Mitek Software Specifies Bolt Free Girders

LedgerLok from Cullen is changing the way multiple roof girders are being fixed on-site. The latest revision to BS 5268 Part: 3 allows the use of screws when fixing multiple girders, meaning that you now have an alternative to pre-drilling and bolting multiple girders. These can now be quickly and efficiently screwed together to perform as a single unit. LedgerLok is a self-drilling screw that requires no pre-drilling making installation much easier and speeding up the connection time.

LedgerLok also eliminates the need for fabricators to turn trusses over, as fasteners can be installed from one side of the 2 and 3 ply truss. Therefore, specifying LedgerLok will increase the speed of manufacture and reduce manual handling problems.

Mitek’s software can now automatically design LedgerLok screws for the assembly of multiple member trusses.

Timbersolve’s, Dr. Luke Whale said, “The FastenMaster range of screws, including LedgerLok is a real step forward in timber fixing technology, and deserves to make site bolting of truss girders a thing of the past.”

The benefits of assembling girder trusses using the LedgerLok will assist designers, fabricators, erectors, developers and even building inspectors. Can you afford to miss out?
