16k Modular Aluminum Shoring Frames

Strong and Durable

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

We manufacture 16K frames with a load capacity of up to 142.5 kN (50,000 lbs) and a safety factor of 2.5:1, which is yet lighter than a steel shoring frame with a capacity of only 44.5 kN (10,000 lbs)! The benefits are dramatic, even more so with our design advantages.

Maximum Versatility

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 two different design capacity systems – 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.
• The shoring frames 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 these features mean two things – lighter components and fewer of them. Less inventory means less frequent transportation to and from the job-site. It means lower 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 the use of a crane is especially awkward, dismantling shoring frames by hand is a real advantage.
• A single worker can lift even the heaviest component (27 kg. or 60 lb.)

Product Highlights

• Single-person handling when it's needed is an option.
• Snap-on Jet Locks make erection and dismantling fast, easy, and safe.
• Versatile components are interchangeable and adjustable to suit different applications.
• Transport and handling costs are reduced because of the system's light weight and modular features.
• The Quick Release Pin make stripping quick and easy.
