MEGANT 430 x 150 x 50 – Heavy Duty Beam Hanger

The MEGANT 430 x 150 x 50 is a high capacity, pre engineered beam hanger system designed for demanding mass timber post and beam and girder connections. Precision machined from aluminum, the system incorporates two connector plates and a pair of interlocking clamping jaws that automatically lock the connection as soon as the beam is engaged.

The MEGANT system allows installation from any direction — top, bottom, or either side — with only 19 mm of insertion travel required to fully seat the connector. It compensates up to 3 mm of manufacturing or installation tolerance and can be installed fully concealed for improved fire performance. MEGANT enables clean, repeatable assembly in both prefabricated shop environments and on site installations.

MEGANT connectors are suitable for structural timber to timber, timber to steel, and timber to concrete connections and are approved under ETA 15/0667.
