Alumalite Truss Product Sheet Alumalite Truss

Introduction

Alumalite® Table Form is the result of Aluma

Systems’ unequaled experience of truss system

development and use. With a patented leg

design that allows extension staff s and jacks

to be used at the top and bottom of the table,

this system can adapt to most slab and beam

confi gurations, while meeting the demands of

today’s high speed construction methods.

With its revolutionary patented double hollow

extruded legs, the Alumalite® table form makes

beam and slab construction much easier and

faster to handle than previous table forms or

traditional methods.

30% lighter than its predecessor and can be

fl own in one piece with ease by traditional

capacity crane, the Alumalite® system is the

ideal system for the housing industry and the

slab and beam shoring market.

Safe

• Engineered by an experienced,

safety-award-winning team.

• Manufactured under tight quality

control program.

• The Alumalite® Table Form conforms to all

forming regulations, including CSA,

CAL-OSHA and ANSI.

Smart

• 30% lighter than predecessor.

• Compatibale with full range of Aluma Beams®

and Stringers.

• Allows the use of extension staff s at the top

and bottom of the table forms.

Effi cient

• Modular design simplifi es assembly, thus

reducing assembly time on job sites.

• Reduces construction cycle time.

• Flies in one piece so no disassembling is

required.

11. Alumalite® Truss

The Alumalite® truss is composed of 1.219m (4’) modules and can be connected to other trusses, truss connectors, or square ends to increase truss length.

Standard sizes are available in 7.32m (24’), 4.88m (16’), 3.66m (12’), 2.44m (8’) & 1.22m (4’) in either standard confi gurations (as shown) or as modifi ed confi gurations (not shown).

3. Steel Packer & Top Jack Bracket Assembly

For applications where the slab is not fl at or higher than what a normal truss can reach, the steel packer & top jack bracket assembly is the solution. The steel packer can be made to suit any height and the top jack bracket is adjustable with an operating range of 125mm to 500mm.

4. Guardrail Assembly

Guardrail assembly is designed such that it can be attached to the joists on the truss table providing fall protection for workers working close to the edge of the table.

5. Beamside Hinge Form

For applications where beams need to be formed, the Alumalite® table provides the best solution with our Beamside Hinge Forms. With our unique hinge mechanism, beams can be stripped with ease and no separate loose equipment are required.

2. Outer Legs & Extension Staff s

With the revolutionary low cost design of the Alumalite® double hollow legs, extension staff s can be inserted into the top and bottom of the table.

Full retractability of either staff provide both high ceiling reach and compact fl ying through restricted openings, making the Alumalite® truss the most versatile truss system available.

The Alumalite® truss features the patented double hollow extruded legs which allows the use of extension staff at the top and bottom of the table forms.
