Shear plates and anchor dowels – high-capacity connectors for structural timber engineering

GH shear plates and anchor dowels are robust connectors designed for the safe transfer of high shear and tensile forces in timber-to-timber and timber-to-steel joints. They are installed in pre-milled recesses and used together with bolts or screws. The large contact area ensures uniform load distribution and significantly increases the capacity of the connection.

Benefits of GH shear plates and anchor dowels

• Very high load-bearing capacity in shear and tension
• Uniform force transfer through large bearing surfaces
• Usable with bolts, threaded rods or structural screws
• ETA approved and compliant with Eurocode 5
• Made in Germany – precision and consistent quality

Applications

• Structural timber engineering, hall and bridge construction
• Timber-to-steel joints and hybrid connections
• Beam splices, purlin joints and frame corners
• Reinforcement and refurbishment of timber structures

GH shear plates and anchor dowels are the ideal choice for heavy-duty connections requiring maximum safety and long-term reliability.
