Product Highlights

• Single person handling and set applications in difficult areas.
• Snap-on Jet Locks make erection and dismantling fast, easy and safe.
• Capacity tested to safe working loads up to 22,700 kg (50,000 lbs) per frame with a safety factor of 2.5:1.
• Versatile components are interchangeable and adjustable to suit diverse applications.
• Transportation and handling costs are reduced because of their light weight and modular features.

We manufacture a frame with a load capacity of up to 27,000 kg. (50,000 lbs with a safety factor of 2.5:1, which is yet lighter than a steel scaffold arch frame with a capacity of only 5,000lb.!   The benefits are dramatic, and even more so with our design advantages.

While the rest of the world catches up, we are still designing and still improving.

Strong and Durable

Like all of our modular systems this one is high capacity, damage resistant and re-usable.  It requires minimal maintenance and has a lengthy service life.

Versatile

Hi-Lite’s aluminum shoring frames are all modular.

• The components are interchangeable and adjustable. 
• The legs easily convert to post shores when the inside panels are removed. 
• The ledgers are compatible with three different design capacity systems – 10k, 16k and 25k.
• Four vertical T-bolt slots run the full length of every leg so that braces can be attached at any height and in all four directions. 
• They accommodate ½ inch bolts with three different heads.
• Two-foot spacing of the ledgers makes climbing easy.
• Combinations of accessories like screwjacks, base plates and extension tubes can be added to meet almost any conditions, such as sloped surfaces.

Economical

All of this means two things – lighter components and fewer components.  Lower inventory means less transportation to and from the job-site.  It means less storage costs and lower handling charges.  Ease of assembly reduces labor costs, over and over again.

Safe and Efficient

• Aluminum shoring frames are light enough to be hand set if a crane is not desired.
• Under a slab, where use of a crane is especially awkward, hand dismantling is a real advantage.
• A single worker can lift even the heaviest component (27 kg. or 60 lb.)
• Single person handling when needed is therefore available.
• Snap-on Jet Locks make erection and dismantling fast, easy and safe.

Safely support 10,000 lb. using Hi-Lite 's heavy load post shores (even 15' high).   Based on their strength/weight ratio and ease of handling, one experienced contractor said they saved 80%!
