Aluminium formwork beams
Low weight, high load capacity and long durability
the strong arguments for aluminium formwork beams. Special design – with or without integrated nailing strip and integrated fixing slot – and high load-bearing capacity combined with low weight and high durability open up many new possibilities for the construction site.
Alu box beam
The lightweight, heavy-duty load-capacity aluminium beam for materials-optimised jobsite use
- high load capacity achieved by innovative beam cross-section
- cost-cutting by reducing the number of items needed
- long life span thanks to high manufacturing quality
Doka aluminium beam 20
Combine resistance with lightness and optimise your loadbearing towers with the Doka aluminium beam 20
- Excellent cost-efficiency because of long lifespan
- Easy to handle due to aluminium lightweight construction
- High workplace safety thanks to high load capacity and compatibility to Doka components and systems
Alu box beam
The lightweight, heavy-duty load-capacity aluminium beam for materials-optimised jobsite use
(A) built-in high-quality plastic railing strip
(B) end-to-end built-in fixing slot
Technical specifications:
Moment (M): 16.8 kNm
Shear force (Q): 27.3 kN
Rigidity (E x l): 729 kNm²
Weight per linear meter:
- 6.3 kg without nailing insert
- 7.5 kn with nailing insert
Overall height: 17.5 cm
High load capacity
achieved by innovative beam cross-section
- permitted bending moment M = 16.8 kNm
- permitted shear force Q = 27.3 kN
- rigidity E x I = 729 kNm²
- weight per linear meter =
- 6.3 kg without nailing insert
- 7.5 kg with nailing insert
- overall height = 17.5 cm
Cost-cutting
by reducing the number of items needed
- up to one-third fewer floor props for floors. as wider beamspans are possible
- up to 50 percent fewer primary beams in the superstructures of fully loaded 10 kip shoring towers or Staxo 100 load-bearing towers. thanks to high load capacity
- optimised site logistics and lower freight costs. as fewer items are needed
Long life span
thanks to high manufacturing quality
- high numbers of repeat uses made possible by wear-resistant aluminium
- the integral end-to-end fixing slot prevents damage to the beams
- integrated. high-grade plastic nailing strip makes it easy to fix formwork sheets
Doka aluminium beam 20
Combine resistance with lightness and optimise your load-bearing towers with the Doka aluminium beam 20
(A) continuous, integrated mounting groove
Technical specifications:
Moment (M): 18.4 kNm
Shear force (Q): 50.0 kN
Rigidity (E x J): 849.9 kNm²
Weight: 6.4 kg/lin.m
Height: 20.0 cm
Excellent cost-efficiency
because of long lifespan
- retains its robust mechanical properties over entire usable life due to resistance against dampness rain, UV light, etc.
- reduced number of e.g. load-bearing towers thanks to highly stressable beam for maximum prop spacing
- lower number of new purchases due to long lifespan
Easy to handle
due to aluminium lightweight construction
- only 6.4 kg per linear metre due to use of aluminium
- energy conserving and fast working thanks to low weight
High workplace safety
thanks to high load capacity and compatibility to Doka components and systems
- high mechanical load capacity over entire usable life due to resistance against weather conditions
- increased work safety thanks to compatibility with Doka safety systems, e.g. Edge protection system XP
