Floor beam for pig farm buildings PRF-PIG-0044-076-06-00

Product description
The RABDION GFRP Standard Floor Beam is a pultruded structural profile designed for swine farrowing, nursery and finishing house flooring sub-structures. Certified to EN 13706 Grade E23, it provides high load-bearing capacity with low deflection over extended spans in both shallow- and deep-pit installations. The non-metallic construction offers thermal comfort and electrical non-conductivity while eliminating corrosion risks associated with steel or concrete supports.

Key features

• EN 13706 E23 performance rating.
• Resistant to ammonia, manure acids and common washdown chemicals.
• Improved biosecurity and hygienic surface compared with metal or concrete supports.
• Suitable for extended clear spans in shallow and deep pit systems.
• Non-conductive material delivers thermal comfort benefits for livestock.
• Compatible with standard plastic slat panels and modular flooring systems.
