This bolt hanger zinc plated from Vertical Evolution is available at bolting.eu with 8mm, 10mm and 12mm holes. It is the cheapest zinc plated plate on the market and is 4mm thick. Consequently, its weight of 56 grams is in the medium “bolting weight” class.
Due to the steel quality of the lashing, its use should be carefully considered. Due to the lack of EN standard 959, the product is not suitable for climbing area construction or climbing area rebolting. Here we recommend the 4 mm thick version made of AISI316L steel.
This product is particularly interesting for private developers. Firstly, because of the low price for this bolt hanger. Secondly, the robustness due to the 4 mm thick design is also a good argument.
Suitable expansion bolt for the bolt hanger zinc plated
This expansion bolt is the right one for the zinc plated lug. The 10mm Fischer expansion bolt FBN II 10/10.
The combination of the bracket with A4 steel expansion bolt must be avoided at all costs! Because this creates galvanic corrosion. Not familiar with this yet? Then read our lead article“Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt” to expand your knowledge.
Not suitable for bolting near the sea!
The zinc plated bolt hanger is not suitable for bolting near the sea. The steel does not meet the required corrosion class. In the medium to long term, it will not withstand the extreme chemical conditions. This requires at least duplex steel products.
They are also perfect for bolting near the sea:
- glue in bolt made of titanium
- moreover glue in bolt made of HCR steel
- Furthermore, you need injection mortar for use near the sea

Zinc plated materials
The service life of the bolt hanger zinc plated is relatively short. If you want to bolt a climbing route, please take this into account. This is because the necessary renovations will have a negative impact on the rock. For example, visually due to the many bolts that have been hammered in. On the other hand, the respective fixed point also costs more in total. This is because from the 1st climbing area rebolting at the latest, the overall effort is more expensive than a stainless steel product installed in the same way. We do not allow ourselves to make ethical judgments about what is good and bad. From a technical point of view, however, stainless steel products are clearly preferable if you want to set up a climbing route with expansion bolt .
