. They also add challenges for the project manager, fabricator and erector. QuickFrames in-field adjustability can solve these challenges.
FLOOR OPENINGS
Floor openings weaken a building’s structure and impact walkability. Support frames are required for floor openings that are more than 12 inches. Use QuickFrames to support the flooring around the opening and get the fit you need.
RTUs / HVAC
Commercial building HVAC projects can have unique and extensive system installations. Whether you use Trane, Carrier or another brand those roof top units and curbs are heavy and require structural support. QuickFrames are used for versatility and time saving.
HANGING SUPPORTS
QuickFrames are used in large manufacturing facilities for the purpose of supporting track systems that are suspended and require structural support. This would include conveyor systems, electrical racetracks and other process belt and gear systems.
SKYLIGHTS & ROOF HATCHES
Skylights are well-loved for the natural light they provide bringing the outside into a building. For the visual beauty, skylights require extra work for the project manager, fabricator and erector. This is where QuickFrames can assist with a lighter, easier to install support frame.
