PLX Portals/Beams

The PLX Portals are a prefabricated portal frame system designed for speed and efficiency on site. Perfect for garages, sheds, and open-span structures, they provide strength and accuracy while reducing install time and labour.

Beam Application

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the innovative PLX20 steel-reinforced laminated timber structural beam offers unparalleled load-bearing capacity and spanning capability.
Precision-engineered from quality pine with steel laminated into the top and bottom laminates for extra strength and stiffness, PLX20 allows a smaller member beam to span further, making it the ideal choice for garage door lintels and other wide structures.

Portal Application

A strong but lightweight timber bracing solution, the PLX Portal revolutionises building construction.
A smart and sustainable alternative to heavy, hard-to-install and emission-intensive steel portals, the PLX Portal is proudly designed and manufactured in New Zealand by Prolam.
