Technical information on popular BoxBolt steelwork cavity fixings is now available at the touch of a button from connection specialists Access Technologies Ltd. The company has designed a new technical e-flier allowing architects, specifiers, structural engineers and contractors to download data instantly via a specially designed email link.

Part of the company’s range of on-line and software-based support initiatives for its BeamClamp fixings, the e-flier provides technical information on a key strength of the range, BoxBolt cavity fixings. It covers the key features, benefits and applications, detailing the types of head available, from the standard hexagonal head through to a button head socket, countersunk option and socket head cap screw. Installation instructions are also included alongside technical data. It will offer a click-activated link to the BoxBolt technical brochure, the full 28 page BeamClamp product catalogue and the BeamClamp website (www.beamclamp.com).

“This new e-flier provides immediate access to important technical information for designers and specifiers” says Access Technologies’ General Manager, Ian Page. “It will help meet the growing demand for information from our customers on a unique product. BoxBolt cavity fixings are the first hot dip galvanised steelwork expansion bolts on the market, and continue to bring enormous installation, durability and corrosion resistance benefits to any application”.

As the industry standard in steelwork cavity fixings for civil, structural engineering and general construction applications, BeamClamp’s BoxBolt range provide a blind fixing solution for connecting steelwork into hollow or box sections. They can also be used where access is only available from one side, without the need for on-site drilling or welding use. In those architecturally sensitive applications where the BoxBolt head is visible, then the countersunk or button head style offer a neat, attractive finish, without compromising on the structural integrity of the connection. Installation of these new head options is made faster and simpler with the use of the unique BoxSok tool which features a specially designed socket to hold the BoxBolt body in place whilst allowing tightening of the bolt’s inner socket and fin expansion.

A BoxBolt fixing can be used with rectangular, square and even circular hollow sections. Manufactured in M08, M10, M12, M16 and M20 bolt diameters, BoxBolts are available in a choice of three lengths for each size to allow for a large fixing range. This versatility also ensure that the fixing ranges between size 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 overlap for application where determining the exact fixing thickness is difficult, making them especially easy to work with in contrast to other steel fixings on the market.

Established in 1995, Access Technologies is staffed by an experienced team of construction professionals and chartered engineers, capable of dealing with any technical enquiry quickly, knowledgeably and efficiently. The company’s manufacturing and warehousing facility is located in the West Midlands area.
