Altrad RMD's Aluminium Beams combine the benefits of strength, lightness and the ease of handling with consistency, versatility and exceptional durability. With a wide range of accessories, the beams form a complete system that can be used in numerous configurations and applications. Altrad RMD has a portfolio of three Aluminium Beams: Albeam, a 225mm deep heavy duty primary beam for slab support, with a very high bending and concentrated load capacity, Alform, a 150mm deep beam designed for wall formwork and secondary bearer for soffit support applications and Alsec, a more economical 150mm deep single web beam used for soffit support applications.

Faster

Altrad 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.

Applications

Altrad RMD's Albeam, Alform & Alsec beams form a complete system capable of virtually unlimited configurations and applications including wall formwork and soffit support.
