What is the ADIT AAC anchor plate, and why is it essential for your safety?
In modern construction and industry, work-at-height anchoring is a critical subject that leaves no room for compromise. ADIT AAC is a professional anchor plate that forms a permanent, stable anchoring surface for full fall protection, certified for the use of a single person. It is manufactured from high-quality, durable galvanized steel and fully meets the requirements of the strict European standard EN 795:2012 Type A. It serves as a highly reliable end point to which workers at height, rope-access (rappelling) technicians and various fall-arrest systems connect on construction sites, factories and infrastructure facilities.
Combination solutions for perfect anchoring in concrete
To guarantee the safe and full functioning of this anchoring surface, it must be combined with approved mechanical anchors matched to the type of substrate. The ADIT AAC plate is designed for optimal performance in two main combinations:
1. Combination with the ADIT MTH mechanical wedge anchor
The ADIT MTH wedge anchor is a first-class torque-controlled mechanical expansion anchor, especially suited to permanent applications in uncracked concrete. Combining the plate with the MTH anchor provides a fast, classic, strong and particularly economical solution for creating reliable end points.
2. Combination with the professional ADIT TFE concrete screw
The TFE concrete screw allows direct, clean threading into the concrete without generating internal expansion pressures in the material. Its major advantages are installation speed, the ability to work safely very close to concrete edges and at small spacings between anchors, together with the option of simple periodic removal or inspection.
Comparison of combination solutions for the ADIT AAC plate
| Comparison parameter | Combination with ADIT MTH wedge anchor | Combination with ADIT TFE concrete screw |
|---|---|---|
| Anchoring mechanism in concrete | Torque-controlled friction expansion | Direct thread-cutting in concrete, no expansion |
| Installation speed & ease | Standard (insert, hammer in, torque-tighten) | Especially fast (direct driving with an impact driver) |
| Working distance from edges | Relatively limited, due to expansion pressures | Minimal — ideal for working close to the edge |
| Removal / inspection option | Permanent (cut the rod if it must be removed) | Can be unscrewed and replaced easily |
