Keeping everything in hand
Carefully thought through to the finest detail
AluStar's ease of handling is a testament to MEVA's intelligent product design and close collaboration with practitioners in the development and optimisation of its systems. Fast, crane-independent movement is no problem: the convenient grip profile ensures that the AluStar panels can be safely held and transported. They are also easy to position and precision-assemble at the required location. The larger panels are additionally fitted with bump notches that vastly simplify adjustment and alignment.
Cast-iron corners with integral bump notches
- Fitted at four corners for panel widths of 55 cm and more to simplify adjustment and alignment with crow bar
- Stable and durable: the reinforced cast-iron corners significantly reduce the need for repairs


Working in tandem to meet all your on-site needs
Together, AluStar and StarTec comprise a product family featuring crane-independent aluminium and large-format steel panels. The only component needed for their universal application is the assembly lock. No other adapters or connectors are required. Combined use of the two systems allows the efficient and flexible deployment of resources to meet all on-site demands.
