Tear down wall in garage

[Bylow]

Hello. I have a garage that I plan to insulate, but I would like to remove a wall that stands in the middle. The garage is about 6x6m and has concrete tiles on it. The trusses are built with 45x120.

I went to a truss manufacturer and asked, and the woman at the reception said the wall wasn't load-bearing, but I thought I'd check here as well in case anyone knows.

Should I perhaps attach a 1m board on each side of every truss to brace them?

Including a bad picture.

No one knows? Or does anyone have any opinion at least?

Is it spliced over the wall?
Maybe attach a glulam beam for extra safety to stabilize the beams if nothing else

Not to criticize a receptionist, but did she design/calculate the garage?
Call and speak with their engineer or the firm that designed the garage

It looks like the roof trusses are of truss construction and they should be self-supporting. However, the partition wall is built directly against it and it's joined right there, so I am uncertain. Unfortunately, no help...

Well, I thought she would enter the information into some program to see if it needed to be supported.

The house/garage was built in '82 and the manufacturer is no longer around.

Since there's a seam in the middle, it feels like there should be a wall there.

Looking at old brochures, you could choose a double garage without a dividing wall, but they might have had different trusses for those.

It's silly to gamble, but it would be nice to avoid a beam.

Draw this up with timber dimensions and then any serious truss manufacturer should be able to give you an answer. The strength laws apply throughout the country.
