Connector Plates

Connector Plates for Strong Structural Joints

Connector plates are essential components used to join steel or timber members in trusses, beams, and frames. They ensure stability, proper load transfer, and alignment in structural assemblies. At Steel & Prefabs, we supply connector plates built for real construction projects, not light-duty applications.

A steel connector plate distributes forces evenly across the joint, preventing weak spots or misalignment. Properly sized plates improve both safety and performance of steel structures.

Why Connector Plates Are Important

In construction, joints are often the weakest points in a frame. Structural connector plates strengthen these joints by providing a rigid connection between members. They are widely used in roof trusses, portal frames, and other steel assemblies.

Connector plates also allow for easier assembly of prefabricated components, reducing construction time and improving quality.

Key Benefits

• Ensures strong connections between beams, columns, and trusses

• Distributes loads evenly across joints

• Compatible with bolted, welded, or nailed connections

• High-strength steel for long-lasting performance

• Customizable to project specifications

These benefits make truss connector plates indispensable in both industrial and commercial steel construction.

Common Applications

Connector plates for steel structures are used in:

• Roof and floor trusses

• Timber-steel hybrid frames

• Industrial warehouses and workshops

• Portal frame structures

• Prefabricated steel buildings

We provide custom connector plates in various sizes, thicknesses, and hole patterns to match project requirements. This ensures precise alignment, strong joints, and reliable performance.

Engineered for Reliability

Connector plates may appear simple, but incorrect size, material, or hole alignment can compromise the joint. At Steel & Prefabs, every connector plate is designed to meet load requirements and local building standards.
