450mm Aluminium Beams
450mm Aluminium beams offer a perfect blend of strength, versatility, and ease of use for your construction projects. These lightweight yet robust beams, constructed from high-grade aluminium, provide a reliable foundation for various applications. Their compact size makes them ideal for situations requiring flexibility and adaptability.
Crafted from high-quality 6082-T6 aluminium, these beams boast an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This translates to a beam that can support significant loads without adding unnecessary weight to the overall structure.
The 450mm length offers a perfect balance between functionality and handling. This size allows for constructing platforms, walkways, and support structures in tight spaces or areas with limited access. Additionally, their lighter weight makes them easier to transport and maneuver on the job site.
These beams are manufactured to ensure consistent dimensions. They typically feature a diameter of around 48.41mm and a wall thickness of 4.24mm, with tolerances of +/- 0.35mm and +/- 0.36mm respectively. This precision allows for seamless connections and a stable overall structure.
The beams are designed for easy assembly using dedicated spigot connectors. These connectors, typically 38.1mm in diameter and 4.0mm thick, slide effortlessly into the beam ends, creating a secure joint.
For additional strength and stability, each spigot connection can be further secured with bolts, typically M12 in size. This double locking mechanism ensures the beams can withstand significant loads and maintain structural integrity.
These aluminium beams are manufactured to comply with BS EN 755-2 and EN AW-6082-T6 standards. This guarantees they meet stringent industry requirements for quality, performance, and safety.
Applications for Aluminium Beams
The compact size and robust design of these 450mm aluminium beams make them suitable for a wide range of construction applications, including:
- Scaffolding: Perfect for constructing smaller platforms, walkways, and infills within larger scaffolding structures. Their manoeuvrability allows for adapting the scaffolding to specific needs.
- Formwork: These beams can be used to create support structures for concrete pouring in confined spaces or for smaller formwork applications.
- Shoring: Aluminium beams can be used as temporary supports for walls, excavations, or other structures requiring shoring during construction or renovation projects.
- Event Applications: Their lightweight properties make them ideal for constructing temporary structures for events like stages, platforms, or support for signage and lighting.
450mm Aluminium beams are a valuable asset for construction projects requiring a balance between strength, versatility, and ease of use. Their compact size and lightweight design make them ideal for various applications, while their robust construction ensures stability and safety. By incorporating these beams into your project, you gain a reliable and adaptable solution for various construction needs.
