The Hyson Fork Head (Four-Way Head) is engineered specifically to secure primary beams in slab formwork systems. Unlike standard U-Heads, the Fork Head features a four-prong design that accommodates single or double H20 timber beams (or steel profiles), locking them firmly in position to prevent tipping or twisting under load.
Manufactured in our Nantong base using high-strength Q235 steel, these heads are capable of transferring heavy vertical loads from the slab directly to the props. Whether you are constructing a commercial high-rise or a civil infrastructure project, Hyson Fork Heads provide the critical connection that keeps your formwork deck safe and level.
Key Features
1. Optimized "Anti-Rotation" Design
The 4-way angle iron or steel sheet design creates a snug fit for standard H20 beams. This restrictive geometry prevents the beams from rotating or sliding laterally during the concrete pouring process.
2. 90° Rotatable Versatility
The head allows beams to be placed in either direction (holding a single beam one way, or overlapping beams the other way), making it versatile for complex grid layouts.
3. Heavy-Duty Welding Strength
Safety is non-negotiable. We utilize CO2 protection welding for the connection between the fork head and the stem/socket. This ensures deep penetration and high shear resistance.
4. Long-Lasting Surface Protection
Available in Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) or Yellow Zinc Plated finishes. Our rigorous anti-corrosion treatment ensures the product remains rust-free and functional for years, maximizing ROI for rental fleets.
