PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

European-Style Steel Support,also known as EU-standard temporary steel support,is a high-performance,modular load-bearing system designed in line with European construction norms(e.g.,EN 12811-1,EN 10219)for temporary structural support in construction,infrastructure,and industrial projects.Distinguished by its precision engineering,modular compatibility,and strict safety compliance,it is tailored to meet Europe’s rigorous requirements for load capacity,durability,and environmental adaptability—serving short-term needs like concrete formwork bracing,structural assembly,and infrastructure maintenance before permanent structures take over.Its key strengths lie in standardized dimensions,quick assembly,and enhanced safety features,making it a preferred choice in EU and global projects adhering to European building standards.

Core Design&Structural Features

European-Style Steel Support integrates"standardization"and"safety,"with structural details optimized for European construction practices:

High-Grade Material:Primarily made of S355JR carbon steel(superior to Q355 in tensile strength,≥355MPa)or galvanized alloy steel,ensuring resistance to corrosion(critical for Europe’s humid climates)and high load-bearing capacity.Seamless steel tubes(common diameters:Φ48.3mm,Φ60.3mm,Φ88.9mm)with wall thicknesses of 3.2mm-5mm—precision-cut for uniform dimensions to enable modular connection.

Modular Connection System:Features a universal coupler or sleeve-joint design(compatible with EU-standard scaffold components)for tool-free,rapid assembly.For example,the"click-lock"joint allows vertical/horizontal supports to connect in seconds,eliminating the need for welding or complex fasteners.Adjustable models use threaded lead screws(with fine-pitch threads,M20-M30)for precise height adjustment(±1mm accuracy),replacing traditional pin-type locks for smoother operation.

Enhanced Safety Components:Equipped with anti-slip top plates(120×120mm-200×200mm,with serrated surfaces to prevent formwork sliding)and enlarged base plates(200×200mm-300×300mm,thickness≥6mm)to distribute loads evenly—reducing ground pressure to≤20kN/m²(compliant with EN 1997-1 geotechnical standards).Many models include built-in load indicators(mechanical or digital)to alert overloading,a unique feature rarely seen in conventional supports.

Lightweight yet Rigid Structure:Uses hollow-section steel tubes(weight 10%-15%lighter than solid counterparts)without compromising load capacity—standard vertical supports bear≤40kN,heavy-duty models up to 100kN—facilitating on-site handling(critical for Europe’s labor efficiency requirements).

Main Classification

By Function:

Formwork Support Frames:Modular tower systems(e.g.,PERI-style)combining vertical supports,horizontal beams,and diagonal braces—used for large-area concrete slabs(e.g.,commercial building floors)or high-rise column formwork.

Single-Pole Supports:Adjustable single-tube supports(height range:1.2m-6m)for localized support,such as beam formwork bracing or small-scale infrastructure repairs.

Lateral Bracing Systems:Diagonal or horizontal steel struts with shock-absorbing joints—designed to resist wind loads(up to 0.5kN/m²,per EN 1991-1-4)and prevent structural sway in high-rise or bridge projects.

By Adjustability:

Fine-Adjustment Supports:Threaded lead screw design for micro-height tuning(adjustment range:100mm-500mm),ideal for precision formwork elevation control(e.g.,precast concrete component installation).

Telescopic Supports:Two-section or three-section telescopic tubes with lockable sleeves—height range 2m-8m,suitable for high-formwork scenarios like stadium roofs or industrial workshop ceilings.

Typical Applications

Residential&Commercial Construction:Modular formwork support for concrete slabs,beams,and columns in apartment buildings or office complexes(e.g.,Berlin’s high-rise residential projects),leveraging quick assembly to meet tight construction timelines.

Infrastructure Projects:Used in bridge construction(e.g.,European highway bridges)to support precast beam segments during installation;in tunnel projects(e.g.,Paris Metro expansions)to brace tunnel linings during shotcrete application,with corrosion-resistant galvanized steel adapting to underground humidity.

Industrial&Heritage Renovation:Temporary support for factory steel structures(e.g.,automotive plant roof trusses)during maintenance;in heritage building restoration(e.g.,Italian Renaissance churches),non-damaging modular connections protect historic structures while providing stable bracing.

Compliance&Usage Guidelines

Strict Standard Adherence:Must meet EN 12811-1(load-bearing requirements)and EN 10219(steel tube manufacturing standards);products require CE certification to be used in EU projects—ensuring traceability of materials and load capacity testing.

Load Calculation&Matching:Use EU-standard load calculation software(e.g.,SCIA Engineer)to determine support specifications;never exceed rated loads(e.g.,40kN for standard poles)—the built-in load indicator will trigger an alarm if limits are approached.

Installation&Inspection:Assemble only by certified workers trained in EU scaffold safety(per EN 13000);check verticality with laser levels(deviation≤0.5°)to avoid eccentric loading.Before use,inspect for galvanization damage(rust spots>5mm²mean scrapping)and joint tightness.

Dismantling Protocol:Dismantle in reverse order of assembly(top-down,symmetrically)only when permanent structures reach 90%design strength(per EN 1992-1-1 for concrete);avoid sudden load release to prevent structural shock.
