HORIZ. FORMING & SHORING
Soldier Beam
for use in forming and construction were
developed in England years ago to reduce the need for
scarce and high-priced lumber. They were brought to
the U.S. and improved upon when the same conditions
appeared in this construction market.
Symons has improved on the original design to produce
the "next generation", the most versatile, compatible
construction beam system available.
Soldiers are a strong, lightweight construction beam
system with unlimited application possibilities. They
are truly the "next generation" because of their unique
hole patterns which make them adaptable to almost
any configuration. When used in conjunction with their
accessories, Soldiers can be braces, horizontal shore,
vertical shores, strongbacks, walers, cantilever stiffbacks,
trusses and many other forming components.
Soldiers are compatible with all Symons Forming Systems.
They can be the waler and strongback system for Steel-
Ply
®
, or Versiform
®
; they can be the one-sided bracing or
cantilever stiffbacks for Max-A-Form
®
; they can be the
truss and shoring for custom applications.
Soldiers are double, 9", specially formed channels
of 10 gauge, high strength steel. The end plates are
perpendicular to the channels. When bolted together
end-to-end with four ¾" × 2" Speed Bolts, the Soldiers
become a straight, continuous beam which develops
its full strength through the connection. Hole patterns
in all faces of the channels and in the end plates
accommodate the accessories and permit assembly in
many configurations.
Soldiers are lightweight and strong. They are as light as
double 5" channels and as strong as double 8" channels.
The engineering data confirms the impressive strength-
to-weight ratio of Symons Soldiers.
Soldiers Feature:
Unique hole pattern permits a wide variety
of assembly configurations.
All accessories bolt to the Soldier with ¾" ×
2" Speed Bolt.
Soldier is fabricated with strong, but
lightweight 50 ksi steel.
Accessories are bolted directly to the
Soldier at any point along web.
End-to-end connection provides same
moment capacity as beam.
A complete line of accessories and
hardware are available.
