Halfens, the UK-based industrial provider, has launched the heavy-duty ‘big brother’ to conventional strut framing systems, the Powerclick 63 system.

The system is designed to cater for pipes of up to 150mm nominal diameter and offers considerable benefits in ease, speed and final cost of installation compared to alternative welded assemblies used in the offshore oil industry.
Using a minimum of components that are all available ex-stock, Powerclick 63 provides the off-the-shelf solution to what has been until now a custom designed and built market.
Powerclick 63 heavy duty framing obviates the need for the time-consuming and costly detailed planning of pipework support structures; reduces days of welding assemblies together to just a few hours of bolting together pre-assembled components; and enables alterations to existing pipework layouts to be achieved quickly, easily and economically.
Fundamental to the System’s flexibility is box-section channel that incorporates a toothed channel, to give great torsional strength and safe load distribution.
The channel, which is assembled by means of connectors, accepts rapid assembly captive bolts for the fixing of pipe clamps and other accessories. The components are supplied pre-assembled to make construction of framing simple and easy.
Powerclick 63 can be fixed directly to structural steelwork or bolted back to reinforced concrete. Cast-in channel provides an ideal fixing to concrete.
The Powerclick system is the subject of three worldwide applications for patents.
