Cleats

Cleats for Strong Structural Connections

Cleats are steel plates or angles used to connect beams, columns, or other structural elements. They provide stability, load transfer, and reinforcement in steel structures. At Steel & Prefabs, we supply cleats designed for durability, precision, and real-world construction needs.

A steel cleat ensures that beams and members stay aligned and transfer forces correctly. They are essential for welded or bolted connections and can be customized to match structural requirements.

Why Cleats Are Important

In steel construction, misaligned beams or weak connections can compromise the entire frame. Structural cleats provide additional support at joints, helping to resist shear, bending, and torsion forces. Properly sized cleats improve both safety and performance.

Key Benefits

• Provides strong connections between steel members

• Ensures proper alignment and load transfer

• Compatible with bolted or welded joints

• High strength and durable for heavy-duty applications

• Customizable to fit specific project requirements

These benefits make steel connection cleats indispensable for industrial, commercial, and residential steel projects.

Common Applications

Cleats for construction are widely used in:

• Beam-to-column connections

• PEB and portal frame structures

• Industrial warehouses and workshops

• Bridges and heavy-duty frameworks

• Reinforcing joints in steel structures

We supply custom cleats in various sizes, thicknesses, and angles to match your project needs. This ensures precise fit, strong joints, and long-term structural integrity.

Engineered for Safety

Cleats may be small, but errors in size, thickness, or placement can compromise connections and safety. At Steel & Prefabs, every cleat is designed to meet load specifications and local building standards.
