Lindapter launch 'all-in-one' steelwork clamp

Lindapter, the inventor of the Girder Clamp and Hollo-Bolt has developed the Type AAF, a new steelwork clamp for connecting steel sections, offering adjustability, anti-corrosion protection and high load capacities, even in low temperature environments. Lindapter’s flagship product is the latest addition to its High Slip Resistance (HSR) family of clamps designed for high load requirements including frictional, tensile and combined load applications. The clamp features an innovative 2-part design that self-adjusts to suit a range of flange thicknesses, allowing contractors to use a single product type for multiple connection requirements. Typical applications include securing steel framed roofs, heavy pipe supports, mechanical handling equipment and bridge strengthening apparatus. Manufactured from SG iron to EN 1563 with specific low temperature properties, the Type AAF provides resistance in cold environments down to -60° C, where impact strength is important. Durability also extends to corrosion protection as the product is supplied with a hot dip galvanised coating as standard. Engineers can be confident that they are specifying a safe and reliable connection as load capacities have been independently verified by TÜV NORD. Compared to conventional methods such as drilling or welding, the Type AAF can be installed in minutes without the need for hot work permits, reducing construction time and labour costs. For additional convenience during installation, Direct Tension Indicators (DTIs) can be used to ensure the correct tension is applied to the fasteners (visit the Lindapter website for full details). The Type AAF is available now from your local distributor in sizes M12, M16 and M20. Lindapter has published a new brochure ‘High Slip Resistance Clamps by Lindapter’ to support the product launch, visit the website www.lindapter.com or call +44 (0)1274 521 444 to get your copy.
