Formwork Steel Square Tube Hook Waler Bracket for Aluminum Formwork System

A Waler Bracket (also called Strongback or Whaler Bracket) is a heavy-duty structural steel bracket used in concrete formwork systems to support and anchor horizontal walers, distributing concrete pressure and preventing bulging.

It supports walers by providing a secure connection to vertical formwork, distributes hydraulic pressure from wet concrete, ensures precise wall alignment, and enables tighter bracing against lateral forces.

It is used in civil engineering (bridges, tunnels), commercial construction (high-rise core walls, basements), and infrastructure projects like dams and water treatment plants requiring heavy-duty formwork.

Key features include a heavy steel plate (10-20mm thick), a U-shaped waler channel, multiple tie holes for rods, bracing points, and sometimes a kicker notch for base stability.

Types include Standard Single (holds one waler), Double (holds two stacked walers for high pressure), Adjustable/Telescopic (fine-tuning position), and Headed/Heavy-Duty (maximum load capacity).
