1. Q: Does the product comply with international safety standards, such as CE or OSHA?
A: Yes. Our column clips and beam clamp systems are designed and tested in strict accordance with EU CE certification standards (such as EN 13670 "Construction of Concrete Structures") to ensure safety and reliability. They also comply with US OSHA 1926.451 safety regulations for scaffolding and formwork support systems. Relevant certificates are available upon request.
2. Q: What is the maximum load capacity of the product? What is the safety factor?
A: Taking our standard product as an example, the ultimate tensile force of a single set of clamps can reach over 80kN. Our designed safety factor is typically greater than 2.5, far exceeding the typical lateral pressure of concrete, ensuring absolute safety.
3. Q: What are the advantages compared to traditional tie rod solutions?
A: The core advantages are threefold:
Efficiency: Installation speed is increased by 4-5 times, with no drilling, threading, or tightening of nuts required.
Cost: Eliminating consumables like screws, PVC pipes, and nuts creates zero wear and tear. A set of fixtures can be reused over 500 times, minimizing long-term costs.
Quality: Improved forming results, enabling a fair-faced concrete finish, without drilling and leaking.
4. Q: Can these fixtures be used with any square column or beam size?
A: Our product is a modular system. Standard products cover square columns from 400mm to 2500mm and beam widths from 200mm to 600mm. We offer custom designs for sizes outside this range; please provide your specific size requirements.
5. Q: What is the surface treatment? How do you ensure rust resistance in harsh construction site environments?
A: We use galvanizing (compliant with ISO 1461). This treatment provides excellent corrosion and rust resistance, ensuring long-term use in harsh environments like humid and coastal areas.
6. Q: Are special tools required for installation?
A: Absolutely not. Installation requires only a hammer to tighten the wedge pin, and removal is equally easy. No electricity or pneumatic tools are required, significantly reducing on-site operation requirements and costs. The electric beam clamp only requires an electric wrench.
7. Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: The MOQ for standard products is typically one 20-foot container. We also accept trial orders of mixed container loads (LCL) to meet customer testing needs.
8. Q: What are your payment methods?
A: We accept T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) and L/C (Letter of Credit at sight). Standard payment for new customers is 30% down payment, with the balance of 70% due before shipment.
9. Q: Can you provide samples? Are they free?
A: We are happy to provide samples for quality testing. Samples are free, but international shipping costs are at your expense.
10. Q: In addition to the product itself, can you provide installation instructions?
A: Of course. We provide a detailed English installation guide (PDF and paper version) with each shipment. In addition, we can also provide an installation video link and support remote video guidance via WhatsApp/WeChat.
