, slope compensation must be
provided.

These prefabricated birch plywood wedges make it
possible to stand load-bearing towers in the perpendic-
ular on surfaces with various inclinations, even when
utilising the full leg load.

Securing the superstructure at angles of over 12%:

Connect the head-plate to the longitudinal beam
(e.g. with Locking rod 15.0/33cm and Super-plate

Inclined ground surface
using Staxo wedge support WS10
Used with timber wedges, this component provides
angle adjustment to floor-slab constructions with a
max. inclination of 45°.
Bolted into the multi-purpose waling or steel waling, this
wedge support prevents the timber wedges from slip-
ping and ensures that the loads are safely transferred.
Note:
If the legs of the load-bearing tower have to be located
outside the pattern of drilled holes in the multi-purpose
waling, then a suitable 20
mm diam. hole must be
drilled in the web of the waling.
CAUTION
Excessively steep wedges may slip away!
➤
Maximum inclination: 20%!
For this reason, wedges must NOT be placed
on top of one another in an attempt to compen-
sate for inclinations that are greater than 20%.
