NZ EXCLUSIVE – GRIDLOK®

For full information and enquiries please visit Steel & Tube

Working in conjunction with Steel & Tube and TRACKLOK®, we have developed a Zip-clip kit to work with the GRIDLOK® brace to be the first proprietary Seismic Wire Ceiling bracing system in NZ. We're helping engineers and architects specify with confidence, allowing regulators to consent and inspect with clarity and providing installers with another tool to clear headaches with high plenums and congested services.

Features and benefits:

Pre-engineered, extensively tested and internationally accredited. Provides upto a maximum of 280kg/f per brace.
Reduces install time to 15 minutes per brace.
Rotate unit through 360 degrees for optimum bracing footprint. Connection saddles designed for all ceiling systems.
Top connector plates for compression post included in every box.
