Product Guide
Turbo H Frame System
for your shoring needs.
3 COMPONENT SYSTEM
The H Frame system uses only 3 basic components:
Frames
Braces
Adjustable screw Jacks
These components deliver real benefits:
Design versatility
Inventory cost savings
Improved productivity
(handling, erection, stripping & storing)
INVENTORY COST REDUCTIONS
Selection, assembly & erection are simplified
Stripping is more orderly and easily managed
Transport & storage are easy
Storage space is less
H FRAME IMPROVES YOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The H FRAME components are easy to handle and light weight
Erection & stripping speeds are maximised
The simplicity of the H FRAME system minimises costly errors
The H FRAME components are compactly designed & easy to transport & store
H FRAME OFFERS VERSATILE DESIGN
H FRAME design involves large grids & offers flexibility of support arrangements. These, in turn, make it
easier for the engineer to increase or decrease frame grid positions relative to the concrete thickness to
be supported.
H FRAME also offers a shoring capability with height adjustment & heavy load-carrying capacity, in
accordance with AS3610. When working at above 2m above surrounding ground, suitable fall preventions
must be implemented.
H FRAME is the ideal system for civil engineering projects such as the laying of heavy slabs or beams
the construction of highway bridges.
