Modular Outrigger Beams Provided through Winsafe Corporation

Winsafe's modular outrigger beams:

• Do all the jobs - they reach up to 14 feet, and work on overhangs.
• Simplify your field work - light eight foot lengths are easy to carry and pin together at site.
• Increase your safety - tubular beam is more resistant to lateral deflection and twist than comparable I sections.
• Are a great value - they cost about the same as making your own out of aluminum I beams.

The outrigger beams provide up to a 4 ft. reach. The 16 ft. system has an 8 ft. front beam, standard splice and 8 ft. rear beam with a slot for cast weights.

Overhang beams lets you reach those areas below an overhang or cornice. The fully adjustable components allow you to reach up to 5 ft. down and 4 ft. under an overhang.

The cable truss system provides up to an 8 ft. reach at 1,000 lbs. capacity. As with the strait beams, the cable truss upright and the wire ropes pin to the beams. For the set up shown below, a front beam, cable truss, two mid sections, a rear section and two splices have been used. The optional sliding beam collar allows the suspension point to be adjusted after the beam has been put in position.

The Standard Internal Splice joins the sections together quickly and easily with connector pins - no splice plates - no nuts and bolts - no wrenches. Each front, band, and mid beam section weights only 32 lbs. Easy to carry - and easy to handle in corridors and elevators.

The suspension cables are hooked to a Drop Forged Link. This has two advantages - the link moves out of the way for easy handling when transporting or storing the beams, and it is very strong. The link has a working strength of 4,200 lbs. and an ultimate strength of 25,200 lbs.

Adjust the position of the suspension point without moving the beam. When working on confined rooftops the optional sliding collar gives you the flexibility of moving the suspension point.

Both Longhorn weights and Cast weights can be used with this system. For longhorn weights there is a 30 in. and 42 in. longhorn available. If you use cast weights there is a machined slot that will accept 7 weights and there is a beam saddle available that will take an additional 12 cast weights. If your weight system doesn't fall into these two categories, we will build a weight holder system for you.
