Aluminium Beams combine the benefits of strength, lightness and the ease of handling with consistency, versatility and exceptional durability. With an exceptional range of accessories, the beams form a complete system that can be used for virtually unlimited configurations and applications. Altrad RMD Kwikform has a portfolio of two Aluminium Beams: Albeam - 225mm deep heavy duty primary beam for slab support, with a very high bending and concentrated load capacity. Alform - 150mm deep beam designed for wall formwork and secondary bearer for soffit support applications.

Faster

The 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 sheer resistance than timber, which means they are safer. They also allow more weight to be supported over greater spans with less equipment, saving time and costs.

Easier

Aluminium Beams are lighter and easier to handle than timber, their unique profiles reduce damage. Alform Beams bevelled edges enable plywood sheeting to be stripped quickly and easily.

Applications

Altrad RMD Kwikform's Albeam and Alform Beam form a complete system capable of virtually unlimited configurations and applications:

Wall Formwork

Soffit, Slab and Decking Formwork

Bridges
