Unit Beam

Description

What to Know About Unit Beam?

A unit beam is a horizontal, prefabricated component used in a scaffold structure. It has a zig-zag like shape, with two long tubes connected with smaller tubes at 45° angles. 

What are the uses of Unit Beam?

Unit beams connect to the vertical uprights (standards) with couplers and spigots to create long, stable spans between scaffold towers. In other words, they are used in scaffold structures as horizontal support for better stability. 

What are the Benefits of Unit Beam?

Unit beams have self-locating ends that allow for quick on-site assembly and disassembly. They are lightweight yet can handle heavy construction loads. 

What scaffolding system does the Unit Beam belong to?

Unit beams are the most common part of cuplock scaffolding systems. However, these are also used in ringlock, kwikstage, cantilever, and other scaffold systems. 

What Materials are Used to Create Unit Beam?

Unit beams are made from high-quality steel for the necessary strength. The structure is also either painted or galvanized for rust and corrosion protection.
