Carrying forward the advantages of using an aluminium helideck, an aluminium support frame becomes a logical next step.
We design and build these frames and support structures and then pre-fabricate and trial fit them at our factory. They are then packed in containers and shipped to you in knocked down form. Re-assembly requires fasteners only and is an extremely quick process. A typical support frame for a 22m deck will require 1 week for assembly.

Aluminium alloy support frames offer great advantages:

• 60% weight savings over steel equivalent
• Completely maintenance free
• 1 week assembly (against several months for steel)
• No welding, painting or blasting required
• Light weight reduces lift requirements
• Cost effective against steel
• Re-usable and recyclable
