Aluma Beams - Formwork Aluminum Joist & Stringer
Aluma Beams for Construction Concrete Shoring and Wall Formwork Include Joist& Stringer.
Construction Formwork Aluminum Aluma Beams
Aluma beam is a type of formwork aluminium beams, used as aluminium stringer (main beams) and aluminium joists (secondary beams) in slab and beam formwork shoring system and as vertical and horizontal support or wallers in the concrete wall formwork system. Thus, aluma beams are also called aluma shoring beams, formwork aluminium beams, aluma formwork, aluma form, etc.
Aluma beams are the main components of the formwork aluma system. They are fixed to each other with aluminium clips used in construction, including Aluma A clips and universal clamps.
Wellmade is the leading aluma beam supplier. All sizes of formwork aluminium beams are for sale, including 123mm, 140mm, 150mm, 165mm(6.5″), 185mm, 190mm (7.5″), 220mm, etc. Send us an email for an immediate quote.

Formwork Aluma Beams
Aluma beams are components of the formwork aluma system, which uses aluma beams and aluma beam clips to form a concrete vertical shoring system for slab and beam formwork, or to provide horizontal and vertical support for wall formwork.
Aluma beams are lightweight and easy to handle in construction. They are rust-resistant and easy to store. This saves labour, time and cost.
Formwork aluminium beams are mostly inserted with nailer strips to make them stronger and sturdier during construction. The nailer strips can be timber or PVC type.
Aluma beam is also known as formwork aluminium beams, aluminium shoring beams, viga aluma and aluma forms.
Aluma Shoring Beam System
Aluma shoring beam systems are used as primary and secondary beams in the concrete slab and beam shoring construction.
Primary beams are larger and can bear more weight; they are typically called aluminium stringer beams, such as 7.5″ aluminium beams with nailer strips.
Secondary beams can be smaller than primary beams and are called aluminium joist beams. For example, 6.5″ aluminium beams with nailer strips.
Aluminium Support Beam System
Aluminium support beam systems include concrete Aluma wall forms and Aluma column forms.
In wall and column formwork, aluma beams serve as vertical or horizontal supporting members during concrete curing. Compared with steel formwork wailers and H20 timber formwork wallers, the Aluma system is lighter and has a longer lifespan.

Aluma Beam Clips
In the shoring and wall formwork system for concrete construction, the aluma beams are fixed and connected using aluma beam clips.
There are two types of aluma beam clips, one is the aluma A clips and the other is the universal clamps.
Both of the aluma beam clips joints primary stringer and secondary joist and fixed them together to ensure them sturdy without moving during construction.
Formwork Aluminium Beams VS Scaffolding Aluminium Beams
Aluminium formwork beams are extruded I- or H-beams, combined with nailer strips, mainly used as stringers or joists during concrete forming.
Scaffold aluminium beams are prefabricated bridging components of scaffolding systems, typically made of O.D. 48.3 mm aluminium tubes with top and bottom chords, used as bridges for large-span scaffolding construction. They are attached to the scaffolds by scaffolding clamps.
