HOW TO FASTEN GRATINGS AND CHECKER PLATES TO STEEL

Our direct fastening technologies offer an alternative to clamping, welding and through bolting.

There’s no need to hire a specialist welder, or to worry about cables and welding in wet weather if you’re working outside.

You can avoid the risk of clamps shaking loose due to vibration – and you can work from just one side of a beam, without having to get access to the other side.

At Hilti our grating fasteners are tried and tested – we’ve been supplying some of the world’s toughest jobsites on and offshore for more than 15 years. All our fasteners carry Type Approvals.
