Floor Support Pillars

Zinc die cast pillars support two different heights of floor system. The first is a low height (60 – 100mm) system for cables only, and the second is higher (300 – 400mm), used for air ducts under the floor. Zinc die castings are designed for maximum strength. Originally considered in plastics, zinc was selected as the ideal material for the threaded, adjustable fittings.
