Hitsauslaipat

Hitsauslaipat are metal plates designed to be welded to a base structure to create a fixed mounting point, anchor point, or reinforcement. They are commonly used to attach components, transfer loads, or provide lifting points on machinery, frames, and structures. The plates may be flat with holes, or come as lug-style or tab-style pieces that extend from a main body.

Materials and finishes vary with application. Typical materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, with thicknesses chosen to match the load and base material. Holes are sized to suit standard bolt diameters, and finishes range from bare metal to galvanised or painted/coated surfaces for corrosion resistance.

Manufacturing and installation involve cutting or punching the plate, drilling holes if needed, and sometimes bending. The plates are welded to the parent structure, usually with fillet welds around the perimeter or around the holes. Proper fit-up and welding parameters are important to ensure load transfer and to avoid distortion. In some cases, weld-on lugs are supplied pre-welded to mating components for convenience.

Applications and selection considerations include use in construction, machinery frames, vehicle chassis, trailers, lifting gear, and marine equipment. When selecting hitsauslaipat, factors to consider are material type and thickness, hole size and pattern, welding method, corrosion protection, service temperature, and the expected loads. Design should reference applicable welding and bolting standards and the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure safety and reliability.
