Scaffold ties to cladding

[dkerr]

All,

I am working on a design that requires the scaffold to be tied to a building with steel profile sheeting. Usually I would use Apollo Tek screws and brackets. These go through the the profile cladding and fix to the cladding rails.
The problem is these fail after the base material is thicker than 6mm. I have a cladding rail with a flange 10.9mm thick.

Can anyone suggest another tie to use?

JAckties are also unsuitable, as they have stopped manufacturing them.

Thanks in advance.

These "heavy" Tek screws go through up to 22mm thick steel.

Hi, the link referring to the Tek 8 screws is exactly what you need. I used these last week after the design stipulated I had to use these. Great product, self drilling, I pre drilled a pilot hole to aid them going in by using a battery drill. Available on line or from Apollo fixings.
