Products - Beam & Stringer
The aluma-style 6½" aluminum beam has been the workhorse of the industry for decades. Its strength and lightweight properties provide an optimal working combination. Aluminum minimizes the number of total horizontal and vertical members required on the job, compared to wood. Since it is lightweight compared to steel, the contractor realizes labor productivity through ease of use.
The beam contains a 2" x 2" plastic nailer strip which is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, and will not become soft in hot weather, nor brittle, nor crack in extreme cold. Plastic nailers are much more durable than wood and will withstand repeated use as plastic is apt to self-heal upon fastener removal.
The beam has a T-Head Bolt slot in its base for fastening stringers, strongbacks or I-Beams with the easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolt.

The Hi-Lite style 6½" aluminum beam is a heavier beam than the aluma-style. It can bear somewhat more weight in use than the aluma-style. It also is designed with curls at the ends of all flanges to ensure proper gripping of clamps. The curls also act to provide a stronger flange edge, less apt to be damaged in use and thus providing greater longevity in the field.
As are all GATEWAY beams and stringers, the Hi-Lite style product contains a 2" x 2" plastic nailer strip which is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, and will not become soft in hot weather, nor brittle, nor crack in extreme cold. Plastic nailers are much more durable than wood and will withstand repeated use as plastic is apt to self-heal upon fastener removal.
The beam has the standard T-Head Bolt slot in its base for fastening stringers, strongbacks or I-Beams with the standard easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolt.

The 7½" aluma-style A-Stringer Beam is used in combination with the 6½" Beam. This Stringer Beam is lighter weight than our Heavy Stringer, 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.
As are all GATEWAY beams and stringers, our stringer products contain a 2" x 2" plastic nailer strip which is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, and will not become soft in hot weather, nor brittle, nor crack in extreme cold. Plastic nailers are much more durable than wood and will withstand repeated use as plastic is apt to self-heal upon fastener removal.
As in all of our stringers and beams, this product has the standard T-Head Bolt slot in its base for fastening other stringers, strongbacks or I-Beams with the standard easy-to-use self-locking A-Bolt.

The 7½" 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. Its lower flange is 4" wide, allowing these to be doubled in an 8" saddle for particularly heavy jobs.
The Stringer Beam is easily clamped to the 6½" Beam usually via an A-Clamp or W-Clamp.
As are all GATEWAY beams and stringers, our stringer products contain a 2" x 2" plastic nailer strip which is formulated to provide nail gripping properties comparable to wood, and will not become soft in hot weather, nor brittle, nor crack in extreme cold. Plastic nailers are much more durable than wood and will withstand repeated use as plastic is apt to self-heal upon fastener removal.
