Truss Out

[meercat]

In my humble opinion aluminium lattice beams are suitable to use for a truss out scaffold!!
Am I wrong??

Yes they are mate as long as you check the loading on them.

If it's designed in then yes,but i have used them without a design pre tg20,with no problem,i suppose it depends on the projection imo

 

[Dass]

As BF said they should be fine. The loadings and projection should be checked though just to make sure

 

[AxSD]

Yes, provided it is designed. Deflection is normally an issue using aluminium beams to cantilever. Lacing and bracing is especially important - BOTTOM chord!

We just did a 5m cantilever with 4 lifts of scaffold suspended....worked fine but needed clusters of the deeper 750 beams.

You could do it the old school way out of t&f.

Meercat,

one word of advice, use decent beams, we all bash beams around a bit too much and the ally ones are a bit more sensitive like!

Apollo make good un's

Layher aint as good, looks like the welder has sneezed the weld out!
