Formwork ties and other components
can be fixed virtually anywhere along
the Superslim Soldier’s length, you have
complete freedom to create the optimum
design, whatever the application.
Using close-tolerance jigs, the Superslim
Soldier is precisely manufactured from
high-yield steel, combining maximum
durability and load capacity with
reduced unit weight.
Robustness to cope with the demands of
frequent re-use means easier assembly
and consistently accurate fabrication
on-site.

Superslim Soldiers are ideal as primary
beams on shoring or scaffolding to support
reinforced concrete slab construction.
Because they can be assembled into
practically any length, Superslim Soldiers are
frequently used as raking push-pull props, as
well as vertical shoring.
Using system clamps, scaffold tube and other
accessories, Superslim Soldiers can be
assembled with ease into frames and trusses
for façade retentions, multi -level supports to
temporary site offices, cantilever supports,
exhibition stands and film sets.
