Steeline “C” SECTION FLOORING SYSTEM
This system offers a reduced
height (240mm max) because
the bearers and joists are in the
same plane, which can be an
advantage in some applications.

This system uses adjustable

galvanised stumps. Bearers and
joists are custom cut to suit.

All sections are manufactured

from galvanised Z350-G450
hi-tensile steel.

Flooring System can be screwed

together - Fig 3, 4 & 7 or welded
on site - Fig 6.
Assembled and welded on site.
