Alu Box Beam
The super strong, lightweight Aluminum Beam
The innovative cross-section of the Alu box beam provides a high load capacity, permitting optimized equipment usage on site. The integrated nailing strip and continuous T-slot provide a versatile construction member that is adaptable to various jobsite requirements.
High load capacity
achieved by innovative beam cross-section
- permitted shear force 27.3 kN / 5.2 kip
- permitted bending moment 16.8 kNm / 11.0 kip-ft
- weight:
6.3 kg/m / 4,23 lbs/ft without nailing insert
7,5 kg/m / 5,04 lbs/ft with nailing insert - height of beam 17.5 cm / 6.9 in
Long lifespan
thanks to high manufacturing quality
- high number of re-use is possible based on the robust material design properties of aluminum
- versatility of continous T-slot connection point
- integrated high grade plastic nailing strip allows for easy attachment of plywood
Cut costs
by reducing the number of items needed
- up to 1/3 fewer props for floor slabs, as increased primary beam spacing is possible
- up to 50 percent fewer primary beams in the top construction of fully loaded shore towers, thanks to a high load capacity
- optimized site logistics and lower freight costs, as fewer items are required
