The Superslim Soldier is the definitive

formwork primary beam, with its

unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio,

versatility and range of accessories. Robust

and easily assembled into beams of

almost any length, the Superslim Soldier can

be re-used on site after site, in numerous

temporary works applications.

It’s the result of over 60 years experience

gained on major projects throughout the

world. What’s more, our network of local

branches means that when you deal with

RMD Kwikform, you talk to people who

understand the working environment,

Formwork ties and other components

can be fixed virtually anywhere along

the Superslim Soldier’s length, you have

complete freedom to create the optimum

design, whatever the application.

Using close-tolerance jigs, the Superslim

Soldier is precisely manufactured from

high-yield steel, combining maximum

durability and load capacity with

reduced unit weight.

Robustness to cope with the demands of

frequent re-use means easier assembly

and consistently accurate fabrication

Superslim Soldiers are ideal as primary

beams on shoring or scaffolding to support

reinforced concrete slab construction.

Because they can be assembled into

practically any length, Superslim Soldiers are

frequently used as raking push-pull props, as

well as vertical shoring.

Using system clamps, scaffold tube and other

accessories, Superslim Soldiers can be

assembled with ease into frames and trusses

for façade retentions, multi -level supports to

temporary site offices, cantilever supports,

exhibition stands and film sets.
