Anchors for Racking and Scaffolding

Outdoor Racking

  • Asphalt anchors have been used to secure industrial storage racks against manmade accidents (forklifts) and nature made activities such as earthquakes and wind.  Please consult a professional engineer when attempting to meet local safety codes.

  • Shelving must be stable with and without the merchandize on it.

  • Shelf vertical posts must have heavy duty mounting plates on the bottom that will distribute weight to prevent the plates from sinking into the asphalt.

  • Anchors must be installed under the mounting plates.

  • Use SP18 or SP58.  The SP10 or SP12 bolts do not have adequate shear capacity.

Scaffolding

  • To secure scaffolding for the duration of a construction project.

  • The model of the anchor needs to be specified by the project engineer as it depends on numerous factors, specific to each project.

  • We would recommend using at least the SP12, and preferably the SP18 or SP58
