R800 Steel Girder | Altrad RMD

Home > Products > Falsework/Shoring > R800 - Steel Girder System

With three lengths of panel girder and a versatile range of end and intermediate posts giving infinite length adjustment, R800 is the next generation heavy duty girder system from Altrad RMD for the construction of clear spanning and bridging structures. The system's modular design, connected with simple shear pins at the top & bottom chord positions, allows for long girders to be quickly assembled for subsequent placing either by crane or by launching.

Optimised

Rapidshor jacks connect into chords at girder node points, optimising casting of cambered and sloping in-situ bridge decks without the need for separate cross beams or falsework-improving scheme efficiency, enabling lower head room and reducing cost.

Efficient

Trapezoidal end panel option accommodates battered abutments, vee shaped piers and arch falsework, while using the permanent works foundations, thus improving scheme efficiency, reducing work on site and minimising cost.

Secure

System plan bracing extends right to the end of the girder assembly thus providing a safer and more direct route for passage of notional and wind side loading.

Applications

With a wide range of versatile accessories, R800 can be used in various applications such as; single, multispan, cantilever or launch falsework, vehicle, pedestrian and service bridging, event and media structures, launched structures and tieless formwork.

Bridges

Soffit, Slab and Decking Formwork

Key features

Forged Pin Joints
Full strength forged pin joints which do not limit system performance give a better strength to weight ratio, thus minimising the amount of equipment required, weight to be transported, handled and erected as well as minimising cost and carbon footprint.
Versatile Compatibility
Compatibility with other Altrad RMD products such as Megashor, Superslim and Rapidshor by design, reduces the need for special components in schemes, simplifying Application Engineering and reducing cost.
Laboratory Tested
Designed in accordance with EC3, backed up by finite element analysis and full scale load testing gives verified performance, ensures safety in use and provides peace of mind
Versatile Compatibility
Compatibility with other Altrad RMD Kwikform products such as Megashor, Superslim and Rapidshor by design, reduces the need for special components in schemes, simplifying Application Engineering and reducing cost.
Available in 3 Lengths
3 girder lengths plus Tapered End Posts with sliding bearing locations enables girder spans of any length to be configured, thus maximising the operating range using standard equipment.
