Layher FlexBeam
THE ALUMINIUM FLEXBEAM
Rapid assembly and optimum use of materials ensure economical scaffolding structures. The aluminium FlexBeam provides what it promises. Thanks to its higher load capacity, the suspension configuration can be enlarged. That saves time during assembly and protects the structure – less drilling, less assembly, less dismantling.
In comparison with the proven Steel Lattice Beam 450:
The bending load capacity is up to 2.5 times higher, meaning that larger
support and suspension configurations are possible – maximum permissible bending moment M = 34.1 kNm.
The shear load capacity is up to 7 times higher – regardless of the position where the load is introduced. Maximum permissible shear force 127 kN.
The structural height is 17 cm lower – the headroom, e.g. on motorways, is retained.
There is as a rule no compression chord bracing required.
U-system decks can be directly hooked into the U-section. The position is secured by the new easy-to-fit lift-off preventer.
The integrated system enables continued easy assembly using standard All- round components. In the case of use as suspended scaffolding, the anchor plate and the suspension shoe are available for receiving the beam. The anchor plate is intended for direct wall-plug connection to the structure – e.g. to the underside of a bridge or to sloping surfaces.
