PRODUCT NEWS
Launched in 1994, HECO MULTI-MONTI-plus screw anchors have been a dependable choice for the European construction industry for over 30 years. The tried and tested range is manufactured in the Black Forest by German screw specialist, HECO-Schrauben, and is available in the UK from distribution partner, APTUS FASTENER SYSTEMS. HECO MULTI-MONTI-plus screw anchors
offer a cost-effective alternative to chemical and expanding anchors, delivering comparable performance with greater versatility. In addition, MULTI-MONTI-plus screw anchors can be loaded with either static or quasi-static loads immediately, unlike chemical anchors which require time to cure.
Further benefits include a special thread geometry that ensures easier driving with less torque, increasing user productivity and output. This same geometry also reduces stress on the fixing and surrounding substrate, enabling applications closer to the edge.
The name MULTI-MONTI-plus is derived
from “multi-functional mounting,” and as the name suggests, these anchors offer exceptional versatility. They can be used to fasten into various materials including concrete, natural stone, solid brick, clinker, and hollow concrete block. As well as screw-in anchors, the range includes specialist push-pull prop, baseplate, pre-set, ring, and assembly rail anchors. HECO MULTI-MONTI- plus screw anchors are available in lengths from 25mm to 340mm, in gauges from 5mm to 20mm, and in various finishes including carbon steel, bright zinc plated, and A4 stainless steel. Numerous head options are also offered, including countersunk, pan head, hexagon, and hexagon with washer. The anchors are certified through European
Technical Assessment (ETA) and benefit from multiple technical approvals, including seismic approval, sprinkler system approval, and fire rating in concrete and brickwork.

That real-world expertise resonated strongly with consumers at the show, who were drawn to the brand’s clear messaging, practical formats, and emphasis on results without compromise. “We had a fantastic few days at BBC Gardeners’ World Live,” said Steve Harper, managing director at Grass Gains. “It was hugely rewarding to speak with so many passionate gardeners and hear firsthand about their lawn care challenges.

Chrome plated, the Round Shackleless padlock is corrosion-resistant and boasts a rustproof locking mechanism to offer long and reliable operation and making it perfect for external use fitted to a van. Also manufactured from hardened steel for extra strength, the included specialised heavy duty van hasp is bright nickel plated and electrophoretic desposition (EPD) treated making it corrosion resistant – again, essential for outdoor use and especially where van doors can be damaged by inferior corrosive locks. Coming complete with fixing nuts and bolts, the
Van Lock solution is an easy way to add an extra layer of protection to a vulnerable van. Aside from the complete Van Lock solution, the individual components are available separately, along with an alternative heavy duty hardened steel, zinc-plated, corrosion resistant hasp & staple, also for use with the Round Shackleless padlock.
