Suspension kit from concrete ceiling

Hanging items from concrete ceilings

Not sure how to hang from concrete ceilings? This kit offers a great solution for hanging all kinds of stuff from a concrete ceiling. 

What can you hang? This concrete ceiling hanging kit is typically used for hanging signs, suspended ceiling grids, decorative ceiling panels, acoustic baffles, light fittings and luminaires, scuptures and mobiles, decorative features and more.

Safe loads

All components are individually rated to have a safe working capacity of at least 15kg (loading to product failure in excess of 75kg). We always recommend a safe load of one fifth of the theoretical maximum since safety is a major consideration for suspended items. That's called a 5:1 safety factor.

Concrete anchors

The hammer-in anchors (also know as nail-in anchors) are 40mm long with a 15mm head. A 6mm hole is required in the concrete.
6mm x 40mm concrete anchors are zinc plated and suitable for most types of concrete including cracked concrete, stone and hard bricks.

Angled bracket

The right-angled ceiling bracket is 25mm long with a 7mm diameter hole through which the anchor passes. The part where the cable is bonded into is 40mm long. The bracket is made of steel and finished with a zinc plate coating.

Galvanised cable

The cable is 7x7 construction galvanised steel with 1.5mm diameter. The cable length is 1m. Please note that kits with 3m long cables can be supplied to special order - please call.

Bee-Line hook

The self-locking Bee-line hook is fast, strong and economical. The overall height of the hook is 36mm. 

Installation

• Always follow safe working practices, especially when working at height and drilling into overhead concrete. Personal protective clothing should include hard hat, safety goggles for eye protection and site-grade gloves as a minimum. Use of a face mask should be considered.
• Establish the position of fixings and drill 6mm diameter holes using a masonry bit. For a few fixings a hammer action cordless drill can be used but for larger projects we recommend a professional SDS drill with hammer action. The hole should be at least 40mm deep.
• Position the eyelet bracket over the hole and insert a hammer-in anchor. Drive the integral nail home with a hammer to secure. 
• Feed the hook onto the hanging wire and adjust the height as required. The hook includes a self-locking gripper mechanism. To lower or remove the hook depress the nipple on top of the hook (where the cable enters) which releases the clutch. 
• After final adjustment any excess cable can be coiled up out of sight or trimmed off with sharp wire cutters.
