EASY LOCKTM
RAPID SAFE PILE CAGE CONNECTION SYSTEM
Euro Accessories are distributers for the acclaimed EASY LOK pile cage connection system, developed by reinforcement specialist Kierbeck, in collaboration with steelwork clamps specialist Lindapter. The system enables the safe, quick connection of pile cage sections, eliminating the need for bulldog clamps whilst minimising ‘hand time’ in and around the cage. EASY LOK utilises circumferential steel bands (manufactured by Kierbeck) which are factory welded (by a suitably approved CARES fabricator) to the longitudinal reinforcement at cage intersections. With each cage section positioned and lapped, the steel bands of each section abut one another, and the appropriate number of EASY LOK fixings (manufactured by Kierbeck) then clamp each pair of bands together. The system has been awarded Technical Approval status by UK CARES.
Helical is stopped short above and below circumferential bands to accommodate EASY LOK fixing units.
2 no. shear rings are supplied loose-fitted to cage (to be tied on site in helical-free zone after positioning of EASY LOK fixing units).
EASY LOK fixing units can be positioned inside or outside of bands (as long as remaining in line with paint-marked locations).
Longitudinal bars are strategically welded to bands, allowing for bar splicing/ lapping at cage intersections
Trapping-off bars positioned between metal pile casing and trapping-off band
