Heavy Duty Bolt

The HD, or Heavy Duty Bolt was developed to address the need for a shorter blind fixing with improved performance where a shear plane would fall across the legs of a Blind Bolt.

With its expanding base and unique pin locking mechanism the HD bolt is the idea fixing solution between heavy weight steel sections. The HD bolt employs a simple activation method designed to reduce installation time and expense. A hammer and a spanner are all thats required to activate the Heavy Duty Bolt removing the need for costly specialist equipment required with similar products.

  • Quick and easy to install Hd2.
  • No oversized hole required.
  • Finished with a Zinc Flake coating giving 1000 hours salt spray protection.
  • Increased assembly efficiency.
  • Unique pin locking design.
