Lattice beam information

Our lightweight aluminium lattice beams are ideal for bridging over any type of structure to gain access. They are extremely easy to handle, store, and transport, and this is because they are made from aluminium rather than steel. However, they are a powerful and robust piece of equipment that has been manufactured and conforms to BS EN 1999-1-1 British standards.

Lattice beams are typically used for some of the following scenarios:

• Bridge over obstructions like garages, lean-to, or conservatories.
• Bridging over openings, for example, door entrances, garages, or carports.
• Suspended platforms, birdcages or crash decks.
• Temporary roofing structures.
• Used on stages for music festivals.
• Film and TV for lighting and rigging.
• Load-bearing applications.

What is an aluminium lattice beam?

Lattice beams consist of parallel longitudinal tubes united by diagonal tubes, creating a lattice effect. Aluminium lattice beams are lightweight yet strong structural components used for bridging in scaffolding and temporary roofing systems.

What are the key features of a lattice beam?

Below is a short list of the main features of our aluminium beams:

• The design allows easy connection to any type of scaffolding framework.
• They are half the weight of a steel beam.
• They are around 1.5 times stronger than a steel beam.
• They comply with British and European standards.
• They can be connected end to end using beam spigots and spring clips.
• Great for weight-bearing loads.

What type of aluminium are lattice beams made from?

Our lattice beams are made from 6082 aluminium, which is of medium strength with exceptional resistance to corrosion.

How do you connect aluminium beams?

You can connect lattice beams end to end by joining them with beam spigots and spring clips.

What is a beam spigot?

Beam spigots are inserted at the ends of the beams to connect them together. A spigot forms a joint to the top and bottom sections of the beam and should be secured in place using grade 8.8 M12 bolts or spring clips.
