Advantages Over Epoxy Bolts

  • Save Time: It takes less time to install a Maxi Bolt than it does an epoxy bolt. Installing Maxi Bolts reduces labor cost per bolt and helps keep you on schedule.
  • No Waiting: Unlike epoxy bolts, as soon as the Maxi Bolt is installed it is ready to accept a load. You don't have to wait while the epoxy cures.
  • Temperature: The Maxi Bolt can be installed regardless of the ambient temperature. Extreme heat or cold doesn't effect the Maxi Bolt.

  • Non Toxic: The Maxi Bolt is non toxic and needs no special environmental procedures in place to dispose of used chemicals.
  • High Strength: The Maxi Bolt utilizes a high strength stud bolt fabricated from ASTM A193 Grade B7 material (ultimate strength = 125,000 psi), tested and used in nuclear power plants the world over.
  • Predictability: Unlike the epoxy bolt, the Maxi Bolt has a known ultimate value and predictable failure mode without all the installation variables.
  • American Made: The Maxi Bolt is made exclusively by Drillco Devices Ltd.and made completely in Long Island City, NY
