XBEAM
Faster. Lighter. Stronger. Its’ the beam, raising the bar.
Monkeytoe XBEAM is a key to a revolutionary configurable aluminium beam system that is part of our Modular XBEAM platform system.
Our Benefits
-
Lightweight – Up to 65% Lighter than steel equivalent, Less loading on supporting structure.
-
Low deflection for superior Acoustic performance.
-
Fully modular Pre-engineered beam system.
-
Fast install using more off site, pre-assembled packages due to the lightweight, high strength beam. No hot work/Welding is required.
-
Fully isolated and pre-engineered connections to Portal frames
-
Fully sealed construction.

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.
Aluminium vs Steel The Ultimate Showdown
Aluminium has long been seen as a premium, quality product but now its versatility is really being realised. At Monkeytoe, we’re passionate about encouraging ‘Construction Influencers’ to look at the whole picture when it comes to construction, and it’s in this context that aluminium’s true benefits shine.
