Aluminum Beam 450 mm

Engineered to international standards for safety, speed and durability on every job site.

Overview

The Aluminum Beam 450 mm - also called an aluminum beam 450mm or alloy beam - is a high-capacity structural member used in scaffolding, formwork and temporary works. Its 450 mm deep aluminum profile gives a high strength-to-weight ratio for spanning wide gaps between standards or shoring frames while keeping the assembly light enough to handle by hand.

Aluminum Beam 450 mm - High Capacity Aluminum Scaffold Beam

Key Features

  • High-capacity 450 mm deep aluminum alloy beam
  • Spans longer distances than standard scaffold tubes
  • Lighter than equivalent steel beams for easier handling
  • Lengths from 14' to 28' for common bay sizes
  • O.D 48.3×4.25mm structural compatibility
  • Corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 / 6082-T6 aluminum
  • Mill finish or anodized surface options
  • ISO 9001 quality with FOB Shanghai delivery

An aluminum beam 450 mm is a deep structural beam made from high-grade aluminum alloy. The 450 mm depth gives it the section modulus needed to support scaffold platforms, formwork panels and temporary roofs across longer spans than a standard scaffold tube or ledger could manage. Because it is aluminum, the beam is far lighter than an equivalent steel section, making it easier to lift, transport and reposition on site. The 14', 17', 21' and 28' lengths listed cover common scaffold and formwork bay sizes, all built to O.D 48.3×4.25mm tube compatibility. ACE SCAFFOLD aluminum beams are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality with FOB Shanghai delivery.

An aluminum beam 450 mm is the deep-section beam that lets scaffolding and formwork span further with less weight. Its 450 mm depth gives high bending resistance, while the aluminum alloy keeps it light enough for manual handling.

High Capacity Alloy Beam

The 450 mm deep profile provides the moment of inertia needed for long spans and heavy platform loads. It is used where a standard ledger or tube would deflect too much, but a steel beam would be too heavy to erect easily.

14' to 28' Standard Lengths

Common scaffold and shoring spans are covered by 14' (18.7 kgs), 17' (22.7 kgs), 21' (28.1 kgs) and 28' (37.4 kgs) beams. Each beam uses O.D 48.3×4.25mm structural tube compatibility for connection to standard scaffold fittings.

Lightweight Aluminum Construction

Made from 6061-T6 or 6082-T6 aluminum alloy, the beam resists corrosion and weighs a fraction of an equivalent steel beam. Mill finish or anodized surfaces are available depending on site exposure and appearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
What is an Aluminum Beam 450 mm?
An Aluminum Beam 450 mm is a high-capacity structural beam with a 450 mm deep aluminum profile. It is used in scaffolding, formwork and temporary works to span longer distances and carry heavier loads than standard scaffold tubes.
Q
What lengths are available?
Standard lengths are 14' (18.7 kgs), 17' (22.7 kgs), 21' (28.1 kgs) and 28' (37.4 kgs). Custom lengths can be supplied on request.
Q
What is the structure specification?
All listed beams use O.D 48.3×4.25mm structural tube compatibility, making them easy to connect with standard scaffold fittings and couplers.
Q
What aluminum alloy is used?
ACE SCAFFOLD aluminum beams are made from high-grade 6061-T6 or 6082-T6 aluminum alloy for strength, light weight and corrosion resistance.
Q
Why use an aluminum beam instead of steel?
Aluminum offers a much better strength-to-weight ratio. A 450 mm aluminum beam can carry large loads across wide spans while remaining light enough for crews to lift and position by hand or with light handling equipment.
Q
What finish options are available?
Mill finish and anodized surfaces are available. Anodizing gives extra surface protection and a cleaner appearance for exposed or long-term applications.
Q
Where are aluminum beams used?
They are used to support scaffold platforms, formwork panels, temporary roofs, bridging beams, shoring frames and any temporary structure that needs a strong, lightweight spanning member.
Q
How much does each beam weigh?
Unit weights are 18.7 kgs for 14', 22.7 kgs for 17', 28.1 kgs for 21' and 37.4 kgs for 28'.
Q
Can aluminum beams be joined end-to-end?
Yes. Beams can be joined with compatible spigots, splice plates or couplers depending on the load and span requirements. Contact us for connection details.
Q
Do aluminum beams meet scaffold standards?
ACE SCAFFOLD aluminum beams are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management and are suitable for use in systems compliant with EN 12810 / EN 12811, ANSI, AS/NZS 1576 and OSHA when designed by a competent engineer.
Q
Can I order custom sizes or surface treatments?
Yes. ACE SCAFFOLD offers OEM/ODM services including custom lengths, drilling, surface treatments, packaging and labeling. Contact us with your project requirements and quantity.
Q
What is the difference between a 450 mm beam and a standard scaffold ledger?
A standard scaffold ledger is a single Ø48.3 mm tube. A 450 mm aluminum beam is a deep structural member with far greater bending resistance, designed for long spans and heavy platform loads.
