Sirius is a 4th generation synchrotron light source under construction in Brazil, with a bare emittance of 250 picometer rad, scheduled to have the first beam late this year. One of the most important aspects for this ultra-low emittance machine is the stability of the components, especially the magnets. This paper describes the main characteristics of the girder system, including the concrete pedestal, the leveling units, the girder itself, the clamping mechanism for the magnets and the
