Sleeved Side Rail System

For Buildings with 2 Bays or More.

The sleeved side rail system optimises the use of steel by incorporating sleeves at the penultimate rafter with a staggered sleeving arrangement on internal bays.

The sleeved system caters for spans up to 15m depending on the load to be applied and where the cladding or liner tray offers adequate support by virtue of its fixing: i.e. fixed according to the cladding manufacturer’s instructions.

Computer controlled production techniques apply the client’s individual mark numbers to all rails automatically during the manufacturing process.

C-section Sleeved Side Rail System

Single span system

Single span lengths can be supplied to suit individual requirements. Penultimate rafter connections are sleeved with a staggered sleeving arrangement on internal bays.

Typical single span arrangement indicating rail and sleeve positions.

Double span system

End bay rails are single span, with double span rails on internal bays. The maximum double span rail is 15m, therefore the maximum span between columns is 7.5m. A sleeve must occur at every joint position.

Typical double span arrangement indicating rail and sleeve positions.

Note: consideration must be given to the handling of longer lengths.
