Summary of the Dayton Superior FrameFast™ Shoring System
The Dayton Superior FrameFast™ is a heavy-duty, frame-based shoring system engineered for constructing elevated slabs and decks. The system is built for strength, labor productivity, and reusability. The core components are welded shoring frames made from 50,000 psi yield steel, with a safe load capacity of up to 12,000 lbs per leg. Assembly is accelerated by patented Drop Lock or Posilock mechanisms that secure crossbraces quickly and without loose parts. The system is designed for use with lightweight, high-strength aluminum beams and joists, which require fewer pieces to support a given load compared to wood.
Benefits of FrameFast™ Compared to Competitors
- Superior Labor Productivity: The simple, repetitive assembly using Drop Lock or Posilock connections allows crews to erect and dismantle shoring towers quickly. Most components are light enough for one person to handle, boosting efficiency.
- Reduced Material Handling and Costs: The high strength-to-weight ratio of the frames and aluminum beams means fewer components are needed to shore a given area, which translates to lower rental fees, reduced transport costs, and fewer man-hours.
- Engineered Strength & Safety: As a fully engineered system with published load capacities, FrameFast™ provides predictable, reliable strength, a critical safety advantage over non-engineered or generic shoring systems.
- Powerful Simplicity: Compared to more complex and costly modular systems, FrameFast™ provides a straightforward, powerful, and cost-effective solution for the vast majority of heavy deck shoring needs, such as parking garages and high-rise slabs.
- Superior Engineering and Quality: Unlike generic frame systems, FrameFast™ is built with superior 50,000 psi yield steel and features patented locking mechanisms that enhance both speed and safety.
