Suspension beam Aluminium Beam

Aluminium beams combine the benefits of strength, lightness and ease of handling with consistency, versatility and outstanding durability. With an exceptional range of accessories, the beams form a complete system that can be used with other product ranges for virtually unlimited configurations and applications. RMD Kwikform has a portfolio of aluminium beams, including Albeam – a 225 mm deep heavy-duty primary beam for slab support with a very high bending and concentrated load capacity. And Alform – a 150 mm deep beam, designed for wall formwork and secondary bearer for soffit support applications. Faster RMDK’s aluminium beams have a consistent cross-section, eliminating time and cost implications of selecting and hand-finishing timber. Safer The aluminium offers greatly increased bending and shear resistance than timber beams, also allowing more weight to be supported over greater spans with less equipment. Easier Lighter and easier to handle, the aluminium beams’ unique profile reduces damage, while the Alform beams’ bevelled edges enable plywood sheeting to be stripped quickly and easily. Key Features Residual value RMD Kwikform’s Aluminium beams can be reused numerous times. When they finally reach the end of their useful life, their value is still around 25 per cent of their original cost. Uniformity Unlike timber, aluminium beams are always straight, simplifying and speeding up assembly. Longevity and durability Aluminium beams can be reused several times and have a much longer life than timber beams.
