surporting loft beams

[kevc89]

hi I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice, I am thinking about turning my loft space into a hobbie room kind of thing and I nedd to remove some beams and surport them with some thing else. I was going to remove the 2 midlle ones label on pic and fit a collar type at top showing in red on pic is this a good idea or will ther be problems ?

as ive mentioned before elsewhere.gang nailed trusses are not designed to take excess load.anything is possible,all price relevant.i would recommend you go to a local truss manufacturer with all the measurements,heights,timber sizes to be on the safe side.sorry i cant be more specific.
