Wooden formwork girder GT 24

Overview
The GT 24 formwork lattice girder is a wooden truss beam designed for high load-bearing capacity and bending stiffness. It is used in wall, column and slab formwork systems and for special or shaped formwork, enabling reductions in material usage and on-site labour.

Key benefits

• High load capacity and rigidity for heavy loads and long spans.
• Suitable for wall, column, slab and special formwork applications.
• Facilitates fast connection to site accessories due to the lattice construction.

Features

• Lattice (truss) girder with reinforced nodes using mini-dovetail/mini-wedge jointing to minimise trapped moisture.
• Struts penetrate the chords across the full section to reduce cavities and moisture retention.
• Overall height 24 cm for elevated load and span performance.

Applications

• Wall formwork (vertical concrete elements)
• Column formwork
• Slab formwork (including slab edge supports)
• Special and shaped formwork
