More about Scaffold Beams

At Altrad Generation, we supply a comprehensive range of scaffold beams, including Aluminium Beams and Steel Beams, which are essential components for creating robust and adaptable scaffolding structures across the UK. Our scaffold beams are all engineered to deliver exceptional strength and reliability for a wide variety of construction and access projects.

Aluminium Beams: Our range of aluminium beams include 450mm High Capacity Alloy Beam, 750mm Asterix Alloy Beam, 750mm Alloy X-Beam, D780mm Alloy Beam, 1330mm HD Asterix Alloy Beam. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, these beams offer a significant weight advantage over steel, making them easier to handle, transport, and erect. Despite their lighter weight, they provide excellent strength-to-weight ratios, ensuring a safe and stable platform. Aluminium's resistance to corrosion also contributes to a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance. They are also ideal for projects where weight is a critical factor, such as temporary roofing, bridging, and creating cantilevered sections. Their ease of handling also makes them suitable for projects with restricted access.

Steel Beams: Our Ladder Beams also known as steel beams are constructed from high-strength steel, offering superior load-bearing capacity and exceptional durability. Designed to withstand heavy loads and demanding site conditions, these beams provide a robust and reliable solution for even the most challenging scaffolding requirements. They are best suited for heavy-duty scaffolding applications, supporting substantial loads, and creating long spans.

Both our aluminium and steel beams are manufactured to meet relevant industry standards, ensuring the safety and integrity of your scaffolding structures. Altrad Generation offers these scaffold beams in various lengths and specifications to accommodate diverse project needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is a scaffold beam?
    A scaffold beam is a horizontal support element, often featuring a ladder-style design, used to span large gaps or create open spaces in scaffolding structures without intermediate supports. They are critical for maintaining access and safety across obstacles.

  • When should I use aluminium beams instead of steel beams?
    Use aluminium scaffold beams when minimising weight is a priority, such as in manual handling scenarios or where scaffolding needs to be repositioned regularly. Choose steel scaffold beams when maximum load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity are required.
