GTI Slab/Beam Bolsters®
Made in the USA

All GTI Bar Supports are 100% Made in the USA

GTI provides the strongest Slab and Beam Bolsters available in the market. They are made from composite material and meet or exceed the strength of comparable wire supports. GTI Composite Slab and Beam Bolsters have layout markings every inch to assist in laying out reinforcing and the product size is identified on product. GTI composite material offers continuous corrosion protection, both on the job-site and in concrete providing a great alternative to epoxy, stainless, and galvanized bar supports.

The GTI line of Composite Slab and Beam Bolsters contains points on the bottom of the feet that firmly hold the chair in place. GTI Composite Slab and Beam Bolsters are grey or black in color and show virtually no change in strength in temperatures ranging from 0ºF to 150ºF.

Most GTI Composite Slab and Beam Bolsters easily snap together to eliminate overlapping and the use of tie-wire, saving approximately 8% in material cost and additional labor savings. GTI Composite Slab and Beam Bolsters are available in 5 ft. lengths, and are substantially lighter than wire products, allowing field personnel to handle three to five times more quantity than metal.
