1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A light, quick and exible system, comprised by metallic towers, metallic (steel/aluminum) struts, metallic
(steel/aluminum) beams and accessories.
It is ideal for the propping of slabs and beams of building works (residential, commercial or industrial),
because it enables a high productivity index, due to the handling facility, the lightness of its components
and the system exibility, meeting all geometries.

2. TS MILL SYSTEM ELEMENTS
2.1. TS METALLIC TOWERS
The TS metallic towers system is a composition of metallic structures formed by the tting of the
braced tubular frames by “X” diagonal elements. The assembly formed by two frames and two diagonal
elements (DX) is called module.
Its multiple models, measures and accessories offer assembly alternatives that meet several types of
works, mainly where a support structure is required as a way of accessing a certain height.

Since it is a practical, safe and easily assembled system, it does not require specialized labor. Therefore,
your system is part of the day to day of countless workers and foremen, such as load towers in the
propping of beams and slabs.

2.1.1. TUBULAR FRAMES
This line of scaffolds is comprised of frames that differ from each other in width and in height. It is
compact and easily assembled.
Main element of the TS tower, responsible for transmitting the actuating loads to the support. It sets the
width (in the plant) of the tower: TS 3 = 1.50 m or TS 4 = 1.00 m.

The double base is a smart, economic and safe solution for the
accomplishment of the propping of the slabs sections near the beams,
whether they are periphery beams of inner beams. With the double
base, it is possible to use the existing propping of the beams, as an
integrating part of the slabs propping.
The double Base is tted between two beams and allows tting the
Pitchfork to support the slab beams with a higher elevation.
Never use the double base in the

2.3. ASSEMBLY OF THE METALLIC TOWER (TS OR 10T)
STEP 1
Adjusting the shoes
There are a few criteria that should be followed before starting the assembly of the metallic towers’
modules. Please nd below some recommendations and a table to help in the assembly:
It is essential always to request the support soil evaluation before
assembling the equipment, avoiding supporting directly on
improper soils.
The TS Mills System is the most practical, simple and safe in the metallic structures composition.

The use of adjustable shoes is
recommended in case the soil is
uneven.
In case the height overcomes the rule,
the guying or bracing of the structure
is indispensable.
I. Place the xed or adjustable bases in the position stated in the design. DETAIL

2.5. MILLS TOWER
It consists of a system of light parts with practical and quick tting. The sturdiness of the parts acts
as a protection to damages caused during the moving, handling and disassembly. Stable and safe
for propping, its versatility allows several tower conceptions: triangular, square, square-on-point and
rectangular.
The rigidity of the Mills Tower triangle allows supporting axial loads of up to 5.0 tf per post, considering
that the tower is properly braced.

starting the assembly.
The struts should be adjusted for the right
foot, before the assembly, thus avoiding
the set displacement. (Use a template or
a standard prop).
Check if the tripod is in compliance with the
strut type. A specic tripod supports each
strut.
2.6.1.9.4. TRIPOD USE RULE
There is no need to use tripods in intermediate struts. However, tripods should always be used in

It works as a grid to support the plywood plates, receiving the acting loads (Own weight and overload
according to NBR 15696) and distributing them to the vertical elements (struts or TS towers). That may
be used as main beamwork, also called guides or stringers, or a secondary beamwork, also called
crossbeams or drop-beams.
There are several types of beams, of different dimensions, technical characteristics, and raw materials.
For each works situation, there is a model that is the most appropriate.

2.8. OTHER ELEMENTS
2.8.1. METALLIC FORK
◄ Fork for
periphery beam.
The metallic beam fork replaces very advantageously the traditional wooden fork in works of residential
and commercial buildings in the oor types.
Its use provides timesaving of up to 50% in the assembly and disassembly. It does not need nails, side
locking of the beams, use of the traditional wooden wedges and the tie rods with nuts.
One of its main advantages is the versatility, being adjustable both in height and in width, and it may
serve a wide range of different beam measures, through milimetric adjustments.
The client should notify the mold supplier
on the use of the metallic fork. The molds
should be structured with lying/plated lath
due to the fork.
The structure of the beams’ bottom should be checked,
observing the fork height.

As a supplement in the assembly of the monolithic structure towers, the unit “Edicações” provides
tying columns and clamps, used for the joining among towers, assemblies of large catch platforms,
façade pullers and all types of request outside the conventional assembly standards.
The tying columns range from 0.50 to 6.00 meters in multiples of 0.50 m.

2.9.2.3. FIXED AND HINGED (TURNING) CLAMPS
The use of the 1/49 (A) and 2/49 (B) clamps manufactured in SAE 1070 steel and having a unitary
weight of approximately 1,24 kg/pc is required to attach the pipe diagonal elements to the posts.
The clamps should follow the criteria procedures for inspecting
the clamps Mills – PI-001.

MATERIAL
Aço SAE 5160
The 2/49 clamp should only be used when there are
interferences that do not allow the attachment of the
vertical pipes in the crossbeams.
360°
The 2/42 clamp allows 360º
rotation of a pipe against the
other.
The 1/42 clamp fastens two
pipes at 90º and reacts by
torsion to the pipe yield, creating
an elastic crimping.
