Tri-Log TM Wood Crib
American Commercial introduces the Tri-Log TM System, the new cribbing method that saves you time and money. It is designed to replace four and nine point cribs as well as other four-sided structural wood systems. This system uses only three pieces to build each course compared to four or more pieces for the competitive systems. That’s 25% fewer pieces, so you’ll benefit from significant reductions in labor, handling and transportation costs.
The unique interlocking design delivers 100% contact between the nested timber layers. This efficiency means Tri-Log TM cribs give up to 50% more support than the average four point crib. The tripod configuration and interlocking design provide superior stability, allowing higher aspect ratios than conventional cribbing.
The angle-cuts of the notches reduce stress at the overlap and maximize carrying capacity throughout the load cycle.
Tri-Log TM cribs are slid into place tight to the roof rather than having to be lifted over the previous course and can also be used with ACI prestressing grout bags or headers.
The finished wedge-shaped cribs promote more efficient ventilation and air flow than solid square or rectangular cribs.
Tri-LogsTM are available in standard lengths up to 60" in either 4" or 6" sizes to handle capacities in excess of 800 tons. Custom designs for virtually any capacity can be produced.
