There is a rough distinction in the two different designs – the round shape or square. In addition, they can be categorised according to the end pin designs. There are cylindrical and conical pins, combination pins, pins for tracks with pins or airline tracks. As a rule, shoring beams are made of aluminium and, depending on the model, may have a sturdy PVC sheathing that protects both the goods and the shoring beam itself, making it more durable.

The airline beam model is brand new on the market, for securing cargo using airline tracks. This shoring beam is infinitely telescopic, does not require pressure and enables gentle use in horizontal and vertical areas with maximum blocking forces. For use in the airline track, the airline beam has a locking system on a single-fitting basis – for quick, easy and safe handling.
