Frook Pty Ltd
The Frook is considered a safer, faster and more cost effective method of temporary bracing when installing trusses on buildings.
Ken Jaffers and Peter Stevens developed the Frook after continuous observation of carpenters struggling with trusses in the preliminary stages of their installation with both hands full of timber and tools. This led to the design of the Frook to assist in making this task much safer for people doing this temporary bracing process.
Roof truss installation is one of the most dangerous tasks encountered during the construction of a building. Accidents which occur during the erection of roof trusses are often serious and can involve more than one person. The risk of injury during roof truss erection should be minimised and the Frook is a tool that helps achieve this.
The Frook reduces the risk of injury by eliminating some of the more dangerous situations that arise during the erection of roof trusses. The unique design of the Frook and its ease of use allows for spacing corrections after roof trusses are in place. Many roof trusses fall as workmen remove bracing in order to make spacing corrections. The Frook helps to prevent such collapses. The Frook eliminates the risk associated with using two hands to juggle the roof truss, the spacer and the nail gun whilst attempting to space and brace the truss into its right position, and holding on. Use of the Frook also reduces the number of leads and hoses to trip over whilst hanging on to unrestrained roof trusses.
