Steel Safe – Pre-Set Webfix
Steel Safe – Pre-set, Webfix is designed with your subcontractors in mind. The barriers are projected away from the structure to allow metal decking, slabs and SFS to be installed uninterrupted. Features of this system include:
- Attaches to the web of the beam or face of box section by bolting the brackets to pre-drilled holes.
- Allows the steel framing system and metal decking to be installed without clashes with the edge protection.
- Barriers can be positioned up to 800mm away from web of the beam and 800mm above the beam to suit any flange or slab height or overhang.
- The holes are detailed into the Tekla steel model by one of our engineers.
- All brackets are pre-set and their positions shown on the installation GA’s we supply.
- Available as standard height or 1700mm high systems.
Steel Safe – Pre-Set Sacrificial Socket
Steel Safe – Pre-Set, Sacrificial Socket edge protection system is designed to be installed and uninstalled extremely quickly. With one 5m beam being able to be dressed in under a minute, this is by far the quickest of any steel edge protection systems to install and uninstall. Key specifications include:
- J-Safe posts site in sockets that have been detailed by our engineer and welded to the top flange of the steel beams by the steel fabricator.
- The bottom of the barriers can be positioned up to 800mm above the steel beam to allow for any beam or slab height.
- All brackets are pre-set and their positions shown on the installation GA’s we supply.
- Available as standard height or 1700mm high systems.
SteelSafe – Flange Clamp
SteelSafe – Flange Clamp Edge protection system is the most flexible of our three systems. The system does not rely on physical fixings, so doesn’t need any detailing of fixing holes or sacrificial sockets. Key advantages include:
- J-Safe’s Flange Clamp clamps to the bottom flange of the steel beam.
- This system does not require any detailing of holes or drilling of steel beams.
- The most versatile of the three attachment methods as the barriers can be positioned up to 700mm away from the web of the beam and 800mm above the beam to suit any flange /slab height or overhang.
- Available as standard height or 1700mm high systems.
