I'd be interested in their load bearing capacity - I guess the zip ties would snap before that was reached though
Anyone know the tensile strength of the zip ties? :laugh:

Thats quite intresting, I have used cable ties on a number of occasions and found them to be amazingly handy...For Example:
When I worked for SGB we were doing a English Heritage job on the Norfolk Coast which involved a Huge Temp Roof with sheeting fixed to tube purlins and said purlins fixed to pairs of unit beams using band & plate the only problem was due to the topography Design (The Design legend himself...Mr Ray Kellard) were struggling to prove B&P alone had the load value, now we all were waiting for a huge revision to the scheme that we thought would have involved millions of additional fittings and untold metre's of tube (Usually what happens in these situations!!) But no....to our relief we were instructed to fix a 12mm cable tie around the fittings that held the purlins and zip up under the top chord of the beam....it was as simple as that!! (OK getting back to the fittings that had been roofed over was a pain but it was better than ripping the roof off to start again)
Cable Ties....The Scaffolders Friend!!
Sorry for hijacking the thread...my bad:embarrest:
Looks like a very handy product especially where your building an internal birdcage scaffold thats gonna be up for a while, we've all seen how much boards can warp on these causing trip hazards all over the place. Also a slightly proud board can cause the extra hazard of becoming a trap if kicked a few times so that it moves off its last transom.
Never mentioned cable ties once
DAMN
what is product cost
Looks good, but still no mention of cost. That will make or break it.
i really like the look of the product how durable are they, Zip ties are our verry strong and our best friend also would you be able to make it suit inside boards this would prevent them being removed by other trades reducing safety officers on our backs reinstating boards and other trades makeing benches out of them!
I must be a salesman dream but I think these could be really useful. We had to lash around 1500 boards before we knocked of for crimbo and I reckon we would have ripped your hand of.
Yeah definately. I hate haveing diferent systems to do the same job e.g wire lashings, board clamps and limpets, think I've even got a few of those spring loaded feckin things that could take your eye out, but I must admit that looks the business.
Hi flynnanddawson
Looks a good bit of kit but how easy is it when it comes to adaptations etc. say if you needed to get a set of boards out of the centre of a run.
Also those scaffs are experiencing the constant problem of dirty bas***d brickies not cleaning up and sweeping the boards. Leaving the poor scaff raising the boards to get covered in sh*te that was nothing to do with him!!
FU**ING BRICKIES!!!
