Mechanical Anchoring

Quality mechanical anchors

DynaBolt™ and TruBolt™ mechanical anchors have been trusted by the Australian construction industry for more than 50 years.

Masonry screws are versatile and 100% removable, and AnkaScrew Screw-In Anchor concrete screws can be used for temporary or permanent anchoring into concrete, brick, hollow brick or block.

Sleeve bolts for light or medium-duty fixing

The range includes:

• Low-profile heads for flush fixing
• Non-conductive options for proximity to electrical wires
• Industry-leading DynaBolt™ sleeve bolt medium-duty anchor
• Hollow wall anchors for light-duty cavity fixing for plasterboard

Engineering bolts and anchor bolts for concrete

If you’re searching for engineering bolts for a concrete anchoring application, Ramset’s range of anchor bolts and mechanical anchors is designed for exactly that. The term “engineering bolt” often refers to a structural fastener designed to carry serious loads, which is where Ramset’s heavy-duty and medium-duty anchor bolt range does the heavy lifting.

The right product depends on your substrate, load requirements and environmental conditions. Ramset’s mechanical anchoring range covers everything from light residential fixings through to heavy-duty concrete anchor bolts rated for seismic conditions. All are tested and trusted for New Zealand’s construction environment.

Choosing the right mechanical anchor

When it comes to choosing the right anchor or engineering bolt, it comes down to a few key factors:

• Load and substrate: Which load does the anchor have to carry? Are you fixing into concrete, brick or block? Anchors are tested to specific capacities, so it is critical to match the product to the load.
• Environmental conditions: The surrounding conditions are essential when choosing the right anchor. Coastal or high-moisture environments, for example, may require corrosion-resistant anchors, such as stainless steel or coated options. Temperature fluctuations can also create expansion and contraction stresses on fixings.
• Application type: Consider the demands of the application before choosing an anchor. Heavy-duty anchors may be appropriate for higher loads or demanding conditions, while structural connections, machinery bases and seismic-rated fixings require specific levels of anchor performance.

Medium and heavy-duty anchor bolt applications

For applications where a standard fastener won’t cut it, Ramset’s medium and heavy-duty mechanical anchor range provides the engineering bolt performance New Zealand professionals rely on.
