Overview

The Type RC girder clamp is used to achieve a fast steelwork fixing connection between two steel beams or other steel sections where the flanges are 10mm thick or greater and where low tensile load capacities are present. The hole centre is custom drilled for each specific application to achieve a perfect installation. Manufactured from forged steel and supplied with corrosion protection as required. Suitable for use on parallel and tapered flanges up to 5°.

Features & Benefits

  • Customised hole centre.
  • For parallel and tapered flanges up to 5°.
