NEW

* Design Registration Pending * Patent Pending

Form-Scaff’s new Multi-Form Uni-Beam (short for Universal) is a “meccano” type beam that can be used in many different Formwork, Falsework and Scaffolding applications. A series of very specific holes and slots in both the flanges and the web enables the fixing of various components such as Walers, Scaffold Tubes, Fittings, Brackets, Clamps and Connectors to the Beam. The Beams - made of different size IPE galvanized steel sections - outlast and outperform traditional timber bearers in every respect! Multi-Form Uni-Beams are available on Hire in lengths up to 6m and can be spliced together for use up to any practical length. Multi-Form Uni-Beams are available as single beams up to 13m in length on special request. In Formwork applications, Plywood sheets are attached to the Beam from the rear, leaving no screw marks on the ever important formwork face.
