Innovative Modular Bearer for Formwork Systems #
Sucoot’s Top Beam is engineered as a modular bearer component, crafted from SGH490 high-strength galvanized steel. This design ensures exceptional resistance to rust, deformation, and mechanical fatigue, making it a reliable choice for long-term use in slab, wall, and column formwork systems. The Top Beam is securely fixed to plywood using self-tapping screws or steel nails, providing a stable and robust load-bearing surface.
Key Features #
-
High-Strength Material with Anti-Corrosion Protection
Manufactured from SGH490 galvanized steel, the Top Beam resists warping, rust, and fatigue, even under demanding construction conditions. -
Eco-Friendly & Economical
The Top Beam is fully recyclable and offers a high residual value, supporting contractors in meeting environmental performance goals and reducing material waste. -
Extended Lifespan
With a service life at least 2.5 times longer than traditional wooden beams, the Top Beam minimizes replacement cycles and delivers long-term cost savings. -
Flexible Length Options
Available in standard lengths from 1.2m to 4.8m (in 300mm increments), with custom sizes available upon request to suit diverse project requirements.
