Product Features
The product images below come from your local Aluminum X-Strut files, and the feature copy follows the same sequence shown on those graphics.
1. Swivel CRG Head Fitting
The Aluminum X-Strut includes the Swivel CRG head fitting, which rotates 360 degrees to help crews find the right purchase point quickly.
2. Oversized Cone Pins
Custom oversized cone pins with a flared profile automatically align with the jack for faster setup, while also being easier to grip and harder to lose.
3. Aluminum Construction
Built from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Aluminum X-Strut delivers heavy-duty strength without the weight penalty that comes with bulkier materials.
4. X-Strut Lifting Power
With the removable mechanical Add-On Jack, the Aluminum X-Strut converts from shoring strut to lifting strut in seconds, delivering 6,000 lbs. of lift capacity with 12" of travel before reset.
5. On-Board Ratchet Strap
The Aluminum X-Strut and Phoenix Aluminum X-Strut include a ratchet strap with wire hooks mounted right on the chassis, keeping the strap where crews need it for faster deployment.
6. Base-Mounted D-Rings
Pivoting rings built into the base plate support fast attachment of straps, hooks, and chains, and they can also double as a picket receiver when anchoring is required.
