GATEWAY manufacturers two distinctly different aluminum stringer beams.  Click on either to view data sheet.

7.5” HEAVY STRINGER BEAM

7.5” A-STRINGER BEAM

     7.5” HEAVY STRINGER BEAM

The 7½” Aluminum Heavy Stringer Beam is used in combination with the 6½” Beam.  This Stringer Beam is one of the beefiest in the industry, with an unusually high web thickness.

The Stringer Beam is easily clamped to the 6½” Beam usually via an A-Clamp or W-Clamp.

The beam contains either a 2x2 weather treated Southern Yellow Pine wood nailer (the hardest of the soft woods) or a weather resistant plastic nailer at it’s head.  The plastic nailer is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, yet will not become soft in hot weather (failing to grip), nor brittle and crack in cold.  The beam has a T-head A-Bolt slot in it’s base for fastening stringers, strongbacks or I-Beams with the easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolt.

    7.5” A-STRINGER BEAM

The 7½” A-Stringer Beam is used in combination with the 6½” Beam.  This Stringer Beam is lighter weight than our standard stringer beam, providing stringer class strength at a cost effective price.

The A-Stringer Beam is easily clamped to the 6½” Beam usually via an A-Clamp or W-Clamp.

The A-Stringer Beam contains either a 2x2 weather treated Southern Yellow Pine wood nailer (the hardest of the soft woods) or a weather resistant plastic nailer at it’s head.  The plastic nailer is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, yet will not become soft in hot weather (failing to grip), nor brittle and crack in cold.  The beam has a T-head A-Bolt slot in it’s base for fastening stringers, strongbacks or I-Beams with the easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolt.
