Crossbeam at roof truss, is it possible to replace?

[Beretic]

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place but I hope I did.
But now to the point. I'm really tired of hitting my head on this beam every time I go up to the attic and I'm wondering if this beam is necessary and if it can be replaced if so..
Thanks in advance!

It is needed. How you relieve it, I do not know.

With some input from those who know better, maybe msn can move it down a bit or something..

It is a hanbjälke, whose main task is to prevent the rafters from pushing out the outer walls. It can usually be moved vertically, but this can have consequences for the roof structure. More cannot be said without better documentation.

Okay, there's hope then at least!
What else do you want to know? So I know what to check or take a picture of, I am completely novice at constructions..

The roof is at least the boards that are visible from the inside, and the roofing is regular sheet metal, type tp20 or whatever it's called.

The best is a scale sectional drawing with details about the dimensions of the trusses' parts.

Oh dear! I will try to get one of those.. Somehow..

Say you have a real snow load on the roof, then it's that which prevents the snow from pushing apart the house walls!

Move the stairway (or rotate it 90 degrees.)
