Beams and Beam connections

H 25 / H 45

H=25 cm ALUMINIUM U-BEAMS

25 cm aluminium beams that are 50 per cent lighter than a 45 cm steel beam. All tubes are Ø 48.3 mm so that a coupler can be used if necessary.

The beam with the special “X” stiffening plate guarantees a load-bearing capacity of 1.5 kN/m2 at 200 cm span, which is adequate for maintenance work, and, in any case, the load-bearing capacity can be increased by increasing the anchorage points and/or decreasing the beam span. The position of the stiffening plates allows to attach the coupler in several positions.

The beam consists of a U-profile and a tube and is reversible: it is used with the U on top for decks with a U-attachment or upside down for decks with a tube attachment.

Seven available lengths: 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 3.0 m, 4.0 m, 5.0 m, 6.0 m

On request, beams are also available in steel.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • High manoeuvrability
  • Reduced time for each assembly and disassembly step
  • Lower transport costs and storage space
  • Reduced operator fatigue
  • High safety
  • Registered Community Design

H=45 cm ALUMINIUM U-BEAMS

Lightweight and strong aluminium lattice h=45 cm beam, suitable for multiple uses. The beam is reversible and can be used with the U-profile on top (for U-mounted decks) or upside down for tube-mounted decks.

Seven dimensions: 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 3.0 m, 4.0 m, 5.0 m, 6.0 m

On request, beams are also available in steel.

Deck holder

DECK HOLDER FOR U-BEAMS

The deck holder for U-mounted decks prevents accidental lifting.

The T-profile is provided with two hooks that engage in the two slots in the beam’s U-profile and one safety latch that locks it to the beam.

No risk of tripping due to the very low thickness of the upper plate.

It can be used for both h=25 cm and h=45 cm beams.

Available in four lengths.

The table below specifies the combination of deck holders with beams with top U-profile.

n.2 L=300 cm or n.3 L=200 cm

HEAD DECK HOLDER

Aluminum head deck holder that is locked to the head of the beams with an elastic pin and prevents accidental slipping of the decks.

For h=25 cm and h=45 cm beams.

SCREW CLAMP

Screw clamp that locks onto the U-profile to prevent the decks from slipping when the decks do not cover the full length of the beam.

Spigot and Spring Pins

SPIGOTS AND SPRING PINS

To join the beams quickly and easily, a spigot system with unique spring pins has been designed to replace screws and nuts, making the connection simple and immediate even during disassembly without tools. It allows the creation of a continuous beam with perfect load distribution and achieving a continuous, coplanar working surface.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Fast and instant connection without tools
  • Also fast to disassemble
  • Also M12 screws and nuts can be used

NB: When using pins and/or spigots of other brands (not Pilosio), it is mandatory to lock the pin with a P-shaped cotter pin.

Quick release

When removing a portion of the FlyDeck platform while keeping suspended the part of the structure connected to it, a specific beam connection that can be released at any time is necessary.

It consists of four spigots and two plates joined by four bolts, which only need to be released to remove the beam.

This type of connection must be arranged during the set-up phase.

NB: The portion of the FlyDeck platform to be removed must be defined during the design phase. Plates with connecting spigots are used instead of the normal spigots on both sides of the FlyDeck beams to be removed.

X Force Hoists

X FORCE HOISTS TO MOVE A FLYDECK PLATFORM

Sometimes, for various reasons, it is necessary to move a complete FlyDeck platform or just part of it for working at different heights without having to disassemble and reassemble the structure, or quickly lift the platform to secure it.

Pilosio offers a complete range of motors with load capacities from 200 kg up to 2000 kg that are operated via a controller that operates several motors simultaneously.

To move only a portion of the Flydeck, use the special beam quick release connections.

During handling, be sure to secure both platform, the fixed and the motorised one.

NB: The customer must calculate the type of motors to be used, their position, and load capacity according to the type of handling to be performed.

Safety net

The safety net is installed during the assembly of the Flydeck platform, generally after the suspension chains are in place.

Hence, there is no need to create underdecks, which significantly reduces set-up time and the overall weight of the structure.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Certified polyethylene net (HDPE) with 100x100 mm mesh
  • Fastening on the lower chords of the Flydeck beam by means of a lanyard positioned every 2.5 m with a triple knot
  • 75 cm long polyester rope with a loop at one end
  • The net is supplied in 15 m rolls
  • Widths: 100 cm, 150 cm, 200 cm, 250 cm

NB: Distance between knots: maximum 2.5 m.
