• 1.2 m × 1.5 m (4′ × 5′)
• 1.2 m × 1.8 m (4′ × 6′)

Unit Weight:
15–25 kg (significantly lighter than steel frames at 50–80 kg)

Safety Standards:
Complies with ANSI A10.9, CAN/CSA S269.11, and other international construction safety standards

System Components

Main Frame:
Vertical load-bearing structure made of welded rectangular aluminum tubes with cross bracing

Base Jack:
Provides height adjustment, leveling, and load distribution

U-Head Jack:
Supports timber or steel beams and transfers load

Cross Brace:
Enhances horizontal stability and prevents overturning

Wedge Pin:
Enables fast locking without bolts for efficient assembly

Core Advantages

Lightweight & High Strength:
Comparable strength to steel, but only 1/3 of the weight, reducing labor by up to 70%

Modular Design:
Standardized components allow flexible assembly of 1–20 m shoring towers

Corrosion Resistance:
Anodized aluminum surface prevents rust, ideal for wet or outdoor environments

Fast Assembly:
Tool-free wedge locking system allows single-worker installation within 3–5 minutes

Safe & Stable:
Double diagonal bracing and a wide base design ensure stability with a 2.5:1 safety factor

Typical Applications

• High formwork support for building slabs and beams
• Bridge box girder and cap beam construction
• Tunnel secondary lining support
• Industrial platforms and heavy equipment base support

Comparison with Steel Shoring

Purchasing Guidelines

Material Certification:
Ensure use of 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, and avoid recycled materials

Load Selection:
Choose 10K / 16K / 25K models based on project load requirements

Welding Quality:
Full welding with no cracks or porosity; reinforced stress points are essential

FAQ – Aluminium Shoring Frame Heavy Duty Frame
