X-Pandabolt

Description

The X-Pandabolt is very similar to the Hydrabolt except that the X-Pandabolt valve releases the water once installation has been completed. The body of the X-Pandabolt is able to withstand greater deformation than that of a Hydrabolt and therefore withstands greater lateral movement of the rock in which the X-Pandabolt is installed.

Advantages of X-Pandabolts

  • Quick and easy to install
  • Wide expansion range
  • Pressurising done remotely
  • Not affected by blasting vibrations
  • No resin or grout required
  • No parts to lose in transport
  • Not susceptible to rock strength
  • Deforms to accommodate movement of the rock once installed
  • Load distributed evenly over entire length of hole
  • Provides immediate support

Range

Three models of the X-Pandabolt are currently available and can be manufactured in lengths ranging from 0.9 to 3.0 meters in increments of 0.3 meters. Non-standard lengths can be accommodated upon request.
