Lindapter has gained ETA / CE Mark approval of its Type AF and Type AAF Girder Clamps for use in dynamic loading applications. This development extends the range of approved options available to Engineers when designing dynamic connections to Eurocode 3, which also includes Types A and B Girder Clamps. Dynamic loading capacities for these products have been published in Lindapter’s Declaration of Performance documents.

These latest third party approvals are in addition to independent dynamic load testing commissioned by Lindapter for its Hollo-Bolt, Type AF and Type AAF products in order to offer specifiers an economic and technically improved connection compared to welding or through bolting for dynamic load applications.

The independent tests were performed in accordance with EN 1993-1-9: Design of steel structures - Part 1-9: Fatigue. A number of tests were performed at different load levels from 10,000 to 2.5 million cycles in order to determine suitable detail categories. The results from the testing were then used to calculate Safe Working Loads (including a Factor of Safety).

The new brochure explains further the steelwork clamping concept, key benefits, the free technical support services available from Lindapter, examples of typical applications, an in-depth project case study featuring Berlin Bridge and information regarding independent product approvals.

Featured in the brochure are typical applications showing connection solutions for:

• Conveyor Systems
• Cranes and Crane Rails
• Bridges & Bridge Refurbishment
• Material Handling Systems
• Hoists & Lifting Equipment

Each section includes a real-life project photograph, description of the solution and 3D and 2D drawings so the reader can quickly understand and visualise the application and relate it to their own situation.
