in 1934 and ever since has been producing extremely high quality complex products. All Kee Safety products are sold with approvals, test certificates and are supported by a technical team that has 27 years of experience. Kee Safety has facilities across the world, with offices in
the UK (four offices), France, Germany, Poland, Dubai, and has five offices in the USA. It also has its own export department operating out of the UK which looks to seek partnerships in areas where Kee Safety doesn’t have its own presence.
BoxBolt® The BoxBolt®
range is the blind fixing solution for connecting
into hollow sections or where access is restricted to one side only. This system provides an economical solution to making blind connections when compared with traditional methods such as welding or bolting through. The system eliminates complicated fabrications such as welding internal nuts or providing internal stiffeners to reduce crushing from tightening. BoxBolt®
is approved by Lloyds Register and also DIBt
(Deutsches Institut fur Bautechnik) and complies with the design requirements to Euro Code 3 and DIN 18800.
Quality / new product development Kee Safety prides itself on providing a quality product that is
compliant to all relevant approvals and legislation specific for the market it will be used in. The BeamClamp®
and BoxBolt®
products are approved by Lloyds Register and DIBt and go through regular external audits from these two approval bodies. Kee Safety aims to lead the market in new product development and has the facilities in-house to perform prototyping and product testing to make sure that the right product gets to the market as quickly as possible. It has a dedicated area within the 40,000 sq/ft facility in the West Midlands for this type of work alongside regular day to day quality testing.
Technical support The products can be used in an almost
infinite amount of configurations to come up with connection solutions across a wide range of market sectors and therefore require technical
expertise to support them. Kee Safety offers this support
for its products across the globe and has facilities such as 3D CAD design, finite element analysis, in-house bespoke testing, project support, project design and engineers available for site visits. This facility is provided free of charge by the engineers to ensure that the most economical and technically correct solution is provided.
BeamClamp® The BeamClamp®
range is a series of clamps that are used
in conjunction with structural bolts to provide a solution for securing steel together without the need for traditional on site methods such as welding or drilling. When all the costs that are required to make a connection are calculated, the clamping system, in the majority of situations, is the most economical as the installation speed and labour costs are vastly reduced. There are many other benefits such as a guaranteed load, adjustability, no damage to existing steel or coatings, no hot work permits and
