DowelPlate system VAS2

A smart plate follows the form

It looks quite simple: Doweling the crane foot directly onto the floor and that's it. But in reality this fastening technique requires a sound know-how. For more than 20 years, we have devoted ourselves to this topic. Already some years ago, our proven DowelPlate-System was patented and we have been mass-producing it ever since.

Column-mounted slewing jib cranes can be doweld directly to the floor using the patented DowelPlate-system. This system replaces the conventional fixing methods that use foundation and anchor bolts.

In order to ensure safe anchoring, the dynamic stress on cranes needs to be calculated correctly. Factors such as distance between dowels, usage and correct sizing of the DowelPlate, depth of bore holes, type of dowels, and even the assembly itself have to be taken into account when calculating the force applied to the hall floor. The latter has to comply with specified requirements, too: Reinforced or plain concrete floor / ceiling (C20/25 or B25 acc. to DIN 1045) with a minimum thickness of 170 mm (without screed). Although our DowelPlate has a special frame to prevent swinging, the ground needs to be sufficiently even.

We further improved this plate by means of innovative elements. Now you can profit from a better, faster, and even more comfortable system. Integrated levelling bolts allows quick and fast alignment of DowelPlate. Faster levelling of ground irregularities (up to max. 15 mm) thanks to defined, elastic supporting surface of VETTER levelling buffers – no time-consuming alignment. The buffer elements are filled with fast-curing special mortar to ensure uniform pressure load and immediate commissioning.

You can benefit from the extensive expert knowledge which has been implemented in the development of the VETTER DowelPlate system.

The DowelPlate-system VAS2 is available for small and medium-sized column-mounted slewing jib cranes.
