Adjustable Telescopic Span

Provide an excellent means of supporting concrete slabs. Their rugged construction allows high load capacity, allowing the use of fewer shores. Saves you time and labor costs.

Metriforms Beams

Beams
The lightweight steel fabrication includes 100mm wide top flange which eliminates the necessity for a plywood infill, so cutting down maintenance costs. Heavy duty pressings are fitted to the beam ends ensuring adequate protection against site abuse. These incorporate a tongue location for the drophead.

Panel retaining lugs have a tapered wedge action for quick positive location of panels, ensuring tight joints and minimum grout loss. When beams are in the horizontal position they cannot be accidentally dislodged.

Cantilever Beams
Engineered to support normal access loads and stop-end forms; a safety device is incorporated locking the beam to the drophead so that they cannot be dislodged when striking. Provision is made for a guard-rail post to be attached using standard scaffold tube and fittings, thus eliminating the need for an external scaffold- a big saving in construction cost.

Dropheads

• The quick action Dropheads supplied complete with nuts and bolts is designed to fit on standard props or adaptors for Cup locks scaffolding. They allow panels and beams to be struck and re-used after only 3n or 4 days, leaving the support in position for the remainder of the curing period of the concrete slab.
• The primary head remains in contact with the concrete whilst the secondary head and its supporting wedge are released by a single hammer blow. The height of the Dropheads is 214mm and the striking distance allows the beams and panels to drop only 115mm for the their safe removal a marked improvement in terms of speed and safety compared with other systems.
• The Dropheads has a load carrying capacity of 40kN.
• Special care has been taken to ensure that beams cannot be accidentally dislodged once located with the Dropheads primed.
