The 750mm Asterix Alloy Beam excels in scenarios where strength meets portability. It’s commonly used for:
Its lightweight nature makes it a favourite for urban projects where space and transport are limited.
Safety is at the core of the Asterix design. Each beam undergoes rigorous quality checks to prevent failures, with built-in features such as anti-slip surfaces and secure connection points. It complies with BS EN 12811-1 standards for temporary works equipment, ensuring it withstands real-world stresses. Always inspect beams before use, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for spans and loads, and pair them with appropriate guardrails. These beams are certified for use in the UK and EU, promoting worker protection and site compliance.
It’s made from a premium aluminium alloy that cuts weight by up to 50% while maintaining comparable strength, making it easier to manoeuvre without sacrificing performance.
Yes, these beams are designed to connect seamlessly with standard couplers and tubes, so it fits right into most systems without needing adapters.
Depending on load, it can span up to 6m safely, but always consult load tables or an engineer for your specific setup to ensure compliance.
Yes, these beams are made from corrosion-resistant aluminium and hold up well in harsh weather, but regular cleaning and storage in dry areas will extend their lifespan.
Measure the gap you need to bridge and add a safety margin. Shorter lengths like 1m or 2m work for tight spots, while 5m or 6m suit larger spans.
These beams comply with BS EN 1999-1 standards (with 1.0m restraints), offering a permissible bending moment of 41.3 kNm and permissible shear of 23.7 kN. It’s fully compatible with standard X-beam setups, but note that its capacity is not equivalent to that of higher-rated X-beams. Loads should always be applied at node points for best performance, and maximum point loads are limited (e.g., around 15-29.5 kN in some configurations based on similar alloy beams). For your specific span, configuration, and load type, consult a qualified scaffold designer or engineer and refer to site-specific calculations or load tables, never exceed recommended limits to ensure full compliance and safety.
