   STRONGBACK SPLICE PLATE & CHANNEL

Lightweight Aluminum Strongbacks support Aluminum Beam in vertical shoring as they tie the entire support system together.  Strongbacks are made to be held in back-to-back pairs via a Tie Plate, and lengths of Strongbacks are connected via a pair of parts:  the Splice Channel (slipped inside the Strongback Channel), and a Splice Plate (on the back of the Strongback Channel).

   STRONGBACK STEEL TIE PLATE

Strongback Channels are used back-to-back and held together via a Steel Tie Plate.  The Tie Plate has 4 slotted holes so that easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolts can lock the Strongback to the 4 corners of the Tie Plate.  The center hole of the Tie Plate provides the means to tie this wallform to the facing wallform.  The heavy gauge of the Tie Plate guarantees the strength required to hold Strongbacks, and the walls together.

   STRONGBACK SHOES

Strongback Shoes are used to protect the bottoms of the Strongback Channel from abrasion and beating.  The Shoes protect the Strongback ends so that repeated use does not preclude future splicing due to damage.  Strongback Shoes are accurately slotted to bolt to the first pair of holes in the Strongback Channel.  Once bolted, the Shoe will extended slightly further than the end of the Strongback, thus protecting it from damage.
