When you need a clear span between two scaffolding structures, a scaffold ladder beam gives you the strength and reach to do it. The Ladder Beam is an economical, versatile steel support beam that connects with the tube and fittings you already use on site, so there's nothing extra to source before you start.
Manufactured to BS EN 1993:1 and BS EN 12811, this steel beam carries a permanent shear capacity of 20.00kN and a permanent moment capacity of 12.70kNm across spans over 3.7m. It's available in six lengths, from 6ft (1.8m) up to 21ft (6.4m), so you can choose the Scaffold Beams that match the span you're working with. Galvanised and aluminium versions of this beam are also available. Contact your branch for details. If a high strength, low weight aluminium beam suits your application better, the D780mm Alloy Beam is available as a separate option.
Use this ladder beam for high level pavement gantries, heavy duty loading bays, cantilevered structures, temporary shores, truss out scaffolds, and slung or suspended structures. Whatever the application, it gives your scaffold the clear span it needs.
