Product Features
The product images below come from your local Steel X-Strut files, and the feature copy follows the same sequence shown on those graphics.
1. Swivel CRG End Fitting
The Steel X-Strut comes standard with the Swivel CRG head fitting, giving crews multiple purchase-point options and 360 degree rotation to quickly find the right contact point.
2. Ergonomic Cone Pins
The exclusive cone pin design uses a flared end that is easier to grip, harder to lose on scene, and helps line up the Add-On Jack quickly.
3. Rugged Steel Construction
The Steel X-Strut is built from durable steel for 4,000 lbs. of strength and then powder coated for years of field durability.
4. X-Strut Lifting Power
With the removable mechanical Add-On Jack, the Steel X-Strut converts from shoring strut to lifting strut in seconds, delivering 4,000 lbs. of lift capacity with 12" of travel before reset.
5. Built-In Ratchet Strap
The standard Steel X-Strut includes a chassis-mounted ratchet strap with wire hooks so the strap stays right where crews need it. This is not offered on short struts.
6. Strut-Mounted D-Ring
An added D-ring mounted directly to the strut chassis on the standard-length strut gives crews another attachment point for straps and hooks.
7. 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.
