XBeam is made from the combination of 2 technologies, carbon fibre-reinforced polymers and High Tensile T6 Aluminium. Carbon fibre’s strength as a material comes down to the nature of the composite. The ability to tailor the direction of the carbon fibres means it can yield stiffness 20 times greater than a metal baseline. That means carbon fibre structures can span further distances and support greater weights while also weighing less –opening doors for greater designs. This is also suitable for other external long span high load applications where Steel “I beams” are used.
NOTE: Configurations could take up to three minutes to load fully depending on the size & complexity as it is configured in real-time based on requirements.
This system is designed in accordance with Aluminium Structures, Part 1: Limit State Design AS/NZS 1664.1 Standards Australia / New Zealand NZS/AS 1657.
Fully documented third party testing to ensure compliance to the building code. These included deflection, horizontal, load and temperature and durability.

Uniformly distributed design load capacity (kN/M) for L/250 deflection. Simply supported conditions + full lateral restraint.
(*Values under bold line do not reach deflection limit prior to shear/bending failure.)
Uniformly distributed design load capacity (kN/M) for L/300 deflection. Simply supported conditions + full lateral restraint.
(*Values under bold line do not reach deflection limit prior to shear/bending failure.)
Design moment capacity (kN/M) without lateral restraint.
The Xbeam is highly configurable whereby the carbon fibre quantities can be altered depending on loading requirements. There are currently three main beam height options.
