Together with the bolt hanger, the bolt hanger is expansion bolt one of the most important hardware components of climbing routes. That’s why we offer a huge selection for our customers in our range.
Firstly, brands. For example, we have Vertical Evolution, FIXE and Stubai as well as Austrialpin in our range.
Secondly, we offer lugs in all steel qualities. From galvanized zinc plated steel to A4 steel and HCR steel.
And thirdly, shapes. We have a solution for all applications. That means the right bolt hanger. For example, for sport climbing and for work at heights as well as for rope railings.
We are the market leader for bolting hardware in the Alpine region. Consequently, we also offer top prices!
The bolting.eu bolt hanger are the cheapest on the market!
Bolt hanger – Types
Below we show you the most common types of lugs. They are each intended for very specific purposes. In other words, you need to know the intended use for your project.
1 = small 8mm tab for speleology application (only 1 carabiner fits into the eyelet!)
2 = 10mm bolt hanger with 2 eyelets, e.g. for use as the 1st hanger on a climbing route (an Edelrid Ohm can be added)
3 = 10mm lug from Austrialpin for climbing routes (2 carabiners fit into the eyelet)
4 = 10mm Stubai Protect bolt hanger, for applications such as slacklining (widened eyelet protects the carabiner, no cutting!)
5 = 10mm bolt hanger “Infinity” by Vertical Evolution, for use with purely vertical loads such as abseiling points, hanging objects,…
6 = 12mm “Annelox” lug in ring shape from Raumer, for use with rope railings or overhead installation (the eyelet with round steel is very gentle on the carabiner, does not cut in the same way as e.g. 3mm lug)
3mm and 4mm bolt hanger
When buying your tabs, bear in mind the significant differences between 3mm and 4mm models. This is because the different thicknesses result in specific properties. On the one hand, this creates advantages. But also disadvantages. In short: think about what you want to do and then choose the right product!
The strength of the 3mm lug is clearly its weight. The Austrialpin bolt hanger for 10mm expansion bolt, for example, weighs just 42 grams.
The 4mm thick FIXE hanger, on the other hand, weighs an impressive 65 grams. A whopping 50% more! With 50 flaps, this means an additional weight of a good 1 kilo.
The strength of the 4 mm thick strap, on the other hand, is its stability. Consequently, it does not bend at key points where there is a lot of falling. In contrast, experience has shown that the 3 mm thick strap starts to bend at some point. Sometimes it even has to be replaced.
Hence our clear recommendations:
3mm bolt hanger: ideal for alpine development and routes with few falls;
4mm bolt hanger: ideal for climbing areas and difficult routes with many falls;
Climbing area holders watch out!
The amendment to the EN standard 959. On the one hand, the standard requires anchor points made of stainless steel. On the other hand, it also specifies the corresponding breaking loads for the bolt hanger.
We strongly recommend that climbing garden keepers only use anchor points made of at least A4 steel. This is because, with the new standard, stainless steel certainly represents the “benchmark” for the safety standard. This is decisive for the fulfillment of the legal obligations of climbing garden keepers.
Bolt hanger – what you need to know!
Lugs must always have the same steel quality as the expansion bolt. Otherwise galvanic corrosion will occur. Electrons migrate from the noble to the base metal. Put simply, this results in damaging rust.
If you were not already aware of this, please bear it in mind! You can find more information in our article“Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt“!
Here are our tips:
Plates + bolts always the same steel quality
Single-variety storage in a separate (dry) box
When replacing tabs that have “fallen off”, be sure to check! Are they being replaced with the same quality of steel? This also applies to the washer and nut!
Galvanic corrosion on a expansion bolt: A stainless steel lug and nut were screwed onto a zinc-plated bolt. Directly behind the lug, the diameter is only approx. 8 mm. Acute risk of breakage!!!
Zinc plated bolt hanger
For “private” bolting, zinc plated materials are very common. There is nothing wrong with this. After all, they are much cheaper than stainless steel. And the material is usually paid for out of pocket.
However, we ask all developers to use the better quality steel. This is because both durability and long-term safety are significantly better. In addition, much less refurbishment is required. Consequently, the rock also remains “visually” cleaner.
