Abstract
A shoring post having an elongate body with a lengthwise axis, a top and a bottom. A first beam support assembly is at one vertical location on the elongate body, with a second beam support assembly at a second vertical location on the elongate body. The second vertical location is spaced along the lengthwise axis from the first vertical location. The first and second beam support assemblies are configured to support separate load bearing beams.
Claims25
A shoring post comprising:
- an elongate body having a lengthwise axis, a top and a bottom;
- a first beam support assembly at one vertical location on the elongate body;
- and
- a second beam support assembly at a second vertical location on the elongate body,
- the second vertical location spaced along the lengthwise axis from the first vertical location,
