Design Our patented innovative and refreshing new design concepts, improves safety, reduces panel damage and offers our clients real cost saving as a result. The most important feature of this product is that the solid 8mm transverse bar is securely fixed to the bearing bar by pressure forging, preventing lifting through weld embrittlement from continued load application or damage in normal handling or operating conditions. The transversal member remains immovable, thus ensuring constant apertures and stiffness is maintained throughout the panel. This results in a neat and safe product. Where our standard fixing clip and bolt are attached to the transversal member, no dangerous protrusions are prevalent. Our range is designed in accordance with DIN, BS and NAAMM standards. Approval certification is available on request. Drawing Office A fully equipped CAD drawing office is able to undertake shop detailing and layout drawing for fabrication and erection purposes. Electronic Data Transfer (EDT) is preferred in an FTP medium for files larger than 1MB using a DXF format. Safety Plain or serrated bars are manufactured. The serrated surfaces improve grip and safety in numerous worker environments which assists in reducing valuable workforce downtime through possible injuries. |
