Formwork Edge Protection
Edge Protection Systems for Formwork Structure
Temporary edge protection for formwork decks, slab edges and other open sides during concrete construction.
APAC provides complete systems for H20 timber beams, aluminium beams and other formwork structures. The fixing method can be selected according to the beam type, beam size and formwork layout.
- Fixing options for timber and aluminium formwork beams
- Clamp systems that do not need fixing into the concrete slab
- Barrier, post and attachment supplied as one system
System Examples
Different Ways to Protect Formwork Edges
The fixing method depends mainly on the formwork system being used.
A timber beam and an aluminium beam do not always need the same clamp, but the main barrier and post system can often remain the same.
Here are some common system examples.
H20 Timber Beam Edge Protection System
You can easily mount the H20 Timber Beam Clamp to the top surface of the H20 Beam and quickly lock it by tightening the integrated screw nut by hand.
Aluminium Beam Clamp Edge Protection System
The APAC adjustable aluminum beam clamp is compatible with a wide range of formwork platform and is suitable for beam sizes from 60 mm to 150 mm in width.

Applications
Common Formwork Edge Protection Applications
Formwork changes as the concrete frame moves from one floor to the next.
The fixing method can change with the formwork system, while the main barrier and post can continue to be used.
Slab Edges During Pouring
Protection along open slab edges while reinforcement, concrete pouring and finishing work are taking place.
Leading Edges
Protection around areas where the formwork deck is still being extended.
Formwork Deck Edges
Temporary protection around the outside edge of a formwork deck before the slab is poured.
Installation Process
Install the Protection With the Formwork
The exact installation method depends on the beam clamp, but the basic process is similar.
-
Check the Formwork Beam
Confirm the beam type, size and fixing position.
-
Install the Beam Clamp
Fit the selected clamp onto the wood timber or aluminum formwork beam.
-
Install the Post
Place the edge protection post into the clamp and secure it.
-
Install the Barrier
Fit the mesh barrier between the posts and lock it in position.
-
Check Corners and Openings
Make sure corners, short sections and nearby openings are also protected.
-
Final Check
Check the clamps, posts and barriers before work continues on the deck.
OEM & Private Label
Make the System Fit Your Formwork Range
Different formwork systems use different beam sizes and profiles.
If a standard clamp does not fit your product range, we can review your beam drawing, sample or existing system and discuss a suitable attachment.
Product Design
We can prepare drawings and confirm the main dimensions before production.
Clamp Design
Clamps can be reviewed around different timber or aluminium beam profiles where technically suitable.
System Compatibility
If you already have barriers or posts, we can check whether a new formwork clamp can work with your existing system.
Colour & Branding
We can support:
- Selected RAL colours
- Product labels
- Logo plates
- Custom packaging
Manufacturing & Quality
Consistent Parts for a Better System Fit
A formwork edge protection system needs the clamp, post and barrier to fit together correctly every time it is installed.
APAC checks the main dimensions and connection points during production, helping reduce fitting problems when the system is installed, moved and used again.
Sample Confirmation
Confirm the approved reference sample, drawing revision and product specification.
Material Inspection
Check material dimensions, specifications and available material documentation.
In-Process Inspection
Critical Dimensions
Surface Inspection
Trial Assembly
Assemble barriers, posts and attachments to verify system fit and component compatibility.
Quantity Verification
Check product quantities, accessory quantities and the confirmed bill of materials.
Packaging Inspection
Verify pallet protection, product labels, shipping marks and packaging requirements.
Pre-Shipment Review
Complete the final release review and retain relevant inspection and shipment records.
Packaging & Delivery
Packaging That Makes Handling Easier
Good packaging should protect the products, but it should also make them easier to count, store and move after they arrive.
Complete System Packing
Barriers, posts, clamps and accessories are checked together before shipment.
This helps reduce the chance of missing parts when the system reaches the warehouse or job site.
Steel Stillages
Mesh barriers can be packed in steel stillages for easier forklift handling and storage.
The stillages can also help keep products together when they are moved around the site.
Clear Labels
Different clamps, posts and barrier sizes can be marked clearly so they are easier to identify after delivery.
Business Application
Different Buyers Use the Same System in Different Ways
Edge Protection Brands
For companies that want to add formwork attachments to an existing edge protection product range.
We can support OEM products, private labels and clamp development.
Specialist Distributors & Agents
For companies supplying temporary safety equipment to formwork and concrete contractors.
Timber and aluminium beam clamps can help cover more formwork systems with the same main barrier and post range.
Rental & Hire Companies
For rental companies that need components that can be installed, removed and used again through repeated floor cycles.
Using common posts and barriers can also make stock management easier.
Formwork & Concrete Contractors
For contractors that need temporary protection to follow formwork erection, slab pouring, stripping and the next floor cycle.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which clamp should I use for my formwork system?
It depends mainly on the beam type, beam size and fixing position.
Send us the beam drawing or dimensions and we can help check the suitable option.
Can the system be installed before the concrete slab is finished?
Yes.
One of the main reasons for fixing edge protection to the formwork beam is that the system can be installed during the formwork stage, before the finished slab is available as a fixing point.
What is the difference between an H20 clamp and an aluminium beam clamp?
The H20 clamp is made for timber formwork beams.
The aluminium beam clamp is designed around aluminium beam profiles and can be adjustable within a defined working range.
Can one post and barrier work with both clamp types?
In a compatible modular system, the same post and barrier can be used with different formwork attachments.
The connection details should be confirmed before ordering.
Can you make a clamp for our own formwork beam?
Yes.
Send us the beam drawing, section size or sample and we can review the fixing condition.
Start With the Formwork Beam
Send Us Your Beam Size or Formwork Drawing
You do not need to choose the clamp before contacting us.
Send us the wood timber or aluminium beam dimensions, formwork drawing, site photo or details of your current edge protection system.
We can check the fixing condition and discuss a suitable system with you.
