Maximum safety with Airshore

The internationally proven Airshore system.

Never trust your life to a simple construction strut! Protect you and your team!

Construction struts will usually only withstand a load of approximately 2 tons (2.2 US tons), or just 1 – 1.5 tons (1.1 – 1.7 US tons) when extended. That means you would need about 18 construction struts for a 27-ton load. This would call for a lot of time or personnel. Admittedly, we used to be thankful even for such simple construction struts. But, now we can offer you the specially developed Airshore strut system, ensuring maximum safety for rescue personnel. Protect yourself and your team effectively against building collapse. After all, you wouldn’t dream of driving without a seat belt these days, would you?

Airshore struts have a load capacity up to 9 times greater than conventional construction struts. They also offer a safety factor of 2:1. This saves vital time in emergencies and gives you an extra feeling of security.

Versatile and absolutely reliable. Trust Airshore!

Versatility

Well-designed Airshore accessories enable you to connect multiple struts, timbers or belts to form entire systems. The Airshore system is extremely flexible and can be used in a variety of ways.

Safety and reliability

The tried-and-tested Airshore locking mechanism is highly valued by experienced rescue professionals for the high degree of safety and reliability it offers. Two safety pins per strut increase safety. The mechanism is continuously adjustable and the struts can be extended with millimetre accuracy. For greater stability, the struts are produced from a single piece.

Integrated early warning system

Airshore struts are designed for heavy loads and offer a high safety factor. Nonetheless, should a strut become overloaded – because the load slips after the strut has been positioned, for example –, the safety pins can help you recognise this. If the lower pin is solid, the building may have shifted so the load on the strut has increased. The load is now over half the maximum level and you can react before it is too late.

Dust and dirt. So what?

Unlike sensitive screw threads, our 2-pin system works smoothly and reliably even if there is a lot of dust and dirt at the site of operations. Thanks to the thick, durable pins and the large bore, the strut is less susceptible to dirt in rescue situations.

Pneumatic operation

Extend the struts pneumatically to prepare long struts or – as is the case with the heavy-duty column – several struts at the same time as quickly as possible. For trench support, the struts can be positioned in the trench on lowering hooks and extended before rescue workers enter the danger zone.
