Z How to install... Watch the installation at 1) Position pre-assembled Grate-Fast with the body between the grating bars and the top hat bracket resting on the bearing bars. The arrows on the body (and top hat bracket on LGF031 and LGF037 (OSB)) should point towards the steel. 2) Slide the Grate-Fast towards the steel until the nose fits under the beam flange. Where necessary adjust the body / screw to the approximate flange thickness / grating depth. 3) Tighten the screw. The Grate-Fast body will automatically rotate until it locks under the bearing bar, with the nose under the flange. Tighten to the recommended torque

The case study below highlights an example of a Grate-Fast, for more examples please visit Case Study: Benjamin Franklin Bridge, PA Lindapter s Grate-Fast was used to quickly secure open bar grating on access platforms so that Engineers could change the accent lighting on the suspension bridge connecting Philadelphia and Camden across the elaware River. Grate-Fast has a cast malleable iron body that provides superior clamping force over the life of the connection and is Lloyds Register approved for resistance to shock and vibration. Using just standard hand tools to secure the grating allowed for a simple installation process, which helped contractors to complete the project on time and on budget. Lindapter s product range also includes: Girder Clamps Rail Connections Lifting Points Hollo-Bolt Pipe Supports
