Lindapter fastening systems: steel connections without welding or drilling

In steel constructions, one thing is paramount: the connection must suit the situation. In many projects, welding or drilling is not desirable or simply not an option. This may be due to safety regulations, existing structures, limited installation time or the expectation of future modifications. In such cases, the right advice makes all the difference.

Kobout supplies Lindapter fastening systems for steel connections without welding or drilling. With specialist expertise and a broad stock range, we help contractors and engineers select a solution that works in practice — now and in the future.

Specialist Lindapter advice for steel structures

Lindapter fastening systems are still relatively unknown to many companies. This is understandable, as they are mainly used in specific situations where conventional connection methods fall short.

That is why all commercial staff at Kobout have completed dedicated Lindapter training. This enables us not only to explain what Lindapter is, but more importantly to advise when Lindapter is the right solution — and when it is not.

Our advice goes beyond the product itself. We take into account:

• structural requirements and loads
• installation and site safety
• potential future adjustments or dismantling

This approach prevents solutions that may look correct on paper but cause limitations in practice.

An alternative to welding and drilling in steel connections

A Lindapter connection allows steel structures to be connected without permanent modifications to the material. No welding is required and no specialist personnel are needed, reducing installation time and avoiding unnecessary project downtime.

The connections are comparable to traditional bolt-and-nut connections and meet the relevant practical requirements. A key advantage is flexibility: Lindapter connections remain adjustable and demountable, providing scope for modifications, extensions or temporary structures.

Safe and reliable Lindapter fastening systems

By eliminating welding and drilling, no hot work permits are required, significantly improving safety on site. Lindapter fastening systems are certified with international approvals, including CE and ETA, and are tested for high strength and heavy loads.

This makes Lindapter suitable for applications where safety, reliability and control are critical.

When is Lindapter suitable?

Lindapter is commonly used in situations such as:

• existing steel structures where welding or drilling is not desired
• projects with limited installation time
• structures that may need to be adjusted, relocated or dismantled later
• applications where safety and flexibility must go hand in hand

As every project is unique, we always assess the complete situation. In some cases, a conventional steel connection may be more appropriate. Making this distinction is an essential part of our advice.

Lindapter products available directly from stock

Good advice only has value if the chosen solution is readily available. That is why Kobout keeps a wide range of commonly used Lindapter fastening systems in stock, allowing projects to proceed without unnecessary delays.
